A method and apparatus for managing node failures in a mesh network is provided. In an example method for, a trigger is sent to a target node to return test data. The test data received from the target node is analyzed. The target node is classified as valid if the test data is within expected parameters.

Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), Local Controller (LC) device, and methods for allocation of shared spectrum for secondary usage are generally described herein. In some cases, primary usage of the shared spectrum may be prioritized over the secondary usage of the shared spectrum. The eNB may receive, from the LC device, a spectrum availability message that indicates an availability of the shared spectrum for the secondary usage. The eNB may transmit, to the LC device, spectrum sensing information that is based at least partly on one or more signal strength measurements for UEs connected to the eNB. The eNB may further transmit, to the LC device, a spectrum engagement message that indicates an intention of the eNB to use at least a portion of the shared spectrum for communication with the UEs.

Evolved node-b, local controller and method for allocation of spectrum for secondary usage

A non-transitory computer readable medium may store instructions that when executed by a processor direct the processor to perform a radio spectrum allocation method including processing requested radio access terms of one or more lower-tiered users and determining available radio access terms from one or more incumbents, generating a plurality of candidate radio access licenses based on the requested radio access terms and the available radio access terms, determining radio conditions of each of the plurality of candidate radio access licenses, and based on the determined radio conditions, selecting a radio access license from the plurality of candidate radio access licenses and directing the one or more lower-tiered users to use the selected radio access license or operated based on the selected radio access license.

Methods and devices for shared spectrum allocation

A mobile terminal device may include a radio processing circuit and a baseband processing circuit adapted to interact with the radio processing circuit. The mobile terminal device may be configured to transmit or receive a data sequence using a first channel and a second channel according to a data allocation ratio, wherein the data sequence is allocated between frequency division duplexing (FDD) transmission or reception and time division duplexing (TDD) transmission or reception according to the data allocation ratio, and concurrently to transmitting or receiving the data sequence, recurrently adjust the data allocation ratio to re-allocate the distribution of the data sequence between FDD transmission or reception and TDD transmission or reception on the first channel and the second channel.

Methods for performing mobile communications between mobile terminal devices, base stations, and network control devices

Described herein are technologies related to an implementation of reducing a time cost of accessing a Licensed Shared Access (LSA) during a transmission opportunity in a transceiver circuitry of a portable device.
