Patent number: 9930581Abstract: Systems and techniques for link failure management in multiple connection systems. Upon detection of a link failure with a local area base station during a dual connection mode in which the user device is connected to a macro base station and a local area base station, a user device sends a failure indication and a measurement results report for serving and neighboring base stations to its serving macro base station, and selects a response to the failure based at least in part on evaluation information received from the macro base station. Upon detection of a link failure with a macro base station, the user device determines whether to reconnect to the macro base station or a different macro base station and whether to reconnect with the original local area base station or a different local area base station.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2013Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte.

Patent number: 9426682Abstract: The present application relates generally to use of radio resources in a radio access network (RAN) and, in more specific, Full-Duplex (FD) transmission on the same carrier. Due to the mobility of the UEs or the non-optimal grouping, two UEs belonging to different groups may be close to each other while performing transmission and cause serious transmission interferences to 5 each other. This is one of the problems which a method in accordance with the invention aims to solve. When the performing the method a RAN triggers a UE to measure 601 first interferences originated from a first group of UEs. Then the RAN triggers the same UE to measure 602 second interferences originated from a second group of the UEs. Finally, the RAN places 603 the UE into the first group, if the first interferences are higher than the second interferences. The both 10 groups of the UEs are composed of such user equipments which share a group-specific transmission pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2012Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Pengfei Sun, Xinying Gao, Haiming Wang, Chunyan Gao

Publication number: 20150305065Abstract: A new random access procedure is introduced that does not use a timing advance for the uplink timing but instead uses the downlink timing for uplink timing. This is particularly viable when the propagation delay is short, for example with local area cells having a coverage range less than some predetermined threshold. From the mobile terminal's perspective it obtains downlink timing for a cell, transmits a scheduling request SR in a contention-based uplink resource, and in response to receiving an uplink resource allocation it transmits in the allocated uplink resource using the downlink timing. The terminal can get the configuration for that contention-based uplink resource from system information. From the uplink resource the terminal and network determines a SR-RNTI, which the network uses to address the uplink resource allocation and the terminal uses to find a pre-defined search space in which to look for that uplink resource allocation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2012Publication date: October 22, 2015Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Wei BAI, Jukka Tapio RANTA, Pengfei SUN, Haiming WANG, Xinying GAO, Lili ZHANG, Jing HAN
