Abstract: Channel state determination is performed at a user equipment (UE) of a mobile network. The UE determines one or a plurality of time intervals that may be used for channel measurements, performs a plurality of signal power measurements associated each to one of the time intervals to be used for channel measurement and generates a channel state information as a function of the plurality of the signal power measurements. Information comprising an indication of a plurality of time intervals that may be used for received signal power measurements is generated and sent from an access node (eNB) to the UE. The eNB evaluates a measurement report, received from the UE, that comprises received signal power measurements associated each to one of the time intervals.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for Embodiments described herein provide for the use of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and/or other techniques for network-implemented spam call detection. Calls may be screened prior to notifying a called User Equipment (“UE”) that a call has been placed to the called UE. A Machine Learning Spam Detection Component (“MLSDC”) may screen a call, such as a voice call, by initiating a call session between the MLSDC and a calling UE, from which the call was requested. Via the established call session, the MLSDC may receive communications, such as voice communications, from the UE, and may determine a measure of likelihood that the call request is associated with spam by using machine learning or other techniques to compare the received communications against one or more models that indicate attributes of calls that have been identified as spam.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) power control parameter h(nCQI,nHARQ) for two Carrier Aggregated (CA) PUCCH formats—PUCCH format 3 and channel selection. The value of h(nCQI,nHARQ) may be based on only a linear function of nHARQ for both of the CA PUCCH formats. Based on the CA PUCCH format configured for the User Equipment (UE), the e-Node B (eNB) may instruct the UE to select or apply a specific linear function of nHARQ as a value for the power control parameter h(nCQI,nHARQ), so as to enable the UE to more accurately establish transmit power of its PUCCH signal. Values for another PUCCH power control parameter—?F_PUCCH(F)—are also provided for use with PUCCH format 3. A new offset parameter may be signaled for each PUCCH format that has transmit diversity configured.
