Abstract: Methods and apparatus for resolving incomplete message content in networks. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to correction and recovery of incomplete measurement report configuration messages within a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. Specifically, within certain LTE networks, existing messaging may be incomplete in regards to various nearby ancillary networks, but still sufficient with regards to measurement requirements of the LTE network itself. Since the mobile device can continue operation within the LTE network, the mobile device can safely ignore or correct the measurement report configuration message.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for improved power control in communications (such as connection establishment) in a wireless network. In one embodiment, a data-based, iterative approach is used to select an appropriate transmission power level during the establishment of a wireless connection. An assessment of the quality of the channel between a connecting device and target device is made, based on a received reference signal from the target device. The assessment is used to select an initial power level for a random access request. In the case a response is not received, a subsequent assessment of the channel quality is made. If the quality of the channel has changed, then a second power level for a second random access request is selected. This approach allows the connecting device to adapt to changing conditions related to the channel quality, and adjust its transmission power level accordingly.
