A wireless communications device with a wireless module and a controller module is provided. The wireless module performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network comprising at least two first home base stations having the same physical cell identity (PCI) or physical scrambling code (PSC), a plurality of second home base stations neighboring the first home base stations, and a macro base station. The controller module receives a message from the macro base station via the wireless module, requests the wireless module to detect a plurality of PCIs or PSCs respectively corresponding to the first home base stations and the second home base stations in response to the message, and transmits to the macro base station via the wireless module the detected PCIs or PSCs, prior to being handed over to the one of the first home base stations from the macro base station.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for inbound handover enhancement

The invention provides a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the wireless communication system comprises a base station and user equipment. The base station transmits data to user equipment via a plurality of the component carriers comprising a series of data transmission cycles, interleaves starting time of a plurality of active periods of the component carriers in each data transmission cycle in an order, and sends control data to the user equipment via the component carriers during the active periods of the component carriers. The user equipment receives the control data via the component carriers during the active periods of the component carriers.

Data communication method, wireless communication system, and base station

A method for network entry management for use in a base station. The method includes steps of broadcasting multiple carriers, wherein the carriers are classified into fully configured carriers and partially configured carriers, the fully configured carrier includes at least one primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) and at least one secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH), and the partially configured carrier includes at least one P-SCH and does not include the S-SCH.

Systems and methods for network entry management

A method for mobile communication and a system thereof are provided. The system for mobile communication includes a main base station and a plurality of sub-communication devices. The sub-communication device is one of a sub-base station and a user equipment. The sub-base stations and the user equipments are located in the macrocell of the main base station. The method includes the following steps. First, locations of the sub-communication devices are obtained. Then, the sub-communication devices are grouped based on the locations of the sub-communication devices. And, an allocation of resource blocks is obtained according to the grouping results. The sub-communication devices receive the allocation of resource blocks for control signaling and data transmission. And, the usage of same resource blocks are enabled by the sub-base station allocated in the same resource blocks in response to receipt of the allocation.

Method for mobile communication and system thereof

Systems and methods for network entry management are provided. The system includes a base station and a mobile station. The base station broadcasts synchronization channels (SCH) on multiple carriers, where the SCH may be hierarchical synchronization channel composed of primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) and secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH) which are used for timing, frequency synchronization, cell identification, etc. The carriers include at least a first carrier including at least one P-SCH and do not include a S-SCH. The mobile station scans the first carrier, and checks whether a P-SCH is broadcasted on the first carrier. If a P-SCH is broadcasted on the first carrier, the mobile station checks whether an S-SCH is broadcasted on the first carrier. If no S-SCH is broadcasted on the first carrier, the mobile station scans for a second carrier broadcasted by the base station.

A cross-layer rate adaptation mechanism for wireless local area network (WLAN) can obtain the channel state by calculating the E/Nratio of ACK frame transmitted from the receiver side. The mechanism determines the transmission rate of the next frame by referring to a predefined reduced mode table. When receiving an ACK frame fails, the mechanism can automatically lower the transmitting rate of the next transmission. Therefore, the method can reduce the damage to the system when ACK frame failure happens.
