Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration message configuring the UE to communicate coordinated transmissions with multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) using a first coordinated transmission mode of a set of different coordinated transmission modes. The UE may receive, based on the configuration message, downlink control information including at least one indicator and receive a first coordinated transmission communicated in accordance with the first coordinated transmission mode. The UE may transmit, in accordance with a feedback configuration corresponding to the at least one indicator and the first coordinated transmission mode, a feedback message for the first coordinated transmission to at least one of the multiple TRPs.

Abstract: An approach to localizing a mobile device takes advantage of the device reporting the order of its neighboring base stations (BSs) according to the received power of the pilot signals. Based on the received BS order, the agent is located within the intersection of corresponding higher-order Voronoi cells. Assuming that the BSs are deployed according to a Poisson point process (PPP) and that signals are subject to log-normal shadowing, the tradeoff between the ALR and the localization error probability can be characterized. It is shown that increasing the number of reported BSs generally reduces the ALR and improves the localization accuracy at the expense of increasing the localization error.

Abstract: A first citizens broadband radio service device (CBSD), which is part of a first cluster of CBSDs, determines total needed spectrum for the first cluster, based on a determination of its own spectrum needs and received information from other CBSDs in the cluster communicating their determined spectrum needs. The first CBSD communications the total spectrum needs for the first cluster to a spectrum access system (SAS). The first CSBD receives a spectrum allocation for the first cluster from the SAS, which allocates spectrum on a per cluster basis. The first CSBD selects a first portion of spectrum for itself from the received allocation and communicates the SAS first cluster spectrum allocation and the first CSBD selected first portion of spectrum to a second CBSD in the cluster. The second CBSD determines the remaining spectrum of the SAS allocation and selects a second portion of spectrum from remaining spectrum for itself.

A DCI is received that comprises: a HARQ process number field comprising first bit(s); and a redundancy version field comprising second bit(s). A determination is made whether a first value of the first bit(s) indicates a configuration index of the uplink configured grant configuration. A determination is made that the DCI is a valid activation DCI or a valid release DCI: based on the second bit(s) and not based on the first bit(s) in response to the first value indicating the configuration index; and based on the second bit(s) and the first bit(s) in response to the first value not indicating the configuration index. A plurality of resources, associated with the uplink configured grant configuration, are activated or deactivated.

Abstract: An LTE base station may receive a release command for a voice bearer carrying an IMS voice communication of a user device. The release command may be provided by a core network following a termination of the IMS voice communication. The LTE base station may initiate timer for a predetermined time period following in response to the voice bearer release command. When the LTE base station is carrying an active data bearer for data traffic of the user device at an end of the predetermined time period, the LTE base station may direct the user device to switch from the LTE base station to a 5G base station of the wireless carrier network. When the LTE base station is not carrying any active data bearer for the data traffic at the end of the predetermined time period, the LTE base station may place the user device into an idle state.

Abstract: The present invention enables a network operator to select a gateway that provides desirable operational parameters to access a network node function in a network node requested by a client. A network service provider detects what service a client device is requesting or using and selects a gateway (e.g. PDN-GW) to deliver the service. The client device is signaled to make a new connection to the network using the selected gateway, e.g. by connecting to the APN associated with the PDN-GW that delivers the service.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting SMP connectivity checks across virtual router in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, SMA model enhancements allow for the possibility to send a packet (i.e., SMP) that is addressed to a local router port. The SMA where the packet is addressed can receive the packet, and then apply a new attribute that defines that the requested information is on a remote node (e.g., connected by a physical link across subnets). In accordance with an embodiment, the SMA can operate as a proxy (receives a SMP and sends another request), or the SMA can modify the original packet and send it on as an inter-subnet packet.

Abstract: Techniques for using sending communication data using a first communication system and a second communication system are described. When a request is received to send communication data, it is determined that sending the communication data includes the second communication system. A request for updated identification information, such as a security token, is therefore sent to the second communication system prior to, for example, determining further account information related to the initiator of the communication and/or an identity of a recipient of the communication. While the request is pending, additional requests for the identification information are delayed. When the new identification information is received, the communication data is sent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new structure of a control channel region within a sub-frame of a 3GPP-based based communication system using OFDM in the downlink. This new structure of a control channel region is inter alia particularly suitable for conveying physical downlink control channel information from a donor eNodeB to a relay node. The control channel region is divided in CCEs that have equal size irrespective of the presence of further cell-specific and/or UE-specific reference signals within the control channel region. This is achieved by dividing the control channel region in plural sub-CCEs that are combined to CCEs all having equal size (in terms of resource elements that can be used for the signaling of control information). The control channel region is divided in the frequency domain and/or time domain in a FDM respectively TDM fashion in order to obtain the sub-CCEs.

Abstract: To control content delivery to plural clients of a mobile communication network, a network entity of the mobile communication network collects geo information of the plural clients and evaluates the collected geo information of the plural clients based on a rule to determine whether the content delivery is to be adapted. The network entity identifies a region for which the content delivery is to be adapted. The network entity selectively outputs a message to a controlling entity if it is determined that the content delivery is to be adapted. The controlling entity controls the content delivery in response to receiving the message, to adapt the content delivery for clients located in the identified region.
