Inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) load balancing under multi-carrier dynamic spectrum sharing (SS) context is provided. One method may include splitting shared radio-frequency resources into orthogonal resource pool shares. The method may include receiving a load metric for each of a plurality of radio access technologies. The method may include assigning, based on the load metric, one of the resource pool shares to each of the plurality of radio access technologies. In addition, the method may include dynamically adjusting a proportion of the assigned resource pool shares based on the load metric of each of the plurality of radio access technologies at corresponding carriers. The method may include assigning a primary carrier to a user equipment based on the load metric, the resource pool share, a coverage of the carriers' physical channels, and a type of multi-carrier operation for each of the plurality of radio access technologies.

Inter-radio access technology load balancing under multi-carrier dynamic spectrum sharing

An apparatus including circuitry configured to define a spatial beam codebook of size NB on the basis of radiation patterns of an antenna array of a base station of a radio access network, which utilizes inter-radio-access technology, wherein each beam corresponds to a radiation pattern whose main lobe is uniquely directed to an angular direction with respect to the antenna array. The apparatus further includes circuitry configured to assign a spatial beam index from the spatial beam codebook for a candidate user equipment of the radio access technology; circuitry configured to assign a set of subcarriers for candidate user equipment of the radio access technology for each spatial beam index; and circuitry configured to use the assigned sets of subcarriers and spatial beam indices of the other radio-access-technology for one or more of resource pool partitioning, link-adaptation, and packet scheduling for the candidate user equipment.

Coordinated link adaptation and packet scheduling in dynamic spectrum sharing

A method and apparatus may include adapting transmission opportunities of the first network node. A radio-technology of the apparatus coexists with at least one other radio-access technology of a network node. The adapting may include adapting when the apparatus is able to perform transmissions. The method may also include transmitting in accordance with a transmitting period. The transmitting period corresponds to a time over which the apparatus is configured to perform transmitting and to be muted. The transmitting may include transmitting on an unlicensed carrier.

A method and apparatus for uplink power alignment estimation in a communication system includes a stepof defining an upper threshold and a lower threshold for a transmit power correction (TPC) level. A next stepincludes keeping a total of accumulated TPC commands. A next stepincludes determining that a power correction is needed. A next stepincludes generating a TPC command to be sent to a user equipment per the needed power correction. A next stepincludes adjusting the total according to one of the following conditions: if the total is between the upper and lower thresholds then the total is changed per the needed power correction, if the total is at either of the thresholds and the needed power correction would not exceed either of the thresholds then the total is changed per the needed power correction, and if the total is at either of the thresholds and the needed power correction would exceed either of the thresholds then total is kept the same.

Uplink power alignment estimation in a communication system

A method, wireless receiver, and wireless communication system manage error correction of received wirelessly transmitted messages. A High Level network layer component identifies unique values within a message type associated with a communication link. The High Level network layer component determines a message signature associated with the message type. Decoding rules associated with the message type are generated by the High Level network layer component. The decoding rules include a set of acceptable/unacceptable errors associated with the message type. The decoding rules are sent via the High Level network layer component, to a component at a network layer that is lower than the High Level network layer component. The Low Level network layer component decodes, based on the decoding rules, at least a portion of a wirelessly transmitted message that has been received.
