Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a User Equipment (UE) configured by a Master enhanced NodeB (MeNB) for operation with dual connectivity to a Secondary eNB (SeNB) to determine a power for transmission to the MeNB and a power for transmission to the SeNB in a subframe when a total power the UE determines according to power control processes for transmission to the MeNB and for transmission to the SeNB exceeds a maximum transmission power in the subframe. Methods and apparatus are also provided for the MeNB to select one or more antenna ports the UE uses to transmit to the MeNB and inform the selected antenna ports to the UE.
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for configuring an uplink operating frequency band for user equipment from among all the uplink system bands. The user equipment transmits an uplink control channel on the uplink frequency band. The uplink operating frequency band includes six resource blocks in a frequency domain. The uplink control channel is transmitted using the lowest frequency resource block and the highest frequency resource block from among the six resource blocks within the uplink operating frequency band.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training and deploying machine-learned communication over RF channels. In some implementations, information is obtained. An encoder network is used to process the information and generate a first RF signal. The first RF signal is transmitted through a first channel. A second RF signal is determined that represents the first RF signal having been altered by transmission through the first channel. Transmission of the first RF signal is simulated over a second channel implementing a machine-learning network, the second channel representing a model of the first channel. A simulated RF signal that represents the first RF signal having been altered by simulated transmission through the second channel is determined. A measure of distance between the second RF signal and the simulated RF signal is calculated. The machine-learning network is updated using the measure of distance.

Abstract: A wireless network adapter is connected to a computing device. A driver module of the wireless network adapter converts a wireless-protocol data packet received through the wireless network adapter into an Ethernet-protocol data packet. A network address translation (NAT) module determines a Socket associated with a source address and a destination address of the Ethernet-protocol data packet, and sends valid data of the Ethernet-protocol data packet through the Socket. Additionally or alternatively, the NAT module encapsulates data into the Ethernet-protocol data packet after receiving the data through the Socket, and the driver module converts the Ethernet-protocol data packet into the wireless-protocol data packet, and sends the wireless-protocol data packet through the wireless network adapter.
