Abstract: Enhanced mobility for devices using a moving relay, or in a moving relay environment, may be valuable in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP). In particular, enhanced mobility procedures for user equipment (UE) can be useful with respect to a moving relay and the radio access network (RAN) interface (IF) between the user equipment and the moving relay. Thus, certain embodiments can improve the mobility procedures between moving relays and macro layer (stationary nodes, for example, eNodeBs). A method according to certain embodiments can include determining, by a user equipment, a stable average of a signal characteristic of a signal from a mobile access point. The method can also include limiting handover of the user equipment based on the stable average.

Abstract: A mechanism facilitates the establishment of connections between a wireless communication terminal belonging to a short-range wireless network and an external wireless communication device not belonging to the short-range wireless network. Virtual carrier sensing is employed to protect a connection between the wireless communication terminal and the external wireless communication device. When the connection is to be established, the wireless communication terminal sends a protection frame indicating to other members of the network that the common medium is reserved, thus protecting the link to the external wireless communication device.

Abstract: The invention relates to link establishment in a wireless communication terminal. In order to obtain flexible and low power connections between a wireless terminal belonging to a short-range wireless network and an external wireless communication device not belonging to that network, a protection frame is sent either from the wireless communication terminal or from the external wireless communication device. The protection frame includes duration information used for virtual carrier-sensing in the short-range wireless network. In response to the protection frame, data is transferred between the wireless communication terminal and the external wireless communication device during a time period indicated by the duration information.

Abstract: A system for managing the operation of a plurality of radio modules integrated within the same wireless communication device. A control strategy may be employed to manage both more predictable and more spontaneous wireless communication mediums, wherein a local controller may be employed in a radio module utilizing an unscheduled wireless medium, like WLAN, for determining whether adequate time has been allocated to complete a transaction. If the transaction cannot be completed in the allowed time, it may be delayed until adequate time exists, and the delay may be reported so that the time may be reallocated to other radio modules. The radio module may then enter a power-saving mode until the transaction can be completed.

Abstract: A system for facilitating the management of reconfigurable communication resources. These reconfigurable communication resources may include, for example, software defined radio (SDR) modules. SDR modules may comprise fixed hardware-level support for a multitude of wireless radios whose operation/protocols are defined at the software level. A variety of software-based radio definitions (e.g., radio software) may be stored on the apparatus, the radio software defining operation/protocol for one or more radios. Radios defined in the stored radio software may be individually loaded into the SDR module in order to emulate the operation (e.g., wireless communication) of corresponding hardware-based radio modules. Loading radios into, or the unloading of radios from, the SDR module may be managed based on decision criteria.
