Abstract: A radio terminal (1) selects, from a resource pool in a discovery period, NTX subframes for NTX times of transmission of a discovery signal in the discovery period based on a first value n1 of a resource value autonomously selected by the radio terminal (1) or a first value n1 of a parameter received from a base station (2). The NTX subframes selected based on the value n1 are selected so as to share at least one common subframe with NTX subframes selected based on a second value, different from the first value n1, and so as to include at least one subframe different from any of the NTX subframes selected based on the second value. It is thus, for example, possible to attenuate decline in reception quality of a discovery signal due to interference resulting from In-Band Emissions (IBE) when direct discovery of D2D communication is performed.

Abstract: A device communicates with a terminal in association with at least a first other device, using at least two carriers, wherein at least a first carrier towards the terminal is established from the device and at least a second carrier is established towards the terminal from the first other device. The device receives a report indicative of a connection quality of the first carrier, responsive thereto issues a request for handover of the first carrier towards a second device, sends relocation information in relation to the first carrier towards the first other device, and only after sending that relocation information, commands the terminal to perform a handover of the first carrier to the second device. Such device, in cooperation with other devices, accomplishes an optimized handover in terms of a primary component carrier relocation from a serving eNB towards a target eNB, while a secondary component carrier is maintained.

Abstract: A gateway turns encrypted PS data traffic on the Iub interface into clear IP packets so that WAN stream de-duplication and other optimization can be performed to eliminate the transfer of repetitive data across the Iub interface, thereby increasing the throughput between the NodeB and the RNC of the WCDMA network. The gateway pulls PS data traffic out from Iub without disturbing the signaling and CS traffic. The bifurcated PS data traffic is redirected to the GTP I/O port of the gateway where the stream de-duplication is applied. Deployment of the gateway is transparent to the WCDMA network. No network reconfiguration is required to deploy the gateway on the Iub interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A mobile device may be scheduled for resources of multiple transmission time intervals (TTIs) with a downlink control message; some or all of the multiple TTIs may be associated with different hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes. Each TTI may include data mapped to one transport block (TB), and each TB may be associated with a separate HARQ process. The downlink control message may include an indication of which HARQ processes are associated with resources of the multiple TTIs scheduled by the message. For example, the downlink control message may include a mapping (e.g., a bitmap) that indicates a relationship between each HARQ process and each TTI scheduled by the message. Feedback for TBs of some TTIs may differ, and an acknowledgment of receipt or successful decoding may depend on timing of TTIs in relation to a control message.
