  • Patent number: 9756676
    Abstract: A base station and a device to device (D2D) user equipment (UE), a transmission method, a report method and a resource adjustment method for a wireless communication system are provided. When the D2D UE operates as a transmitting end, it is able to determine a transmission mode according to a transmission condition (e.g., whether a radio link failure or a collision occurs when a D2D transmission is being performed, or whether the telecommunication operators of the transmitting end and the corresponding receiving end are the same). When the D2D UE operates as a receiving end, it is able to transmit a report message carrying received signal quality to the base station after receiving D2D data. Accordingly, the base station is able to adjust a D2D resource configuration according to the report message.

  • Patent number: 9295090
    Abstract: A direct-mode communication system comprises a first client direct-mode communication apparatus and a backhaul network. The first client direct-mode communication apparatus transmits a register signal to the backhaul network to register with the backhaul network. After the first client direct-mode communication apparatus is registered, the backhaul network determines a location relationship between the first client direct-mode communication apparatus and a second client direct-mode communication apparatus. The backhaul network transmits a piece of wi-fi connection information to the first client direct-mode communication apparatus according to the location relationship. The first client direct-mode communication apparatus creates a wi-fi direct-mode communication connection with the second client direct-mode communication apparatus according to the piece of wi-fi connection information.

  • Publication number: 20110130142
    Abstract: A femtocell, a base station, a femto gateway, and communication methods thereof are provided. The femtocell is connected to the femto gateway via the base station. The femtocell turns off its RF transceiver when the RF transceiver is idle for a predetermined time interval. When the base station determines that a mobile station enters its signal coverage, the base station transmits a notification signal to the femto gateway. After receiving the notification signal, the femto gateway transmits a turn-on signal to the femtocell via the base station. After receiving the turn-on signal, the femtocell turns on its RF transceiver and transmits an acknowledgement signal to the femto gateway. Since the femtocell only turns on its RF transceiver when a mobile station needs its service, the femtocell consumes less power. In addition, interferences between femtocells can be reduced.
