Abstract: A cellular communication system is disclosed in which a base station operates a cell which has a supplementary uplink portion (e.g. on a different frequency and/or using a different technology). The base station broadcasts an offset for user equipment (UE) in its coverage area to assist the UE performing cell selection. Specifically, the UE determines; based on measurements for the cell, the offset, and capability of the UE to communicate using the supplementary uplink portion, whether the cell of the base station is an appropriate candidate for cell selection such that: if the UE is capable of communicating using the supplementary uplink portion then the UE performs cell (re)selection based on the offset; and if the UE is not capable of communicating using the supplementary uplink portion then the UE disregards the offset in its cell (re)selection.

The SCI indicating the value for the minimum communication range parameter can be transmitted to one or more devices.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a hotspot scanning method and an electronic device. Whether a condition of initiating a hidden hotspot scanning is met is first determined. If the condition of initiating the hidden hotspot scanning is met, a name of a hidden hotspot is obtained. Then, the hidden hotspot scanning is initiated by using the name of the hidden hotspot. If the condition of initiating the hidden hotspot scanning is not met, the hidden hotspot scanning is not initiated. In this way, whether the condition of initiating the hidden hotspot scanning is met is determined before the hidden hotspot scanning is initiated. This effectively reduces a disclosure probability of the name of the hidden hotspot, thereby achieving a purpose of reducing a security risk in hotspot scanning.

Abstract: A method of sounding and feedback with channel quality information and reduced overhead is provided. A receiving station receives a sounding signal transmitted from an access point over multiple sub-channels of a wide channel in a wireless network. The receiving station detects channel quality based on the received sounding signal for each sub-channel. The receiving station then performs channel estimation based on the received sounding signal and thereby determining feedback information. Finally, the receiving station transmits a feedback message to the access point, the feedback message contains NULL feedback information, reduced feedback information, or channel integrity/quality indicators based on the channel quality information for each sub-channel. Based on the feedback message, the access point may repeat the sounding process, narrow the transmission bandwidth, or select only stations who have indicated uncorrupted channel sounding for MU-MMO transmission.
