  • Patent number: 10687271
    Abstract: A network accessing method includes selecting a group representative dynamically from each machine to machine (M2M) terminal group, wherein terminals in the M2M terminal group not selected as the group representative serve as group members. The method also includes requesting, by the group representative, network access from a base station, and serving, as a group member automatically after entering an idle state or entering another cell. This enables multiple M2M terminals to access a network at the same time while avoiding network access congestion.

  • Patent number: 9337963
    Abstract: A transmission method for multi-antenna retransmission is provided, comprising steps of: generating the bits to be transmitted by respective antennas; mapping the bits to be transmitted by the respective antennas into symbols; and multiplying by a constant the vector constituted by the mapped symbols transmitted by multiple antennas, wherein the resulting vector is orthogonal to the matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by multiple antennas, and transmitting the orthogonal symbols. According to the method of the present invention, the remapped symbols transmitted by the respective antennas and the symbols previously transmitted by the respective antennas constitute a matrix that has an orthogonal property. The orthogonal property can be used to effectively detect signals. In addition, the method has a reception algorithm with low complexity and brings about significant performance gains over conventional methods.

  • Patent number: 9338799
    Abstract: A method for random access of Machine to Machine (M2M) terminals is applied to a plurality of M2M terminals. The method includes dividing the plurality of M2M terminals into at least one terminal group, and allocating an identifier for each terminal group. After receiving the paging broadcast signaling transmitted by the base station, an M2M terminal in a terminal group determines whether the terminal group identifier carried in the paging broadcast signaling is the identifier of the terminal group that includes the M2M terminal. If true, the M2M terminal starts a random access process. A base station transmits a paging broadcast signaling on the basis of a terminal group rather than issuing a paging broadcast signaling only to individual M2M terminals so that a plurality of M2M terminals can be randomly accessed smoothly and efficiently without causing network access congestion nor affecting the use of public network users.

  • Patent number: 9155061
    Abstract: A method for positioning a Mobile Station (MS) is provided. The method includes transmitting, by a serving base station of a MS, indication information of a Location Based Services (LBS) zone to the MS receiving, by the MS according to the indication information, a reference signal used for positioning the MS in the LBS zone from a base station of a neighboring cell, wherein the LBS zone is multiplexed with a control information field in N downlink subframes, or with the control information field and a data field in the N downlink subframes, and wherein N is larger than or equal to 1. In the case of restraining interference of a serving cell signal to a neighboring cell signal, the requirements of system resource allocation and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) timing synchronization can also be satisfied.
