20160057745 | MOBILE STATION APPARATUS, BASE STATION APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT METHOD IN A MOBILE STATION APPARATUS, PROCESSING SECTION AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A communication system includes a terminal apparatus and a base station apparatus. The terminal apparatus communicates with a base station apparatus by carrier aggregation using a plurality of serving cells, where each of the plurality of serving cells has a different frequency. In addition, the terminal apparatus removes a measurement identity relevant to a serving cell of the plurality of serving cells based on that the serving cell was removed. | 2016-02-25 |
20160057746 | HYBRID FDD/TDD WIRELESS NETWORK - Technologies and implementations for wireless communication in a wireless network including transmitting downlink information on a first frequency channel to Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) User Equipments (UEs), transmitting downlink information on a second frequency channel during downlink portions of Time Domain Duplex (TDD) frame periods of the second frequency channel to TDD UEs, wherein the second frequency channel is the same as the frequency channel on which the FDD UEs are configured to transmit, and controlling uplink transmissions from the FDD UEs to occur only during uplink portions of TDD frame periods of the second frequency channel. | 2016-02-25 |
20160057747 | METHOD FOR HANDLING UL DATA RETRANSMISSION AND COMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS UTILIZING THE SAME - A communications apparatus includes a radio transceiver and a processor. The radio transceiver receives a plurality of feedback messages from a peer device. The feedback messages are transmitted by the peer device to indicate a result of UL data transmission. The processor analyzes content of the feedback messages to determine a preferred retransmission type of the peer device and records the preferred retransmission type of the peer device in a memory device. When the radio transceiver receives a first UL grant message indicating transmission of a first UL data and the processor determines that a forthcoming first feedback message corresponding to the transmission of the first UL data is unable to be received, the processor determines whether to retransmit the first UL data according to the preferred retransmission type of the peer device. | 2016-02-25 |
20160057748 | COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS - A communications system comprises a terminal, and network resources. The terminal is operable to transmit substantially simultaneously a data portion and a data transfer request for that data portion to the network resources. | 2016-02-25 |
20160057749 | VIRTUAL BROADBAND TRANSMITTER, VIRTUAL BROADBAND RECEIVER, AND METHODS THEREOF - A virtual broadband transmitting unit includes a stream generator to generate a multiplicity of data streams from an incoming media datastream, and a transmission manager to control the upload of the multiplicity of data streams along a multiplicity of transmission channels to at least one wireless communication network. A virtual broadband receiver includes means to receive a multiplicity of media data streams from a multiplicity of data connections, and an assembly engine to assemble the data streams into a single media stream. | 2016-02-25 |
