20140185534 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST COMBINING ON AN LTE DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL - The present technology provides for an LTE system comprising a UE which is configured to perform blind HARQ combining of PDCCH messages, and an eNB which is configured with a HARQ transmission mechanism for such PDCCH messages. The PDCCH messages may be uplink or downlink grant messages, for example. In some embodiments, up to 8 messages may be combined via HARQ. Such HARQ combining may facilitate realizing a practical coverage gain. | 2014-07-03 |
20140185535 | Methods and Arrangements for Adaptive Delay Control - Logic may comprise hardware and/or code to coordinate communications of wireless communications devices. Logic coordinate communications in an access point by implementing adaptive delays. Logic may determine a delay for stations awaking from a doze state during which the station should perform clear channel assessment prior to transmitting packets on a channel. Logic may collect information about devices and/or communications within a basic service set (BSS) such as the statistics of the received packets length in time, the type of stations in the network, and/or other information available. Based upon the information collected, the logic may determine a delay and transmit the delay to devices in the BSS. Logic may receive and update the delay in memory and then implement the delay after switching to an awake state from a doze state. | 2014-07-03 |
20140185536 | Network Provisioning - Systems and methods for provisioning and managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise determining location information of one or more access points and selecting a routing device based upon the location information. Communication can be established between the one or more access points and the select routing device to define a mobility group comprising the one or more access points. | 2014-07-03 |
20140185537 | OBTAINING CONTROL CHANNEL ELEMENTS OF PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNELS FOR CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING - Methods and apparatus of a NodeB or a user equipment (UE) in communication with each other are provided. The NodeB transmits and the UE receives via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). Control Channel Elements (CCEs) corresponding to a PDCCH candidate are obtained based on n | 2014-07-03 |
20140185538 | DEVICE, METHOD, MOBILE STATION, AND DIGITAL STORAGE MEDIUM - A device, a method, a mobile station and a non-transitory computer-readable digital storage medium are provided. The device comprises a quadrant classification unit to classify a plurality of symbols in an input shared channel signal into a plurality of quadrants in a complex plane, an energy determination unit to determine a real part energy and an imaginary part energy for the plurality of symbols in each of the plurality of quadrants respectively, an energy summing unit to determine a real part energy sum E | 2014-07-03 |
20140185539 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCHEDULING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Provided is a method and apparatus for scheduling in a wireless communication system. In the method, if frame configuration information is transmitted, the frame configuration information sets each sub-frame within a frame to either a default sub-frame or a variable sub-frame and transmits scheduling information which schedules the configured variable sub-frame; and if a signal based on the scheduling information from the configured variable sub-frame is transceived, the default sub-frame becomes a sub-frame for which the transmission direction is fixed, and the configured sub-frame is used as an uplink sub-frame or a downlink sub-frame according to the scheduling information. | 2014-07-03 |
