Abstract: Various solutions for handling compression error with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may transmit a compressed protocol data unit (PDU) to a network node. The apparatus may receive a negative acknowledgement (NACK) message from the network node. The apparatus may restore a compressed service data unit (SDU) to original data. The apparatus may transmit the original data with an uncompressed format to the network node.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for packet header compression. The method can include receiving a packet in a communication device having resources for packet compression, parsing a header of the packet to obtain header information, and determining whether to compress the header of the packet based on the header information and status of the resources for packet compression in the communication device.

Abstract: A fast device discovery protocol with a high success rate for device-to-device (D2D) communication in LTE-A networks is proposed. With the proposed protocol, device discovery is done by monitoring a randomly transmitted beacon from other devices within a pre-defined period. In one embodiment, an eNB receives scheduling requests from D2D UEs and in response allocates a distributed uplink resource for random access of beacon transmission by the D2D UEs. The distributed resource is dynamically allocated based on the number of requesting D2D UEs, a discovery period, and a target discovery probability to minimize the required resource.
