Abstract: A network controlling entity in a heterogeneous or local area network (such as a macro eNB) selects a set of network access nodes that share a common wake-up area code WUAC. The network controlling entity selects a transmission entity such as a motile terminal/UE and directs it to wirelessly transmit a signal on a given radio resource. The network controlling entity also informs each network access node within the set of the given radio resource on which they should listen for the signal. In various embodiments the network access nodes within the set can choose whether or not to listen for the signal and thus choose whether they will wakeup, or they can reply to the signal with a request for wakeup confirmation. In this manner WUAC-specific sets of small cells can be awakened only when needed for traffic offloading and thereby saving energy.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network receives a message from a neighboring device that identifies the electrical phase on which the message was sent. Crosstalk is identified between the device and the neighboring device by determining that the message was received on a different electrical phase than the phase on which the message was sent. One or more distinct communication channels between the device and the neighboring device are identified based on the identified crosstalk with each communication channel including or more electrical phases.

Abstract: A network sends data blocks in a first/n1h radio frame having a first configuration of uplink to downlink transmission time intervals TTIs. Each of these data blocks originate a separate hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ process. The network then frequency or spatially mutliplexes first re-transmissions of at least two of the data blocks in at least one TTI of a sequentially next second/(n+1)st radio frame having a different second configuration of uplink to downlink TTIs. If necessary second re-transmissions of the HARQ processes can also be similarly multiplexed in a TTI of a third/(n+2)nd radio frame sequentially next after the second/(n+1)st frame. In the examples, if frequency domain multiplexing the frequency mutliplexed first re-transmissions are separately scheduled; or if spatial domain multiplexing the spatially mutliplexed first re-transmissions are scheduled with a single physical downlink control channel PDCCH.
