Abstract: A technology for implementing a finer button click of a device including an LRA by reducing the falling time of an LRA after a click is implemented by controlling an input signal applied to the LRA depending on an operating characteristic of the LRA. A user's operational convenience can be improved by omitting a real button positioned in the front part of a mobile phone, and more smooth display watching and manipulation are made possible by increasing the size of a display. Furthermore, the button click of a device including an LRA can be realistically implemented by controlling only the frequency of an input signal without adding a separate device or a control circuit to the LRA.

Abstract: A method is provided for performing, by a user equipment (UE), a power headroom reporting (PHR) procedure in a wireless communication system. In a first PHR procedure, a first PHR is triggered, and it is determined that a first uplink (UL) resource cannot accommodate a PHR media access control (MAC) control element (CE) plus its subheader. The PHR MAC CE is not transmitted in the first PHR procedure and it is determined that the first PHR is not cancelled. Further, in a second PHR procedure, a second PHR is triggered, and it is determined that at least one PHR, including the first PHR and the second PHR, has been triggered and not cancelled. It is then determined that a second UL resource can accommodate a PHR MAC CE plus its subheader, and the PHR MAC CE is transmitted by using the second UL resource to an eNodeB (eNB).

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and method are provided for transmitting an in-device coexistence (IDC) indication message in a wireless communication system. The UE receives a configuration message including an IDC indication from a base station. The UE transmits an IDC indication message to the base station if the UE determines that the IDC indication contains specific information. The specific information comprises an activation bit.

The second, different surface may be an organic passivation layer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of measuring a packet throughput in a wireless communication system are provided. When determining a reference time for estimating packet throughput, a receiver determines the time that a data burst starts or ends in order to estimate the packet throughput considering a change in the data burst of the transmitter buffer. A measurement period is defined through the determined start time and end time of the data burst, and packet throughput is measured considering the total amount of the received data burst. The throughput of packet data may be estimated by each base station based on the same standard rule, so that the measured packet throughput values may be reliable, thus allowing the operator to make use of it as a parameter for MDT.
