Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a base station schedules resources for one or more machine-to-machine devices in one or more machine-to-machine groups for a periodic duration persistently. The base station allocates resource blocks for the one or more devices within the scheduled resources, and then receives data packets transmitted from the one or more devices in the allocated resource blocks. The base station may pre-allocate a control channel to be used by the one or more devices during an idle mode for a periodic duration. Uplink synchronization may be performed if one or more of the devices wakes from the idle mode, and the base station may receive data from one or more of the devices in the pre-allocated control channel.

The base station is part of wireless network that can comprise one of a Bluetooth-based standard wireless network, an IEEE 802.11-based standard wireless network, an IEEE 802.16-based standard wireless network, an IEEE 802.

Abstract: Embodiments of a high-efficiency WLAN (HEW) master station and method for communicating in a Wireless Network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the HEW master station comprises a receiver configured to receive an uplink multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmission from a plurality of scheduled HEW stations. The uplink MU-MIMO transmission may comprise at least an HEW short-training field (STF) (HEW-STF) transmitted by each of the scheduled HEW stations. The HEW-STFs received from the HEW stations are distinguishable. The master station may process the HEW-STFs received from the scheduled HEW stations to set receiver gain for reception of UL-MIMO data from the scheduled HEW stations. In some embodiments, a single automatic gain control (AGC) setting may be determined from the combined HEW-STF resulting in improved receiver performance in UL MU-MIMO.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for distributed channel access for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless network are generally described herein. User equipment (UE) may transmit a connection identifier (CID) code at a beginning of a contention window to request channel access for a D2D transmission to a receiving device. Links for D2D transmissions from a transmitting device to a receiving device are identified by a CID that is mapped to a CID code. The UE may receive a bandwidth grant from the receiving device during the contention window, along with bandwidth grants for other CIDs, in an order based on a priority level of the CID. The UE may transmit data after reception of the bandwidth grants in time-frequency resources indicated in an associated one of the bandwidth grants. In some embodiments, spatial-reuse and variable resource size allocation are supported.

A D2D UE (dUE1) that wishes so communicate to another UE (dUE2) in D2D mode makes various communications requests to an Evolved Node B (eNB), which can facilitate the connection between dUE1 and dUE2 by having the dUE1 measure the signals from dUE2 to help establish a D2D connection between the dUE1 and the dUE2.

A D2D bandwidth allocation request can be received from at least one D2D UE. Bandwidth can be scheduled for the at least one D2D UE. A D2D bandwidth allocation message can be communicated to at least one D2D UE within the D2D network to enable the at least one D2D UE to determine when bandwidth is allocated for the at least one D2D UE to communicate with another D2D UE in the D2D network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide auto-detection in wireless telecommunications. Certain embodiments provide or otherwise implement a specific sequence of bits and/or symbols for auto-detection. The specific sequence of bits can be embodied in or can include output codebits from an encoder in a communication device that can send a wireless transmission including the specific sequence. In one embodiment, the encoder can compute or otherwise generate cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) or other types of validation checks at the communication device. The specific sequence can be determined using the payload of a packet frame. Both the manner in which the specific sequence is generated and the temporal order in which the specific sequence is received relative to other payload in the packet frame can provide specificity to the sequence.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating device-to-device (D2D) communications using a high efficiency distributed channel access scheme are generally described herein. In some examples, a communication zone allocated for wireless D2D communications is divided into resource contention and scheduled transmission portions. The resource contention segment may be used to transmit a request message from a transmitting device to a receiving device (a request-to-send message), and transmit a response to the request message from the receiving device to the transmitting device (a clear-to-send message). The response can indicate a time for the data transmission to occur during the scheduled transmission segment. During the scheduled transmission segment, the scheduled data transmission and other D2D data transmissions among the various devices will be performed. In further examples, contention access techniques may be used during the resource contention segment to manage access to the resource channel.

Abstract: A technology for device to device (D2D) communication scheduling is disclosed. A D2D device can be synchronized with a base station of a cellular system. A sub-frame symbol boundary can be identified in the cellular system for the D2D communication. A resource for a D2D communication can be allocated from the D2D device to another D2D device within the sub-frame boundary of the cellular system. The D2D device can be switched to perform a D2D communication with another D2D device in proximity with the D2D device, wherein the other D2D device is substantially synchronized with the base station of the cellular system. The D2D device can communicate with the other D2D device within at least one symbol boundary time within the selected subframe.

Other embodiments are described and claimed.

The interleaver is selected according to the number of usable tones and may be selected for each resource allocation to accommodate the variance in usable tones. The selected codebit interleaver or symbol interleaver may be a block interleaver in which bits are sequentially read in row by row and read out column by column, such that any unfilled entries in the block interleaver are skipped.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, communication is made by a machine-to-machine (M2M) device with a first base station using a first group identifier, and then a handover is performed to a second base station. The M2M device listens to a message broadcast by the second base station to determine if the first group identifier should be changed. The M2M device requests assignment of a second group identifier for communication with the second base station if it is determined that the group identifier should be changed for the M2M device. In some embodiments, the M2M device wake from an idle mode to listen to a message broadcast by the base station. If the message indicates that a group identifier should be changed, the M2M device requests assignment of an updated group identifier.
