Abstract: A method and network node for enabling mobility measurements performed by wireless devices. A set of resource blocks are distributed across an available frequency bandwidth, and a pre-defined maximum average transmit power per resource block is available for transmission by the network node. The network node transmits (5:3A) a subset of resource blocks using a first transmit power per resource block which is higher than the pre-defined maximum average transmit power per resource block. The network node also transmits (5:3B) other resource blocks in the set not included in the subset using a second transmit power per resource block which is lower than the pre-defined maximum average transmit power per resource block so that the total transmit power used for transmitting the set of resource blocks does not exceed a total available maximum transmit power.

Abstract: In a multi-carrier wireless system, potential problems from reconfiguring mobile station resources to accommodate changes in component-carrier configuration are mitigated by inserting a guard period each time the configuration of component carriers changes, so that transceiver reconfiguration can be carried out without interfering with ongoing transmission. A base station is configured to transmit data to a mobile station according to a first configuration of two or more component carriers, to determine that a change of configuration to a second component carrier configuration is required, and to signal the change of configuration to the mobile station, using the first configuration of component carriers. The base station then refrains from transmitting data to the mobile station during a pre-determined guard interval of at least one transmission-time interval subsequent to the signaling of the change of configuration.

Abstract: In various aspects, a base station and user equipment (UE) exchange an indication of UE capabilities and a monitoring schedule for the UE to monitor an integer M frequency band partitions for a predetermined signal. The base station performs one or more successful clear carrier assessments (CCAs) on an integer N frequency band partitions of the M frequency band partitions, wherein N<M, and maps one or more downlink transmissions to only the N frequency band partitions. Based on the mapping, the base station transmits the predetermined signal on only the N frequency band partitions, followed by a downlink signal during a transmission opportunity (TXOP). The UE cycles through the M frequency band partitions while monitoring for the predetermined signal according to the monitoring schedule, detects the predetermined signal on only the integer N frequency band partitions, and tunes to receive the downlink signal during the TXOP.
