A method includes receiving a higher layer message including reservation information for time domain network resources available for communicating with the plurality of wireless communication protocols; receiving a dynamically signaled message including a reservation indicator of a reservation status of a time domain network resource from the time domain network resources for communicating using a wireless communication protocol; and communicating using machine to machine communications over the wireless communication protocol, the communicating occurring over an available time domain network resource from the time domain network resources.

Methods and apparatus for resource reservation in narrowband Internet of Things communications

A method includes determining a first subframe on which to transmit a first downlink control information (DCI) message and determining a second subframe on which to transmit a first information. The method also includes determining a delay between the first subframe and the second subframe and transmitting, by a communications controller to a user equipment (UE), the second subframe in accordance with the delay.

System and method for delay scheduling

A method for operating a communications controller includes selecting a search space configuration out of a set of candidate search space configurations for a user equipment served by the communications controller, wherein the search space configuration specifies one or more search spaces to be monitored out of a set of search spaces, and signaling the selected search space configuration to the user equipment.

System and method for common control channels in a communications system

A method includes performing sensing to determine resources for a sidelink transmission between a first device and a second device; obtaining channel information associated with a first subset of the resources; generating resource selection probabilities for a second subset of the resources, the resource selection probabilities being generated in accordance with the channel information and sensing information derived from the sensing; selecting a resource from the resources in accordance with the resource selection probabilities, the resource being used for the sidelink transmission; and transmitting, to the second device, the sidelink transmission over the selected resource.

Methods and apparatus for resource selection

User Equipments (UEs) may be assigned a set of aggregated component carriers for downlink carrier aggregation and/or carrier selection. Some UEs may be incapable of transmitting uplink signals over all component carriers in their assigned set of aggregated component carriers. In such scenarios, a UE may need to perform SRS switching in order to transmit SRS symbols over all of the component carriers. Embodiments of this disclosure provide various techniques for facilitating SRS switching. For example, a radio resource control (RRC) message may be used to signal a periodic SRS configuration parameter. As another example, a downlink control indication (DCI) message may be used to signal an aperiodic SRS configuration parameter. Many other examples are also provided.

System and method for SRS switching, transmission, and enhancements

In a control information transmission method according to present disclosure, a user equipment acquires configuration information of an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) set. The user equipment determines, according to the configuration information and from the EPDCCH set, at least one EPDCCH set in which an EPDCCH needs to be monitored. The user equipment monitors an EPDCCH on a resource corresponding to the at least one EPDCCH set, to acquire control information sent by a base station.

Control information transmission method, user equipment, and base station

Embodiments disclose an information acquiring method. The method includes sending indicating information, where the indicating information indicates a resource set used for sending initial information, and the initial information comprises a master information block (MIB); and determining, according to the resource set used for sending initial information, a resource used for sending non-initial information, wherein the non-initial information comprises information carried over a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and the resource used for sending the non-initial information does not overlap with the resource set used for sending initial information.

Information acquiring method, terminal, base station, and system

A method and system for including a base station that configures a first user equipment (UE) that is in a radio resource control connected state with the base station. The UE is configured to be a synchronization source and transmit a first device-to-device synchronization signal (D2DSS) by using a synchronization resource that comprises a time resource, a frequency resource or a time and frequency resource. The base station instructs the first UE to transmit the first D2DSS using the synchronization resource. The base station signals the UE to configure the UE separately from the signal to transmit the D2DSS, and both of the signals are performed with radio resource control signaling from the base station to the UE.

System and method for device-to-device synchronization

Embodiments are provided herein for determining a synchronizing master for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a cellular network environment. In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives a discovery signal comprising a timing reference, and determines a transmitter of the discovery signal. In accordance with the determination of the transmitter of the discovery signal, the UE performs one of synchronizing to the timing reference in the discovery signal and transmitting a second discovery signal. The UE performs the synchronizing to the timing reference if the transmitter of the discovery is a cellular network. Alternatively, the UE transmits the second discovery signal upon determining that the transmitter of the discovery signal is a second UE that is out of coverage of a cellular network.

System and methods for controlling out-of-network D2D communications

The present invention provides a wireless communication method supporting hybrid automatic repeat request. The method includes: sending first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process quantity indication information to a user equipment UE; and if second HARQ process quantity indication information is further sent to the UE, determining a second HARQ process quantity according to the second HARQ process quantity indication information, and performing data transmission with the UE according to the determined second HARQ process quantity. Correspondingly, the present invention further provides a base station and the user equipment. In the present invention, the base station and the user equipment can perform data communication with the UE based on different HARQ timing relationships and HARQ process quantities, thereby being capable of better supporting UEs adopting different functional characteristics.

Wireless communication method supporting HARQ, user equipment, and base station

Notifying served user equipments (UEs) of the presence or absence of cell-specific reference signal (CRS) symbols transmitted by neighboring base stations in the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) region of a subframe can be achieved through various of signaling techniques. The served UE may be notified by communicating a one or multi-bit indicator in a physical layer signaling channel of the serving cell, such as the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the subframe. Alternatively, the served UE may be notified through higher layer signaling.

System and method for interference management in cellular networks

Embodiments of the present application provided a method for downlink control information transmission, a base station and a terminal. In one aspect, by acquiring subframe configuration information of a terminal, where the subframe configuration information is used for indicating a first subframe for transmitting common control information and a second subframe for transmitting dedicated control information, the embodiments of the present application enable the common control information to be transmitted to the terminal over the first subframe and/or enable the dedicated control information to be transmitted to the terminal over the second subframe according to the subframe configuration information, thereby achieving downlink control information transmission between the base station and the terminal.
