The method further includes determining a maximum power reduction value of the multi-cluster transmission based on the corresponding spectral regions. | 2014-04-03 |
20140092839 | METHOD OF PROVIDING HARQ FEEDBACK INFORMATION - In a wireless communication system where a terminal and a base station communicate with each other using a frame including at least one downlink sub-frame and at least one uplink sub-frame, the terminal and the base station calculate the number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback regions of the downlink sub-frames and the uplink sub-frames in accordance with a third value corresponding to an absolute value of subtraction between a first value corresponding to the number of downlink sub-frames of the frame and a second value corresponding to the number of uplink sub-frames of the frame or the sum of the first value and the second value and configure HARQ feedback regions in the downlink sub-frames and the uplink sub-frames. | 2014-04-03 |

20140092841 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND MOBILE DEVICE FOR CALL SWITCHING SERVICE - A method, system and device for call switching between a mobile device using a mobile communication network and any data communication equipment using other type of communication network without any disconnection of a on ongoing call is provided. In a method for a call switching service, the first and second mobile devices establish wireless communication channels with the mobile communication network, respectively. The first mobile device transfers a call to specific data communication equipment. The mobile communication network establishes a call channel between the specific data communication equipment to which the call is transferred and the second mobile device that is not transferring the call to the specific data communication equipment. | 2014-04-03 |
20140092842 | METHOD OF PERFORMING RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method includes transmitting a random access preamble, receiving a random access response as a response of the random access preamble, wherein the random access response comprises an uplink resource assignment and a request for transmission of a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), and transmitting the CQI in the uplink resource assignment. | 2014-04-03 |
