20150304910 | NEIGHBOUR CELL MEASUREMENTS - An efficient way is described for a user equipment, camping on a cell of a first radio access technology, RAT, to perform measurements on the transmissions from a neighbouring radio cell of a different RAT. Recurrent time gaps that are available for making the measurements are not correlated or synchronized with the recurrent times at which the desired information are transmitted by the transmitter in the second RAT. Therefore, mapping is performed of the time gaps onto the interval at which the desired information is transmitted. The mapping continues until a time interval is covered that ensures that the information in the recurring desired block of information can be obtained. During the mapping of the measurement gaps, only those time intervals that have not already been covered by the mapping are used for obtaining the desired information. | 2015-10-22 |

20150305005 | DERIVING AN INDICATION OF A COMMUNICATIONS PARAMETER USING REFERENCE SYMBOLS - A perturbation is made to contents and/or locations in time and frequency of Reference Signals transmitted by a cell, such that the perturbation implies information regarding a capability or configuration of the cell as regards availability or configuration of a network functionality, in particular a facility to offer a narrowband virtual carrier operation. The contents and/or locations in time and frequency of the reference signals used are typically based on physical cell identity. In certain embodiments the PCI carried by some identifiable RS resources is changed, in others, the RS is transmitted in unexpected resources. The network functionality configuration information is inferred from various relationships between these transmissions and the cell's actual PCI and/or expected RS transmission resources. | 2015-10-22 |
20150305006 | AT LEAST ONE MECHANISM TO PERMIT, AT LEAST IN PART, ALLOCATION AND/OR CONFIGURATION, AT LEAST IN PART, OF AT LEAST ONE NETWORK-ASSOCIATED OBJECT - In an embodiment, at least one interface mechanism may be provided. The mechanism may permit, at least in part, at least one process allocate, at least in part, and/or configure, at least in part, at least one network-associated object. Such allocation and/or configuration, at least in part, may be in accordance with at least one parameter set that may correspond, at least in part, to at least one query issued by the at least one process via the mechanism. Many modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment. | 2015-10-22 |

20150305008 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UPDATING INFORMATION REGARDING SPECIFIC RESOURCE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - The method for updating bootstrap information regarding a specific resource in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention is performed by a terminal, and comprises the steps of: receiving, from a server, a specific operation instruction for an object instance of the terminal or a resource that belongs to the object instance; and executing, if the specific operation instruction is received through a specific interface, the specific operation instruction regardless of whether the target for the specific operation instruction exists within the terminal. | 2015-10-22 |
20150305009 | Methods and Systems for Dynamic Spectrum Arbitrage User Profile Management - A dynamic spectrum arbitrage (DSA) system includes a home subscriber server (HSS), a mobility management entity (MME), an eNodeB, a dynamic spectrum controller (DSC), and a dynamic spectrum policy controller (DPC). The DSC may receive resource allocation information from the DPC, and send updated information and instructions to the HSS. The HSS may be configured to receive information from the DSC, detect changes to HSS subscription information (e.g., user profile information), determine whether the changes affect the information managed/stored by an MME component, and send the detected changes to the MME component when the HSS determines that the changes affect the information managed/stored by the MME. The MME component may use the information included in the received messages to add, remove, or modify the MME's stored subscription information or user profile information. The MME component may then communicate these updates, additions, or changes to the HSS component. | 2015-10-22 |
