Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE comprises a higher layer processor configured to acquire a dedicated radio resource control (RRC) configuration for a downlink slot aggregation, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) receiving circuitry configured to monitor a PDCCH carrying a downlink control information (DCI) format for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and PDSCH receiving circuitry configured to receive the PDSCH. When the PDCCH is with a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), the downlink slot aggregation applies to the PDSCH. When the PDCCH is with a second RNTI, the downlink slot aggregation does not apply to the PDSCH.

Abstract: A reservation request is received for a data transport session. The reservation request contains a requested class of communication service through the asynchronous network. The state of the network along the route is then preferably determined and at least one end-to-end route through the network is obtained. The route is based on the requested class of communication service and the state of the network. The data transport session is then controlled, such that data is forced to travel along at least one route through the asynchronous network. This is preferably done by controlling multiple data controllers dispersed along the at least one route by mapping specific data protocols to specific routes, or mapping specific data protocols to specific ports in each data controller. If a state of the asynchronous network indicates that the route cannot transport data in conformity to the class of communication service, then the route is changed to a backup route through the network.

Abstract: A radio station (1) transmits, to a radio terminal (3) on a licensed frequency (Cell #1), control signaling (S102) associated with at least one of a measurement timing and a measurement period of terminal measurement on an unlicensed frequency (Cell #2) and receives, from the radio terminal (3) on the licensed frequency (Cell #1), a result of the terminal measurement that is executed in response to the control signaling (S102) and in accordance with at least one of the measurement timing and the measurement period (S105). This contributes, for example, to acquisition of information useful for the radio station to determine whether to allow the radio terminal to perform communication on the unlicensed frequency.

Abstract: A decentralized communication device is provided that facilitates optimal positioning and orientation of one or more antennas for wireless communication with external devices. The decentralized communication device includes one or more master components and one or more slave components. The master and the slave components are physically separate and communicate wirelessly. In some embodiments the slave acts as a carrier frequency translator between the master and an external wireless device, where it communicates with the external device using a first frequency and communicates with the master using a second frequency which is different from the first frequency. In another embodiment the slave has most or all the physical layer to do the digital coding, digital modulation, data framing, data formatting and data packetization for communicating with an external device, in which case digital coding and digital modulation is distributed between the master and the slave.

Abstract: A radio node may calculate one or more performance metrics based on measured satellite signals, which are associated with a global positioning system, or wireless signals that are associated with a cellular-telephone network. Then, the radio node may determine, based on the one or more performance metrics, whether the radio node is a synchronization master in a cluster of radio nodes. When the radio node is the synchronization master, the radio node may provide information intended for a computer specifying that the radio node is the synchronization master and the one or more performance metrics. In response, the radio node may receive a synchronization request associated with another radio node in the cluster. Furthermore, the radio node may provide the synchronization information intended for the other radio node, where the synchronization information specifies time, frequency, and phase synchronization for at least the cluster.
