Abstract: A method and system for controlling carrier use to help manage uplink noise. A base station detects threshold high uplink noise on a carrier, and the base station responsively configures itself to prevent the carrier from being added as a secondary carrier for carrier-aggregation service, though the base station still allows establishment of new radio-link-layer connectivity encompassing the carrier as a primary serving carrier.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A transmitter may receive feedback that a station failed to decode a packet sent over a first channel, and the transmitter may determine to re-send the packet or to send parity bits over the first channel or over a second channel to assist in decoding the failed packet. The first channel may be in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum, and the second channel may be in a licensed radio frequency spectrum and may have a higher reliability level compared to the first channel. The transmitter may determine a first channel degradation level, which may be based on a signal-to-noise ratio received from the station, and may determine an amount of parity bits to send based on the degradation. The transmitter may determine the reliability level of each channel, which may be based on a channel quality indicator.

Abstract: The terminal supporting the public safety service based on the evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS) service needs to reselect a frequency providing the eMBMS service in the idle mode. The terminal may be configured to: receive a connection release message including priority information on frequencies for cell reselection; determine whether the terminal is in the idle mode; and perform, if the terminal is in the idle mode, cell reselection by selecting a cell to camp on based on the priority information. Here, the priority information may be configured so that the highest priority is assigned to the MBMS serving frequency used by the terminal to receive the MBMS service. In this way, the terminal supporting the public safety service may continuously receive the public safety service by selecting the current frequency during cell reselection.
