Abstract: Methods for allocating uplink resources between UEs wherein previously allocated uplink resources may be allocated to a further UE and a suspension indication transmitted to the UE to which the resources were previously allocated. The methods including transmitting an indication from a base station to a UE indicating grant of a set of resources for an uplink transmission, and transmitting a DCI including a suspension indication.

Abstract: A method for performing location functions in a wireless communications using user equipment devices which communicate using a sidelink communication link is provided. Information may be transmitted from a transmit user equipment to a receive user equipment, and the information may be utilised to establish a locality of the transmit user equipment. If it is determined that the transmit user locality coincides with a communication area of the receive user equipment HARQ feedback may be enabled.

Abstract: Methods for instructing and communicating measurements of neighbouring cells in a cellular communication network. Mobile devices may be instructed to take measurements using a broadcast or dedicated measurement instruction. The instruction may include white and black lists to define which cells a mobile device should report on.

Abstract: A pedestrian-located UE monitors selected subframes of a sidelink resource to detect periodic transmissions from other mobile devices to assist it in selecting a free resource for its own sidelink transmissions. The subframe selection is based on a cost metric which takes into account a probability of missing detection of a transmission with periodicity p from another mobile device, an average number of transmissions with periodicity p that are expected from another mobile device within a predefined transmission period of the mobile device, and a number of transmission cycles of the mobile device that need to occur in order to have a single potential collision with each periodic transmission from said at least one other wireless communication. The method provides a trade-off between avoiding future collisions and battery life.

Abstract: There is provided a method of building a Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process set. The method comprises adding each new sequence of HARQ processes to a group of all the HARQ process sequences, and iterating the adding step Ji times for each possible number of Transport Blocks to be transmitted. Each HARQ process sequence may be correlated to a bit sequence which may transmitted in a DCI message to request re-transmission of certain TBs corresponding to the sequence numbers.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication using half duplex frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) comprises, at a wireless communications device, receiving downlink data during a plurality of downlink subframes and transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) on an uplink. The HARQ-ACK relates to downlink data received during at least two of the plurality of downlink subframes and the HARQ-ACK is transmitted during one uplink subframe.

Abstract: A method for configuring downlink multi-user transmission in a telecommunication network is provided. The method comprises receiving, at a first User Equipment (UE), data within a subframe wherein the data comprises a dynamic indicator; determining, by the first UE based on the received dynamic indicator, if the data within the subframe is for multi-user transmission, and if not so determined, using, by the first UE, a single-user receiver to decode the received data; and if so determined, identifying, by the first UE based on the dynamic indicator, at least one second UE that is paired with the first UE in multi-user transmission, and obtaining, by the first UE DCI information of said at least one second UE.

Abstract: It may be beneficial to revert from the production volume V to the production snapshot S. Traditional approaches required a full sweep of production volume data when reverting to a snapshot (i.e., reinitialize all data, mark all data as dirty and start replicating to update the replication volume V? to what the production volume V stores (i.e., the former production snapshot S). However, example embodiments of the present invention provide for reverting from a production volume to a snapshot without requiring a full sweep of data in the production volume. Rather, example embodiments of the present invention stop replication of the production volume, notify a splitter of dirty location in the snapshot, synchronize the dirty locations with the replication volume and resume replication to the snapshot, thereby performing a minimal initialization.
