Abstract: Information on one or more networks in which a communication apparatus has participated before and information on one or more external apparatuses to which the communication apparatus has been connected before are held. Information on a first network previously formed by the communication device and information on a second network previously formed by an external access point are held such that the information on the first network and the information on the second network are identifiable. If it is judged that there is not a network corresponding to the held information on the second network, it is determined to use a network based on the held information on the first network.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for communicating short messages from a first device, e.g., a femto cell device or peer to peer device, over communications resources which are being used by an OFDM macro network, e.g., cellular network, are described. The signal goes on top of, e.g., is transmitted on the same communications resource(s), on which a macro signal, e.g. a downlink signal from a cellular base station, is transmitted.

However, the signals transmitted by the femto cell devices and/or peer to peer devices are designed so that they cause little interference to the macro base station in terms of overall throughput and/or with the macro base station's ability to communicate control and/or pilot information.

Abstract: According to the present invention, one or more PDCCH-SFs are set from among subframes in a predetermined duration so as to force user equipment (UE) to perform a PDCCH blind decoding (BD). Information indicating said set PDCCH-SF is provided to the UE from a base station (BS). The UE performs the PDCCH BD only in the PDCCH-SF which is set to the UE itself, and not to all subframes, and performs HARQ process(es) according to the PDCCH BD. The present invention exhibits the advantages of reducing the number of BDs which the UE has to perform and of reducing the implementation complexity of the UE.

Abstract: A system including an edge router which collects data from a mesh network by receiving on multiple simultaneous frequencies. Using N simultaneous frequencies increases the throughput of a system by up to N-times, reducing the bottleneck that otherwise occurs at the take-out-point of a mesh communications system. Furthermore, nodes in direct communication with the edge router can send each data packet multiple times on multiple frequencies, increasing the probability that the packet is delivered correctly, eliminating the necessity to acknowledge (ACK) each packet. This further enhances system throughput.

Abstract: A base station receives channel state information corresponding to each of spare coordinated groups from each of user devices. A first group includes a plurality of coordinated groups arranged in advance. The spare coordinated groups corresponding to each user device are such as selected from the first group and include at least a service sector of best channel quality obtained measurement by the user device. The base station specifies a user device group corresponding to each of coordinated groups contained in each of coordinated group patterns. The user device group corresponding to the coordinated group is formed of user devices having the coordinated group in their spare coordinated groups. The base station uses channel state information reported from the user devices of the user device group corresponding to the coordinated group as a basis to perform user scheduling on the coordinated group.

Abstract: A misplaced user device deactivates processors and other resources so as to conserve residual battery power, while a radio frequency (RF) circuit remains active. The RF circuit transmits a beacon signal at time intervals to aid a user in locating and recovery of the misplaced user device by way of another user device operating in search mode. Information regarding the identity or other characteristics of the misplaced user device may be encoded in the beacon signal to assist in the search. The misplaced user device may modify the beacon signaling RF power, time intervals, information, or other parameters in response to an acknowledgement signal received from the searching user device.
