Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for statistically associating mobile devices and non-mobile devices with geographic areas. One of the methods includes for each selected mobile device of a plurality of mobile devices, receiving latitude-longitude pairs for the selected mobile device, the latitude-longitude pairs corresponding to a location of the selected mobile device during a time period. The plurality of latitude-longitude pairs are organized into clusters, with the clusters corresponding to geographic regions visited by the selected mobile device during the time period. A score is calculated for each cluster, the score representing a likelihood that a user of the selected mobile device resides in a household within the cluster. A location of the user's household is identified to be within one of the geographic areas corresponding to the cluster having the highest score. The mobile device is associated with the geographic area having the highest score.

Abstract: Tier switching of spectrum access priority tier levels for networks in a multi-tier level spectrum access system is disclosed. The tier switching may be based on conditions in the networks to allow more efficient network/system operation. In an implementation, the switching of tier levels may be a swap of tier levels between a network/device and another network/device. In this case, the tier level of a network/device is switched or swapped with the tier level of another network/device and each network device operates at the tier level of the other network/device. In another implementation, the switching of tier levels may be a switching of tier levels used by a single network or a single device without any swap occurring with another network or device. In this case, the tier level of a network or device may be switched to another tier level for operation in the SAS.

In further aspects, a user equipment identifies one or more of: a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence or a DMRS location pattern from a base station, determines at least one of a plurality of transmission characteristics of the first base station based on one or more of: the identified DMRS sequence or the identified DMRS location pattern, and performs interference cancellation for transmissions from the base station.

Abstract: A received first DCI comprises: a first trigger field (indicating that the first DCI is triggered in response to a second DCI comprising a second trigger), a validation field (indicating a validation duration for receiving the second DCI validating the first DCI), a hybrid retransmission request (HARQ) identifier field, and a new data identifier (NDI) field. TBs are created in response to the first DCI. In response to monitoring not detecting the second DCI: the first DCI is invalidated and transmission of TBs dropped; the HARQ process ID and the NDI are stored; and the first TBs are stored in a HARQ buffer. A third DCI indicating a same value of the HARQ process ID is received. Uplink signals are transmitted in response to the third DCI. The stored NDI are employed to determine an adaptive-retransmission of the TBs or a new transmission of second TBs.
