Abstract: A system and method for BT device management are disclosed. An end user application and a desktop BT device management application running on a VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) session of a remote desktop are provided. A processor transmits a first command from the VDI session to an operating system running on a BT thin client device and scans all available BT thin client devices that are in pairing mode. The BT thin client devices that are in pairing mode are displayed on a window of the remote desktop. A user input is received to select a desired BT thin client device from the available BT thin client devices. The processor transmits a second command from the operating system running on the BT thin client device to a BT dongle attached to the BT thin client device to pair the selected BT thin client device to the remote desktop.

Abstract: A system and method of scheduling transmissions. A wireless device such as an eNodeB (eNB) may schedule a transmission of a wideband (WB) signal on a micro-frame selected from a plurality of WB micro-frames of a WB carrier. A narrowband (NB) subframe may span a portion of the selected WB micro-frame in the frequency-domain, and the selected WB micro-frame may overlap at least a portion of the NB subframe in the time-domain. The WB signal and an NB signal may be transmitted over the WB micro-frame and the NB subframe in accordance with a first numerology and a second numerology, respectively. A WB subframe may be divided into a plurality of micro-frames. The transmission direction of the WB micro-frame may be scheduled according to a transmission rule based on the contents of a payload in the NB subframe.

Abstract: A communication method is provided, which includes that: in response to detecting a first signal of a second device, a first device determines a signal strength between the first device and the second device; and in response to that the signal strength reaches a preset signal strength threshold, the first device establishes a connection with the second device. Another communication method is also provided, which includes that: a second device broadcasts a first signal; and the second device establishes a connection with a first device in response to a connection request triggered by that a signal strength between the first device and the second device reaches a preset signal strength threshold.

Abstract: In dense Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) deployments, Access Points (APs) in other Extended Service Sets (ESSs) can be hidden (a first AP does not receive signals from a third AP). However, these APs in other ESSs can still interfere with communications between the third AP and the devices communicating with the first AP. To improve service to that device in that situation, the first AP needs information about the third AP in the first AP's decision making processes. In these situations, a second AP, in contact with the third AP, can share information about the third AP with the first AP so that the first AP can avoid colliding with the third AP.

The OCB service information may be communicated in an OCB operation information element (IE) including a service hash field and an operating class and channel field.

In one aspect, a fixed user equipment (UE) can be configured with dual connectivity (DC) and a network operator can offer different tiers of services based on a location of the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may monitor a downlink transmission for control information during a set of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions. The UE may determine a first configuration for the set of PDCCH monitoring occasions during a slot of the downlink transmission and a threshold number of PDCCH candidates and/or a threshold number of non-overlapping CCEs within the slot. In some cases, the UE may also determine a threshold number of PDCCH candidates and/or non-overlapping control channel elements (CCEs) within a single PDCCH monitoring occasion. The threshold number of PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs may be fixed, based on the number of PDCCH monitoring occasions during the slot, based on a processing capability of the UE, or a combination thereof. The UE may decode control information contained in one or more of the PDCCH monitoring occasions.
