Described herein is a system with a first network element and a second network element. The first network element contains a processor configured to synchronize with the second network element; and maintain synchronization with the second network element. The first network element is a small cell eNB and the second network element is one of the following: a macro cell enhanced node-B (eNB); or a small cell eNB.

Small cell demodulation reference signal and initial synchronization

A method for reporting power headroom-related information for a plurality of aggregated carriers. The method includes reporting in a bitmap the power headroom-related information for a number of the aggregated carriers that is less than or equal to the total number of aggregated carriers, wherein the power headroom-related information is one of a power headroom for at least one of the aggregated carriers and a path loss for at least one of the aggregated carriers.

Reporting power headroom for aggregated carriers

A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify power control commands within a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of, at a user agent, monitoring for power control messages on a single carrier, decoding a message received on the single carrier to generate decoded information and using the decoded information to identify a power control command for each of at least first and second carriers.

System and method for reducing decoding for carrier power control

A radio access network sends, to a mobile device, information indicating a cell on a first carrier of a first type and a cell on a second carrier of a second type, and sends, to the mobile device, configuration information regarding whether the mobile device is to connect with a cell on another carrier of a new carrier type. The radio access network sends, to the mobile device, information relating to a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration that is specific to a type of carrier.

Using a cell as a pathloss or timing reference

A method at a sensor apparatus, the method including calculating a value for a target function based on at least one sensor of the sensor apparatus; determining that the value of the target function is within a defined threshold range for a defined time period, thereby finding an in-flight state for the sensor apparatus; and turning off transmission from a radio of the sensor apparatus based on the in-flight state.

Method and system for moving status detection for a sensor apparatus

Systems, methods, and software can be used to process a control channel at a user agent (UA) within a wireless communication system. In some aspects, the method includes identifying one carrier as an anchor carrier andat least one otheranothercarrier as a non-anchor carrier;for each carrier: determining a location of a UA specific search space including one or more control channel candidates for the carrier based on a linear congruential random number; and attempting to decode each of the control channel candidates in the UA specific search space to identify at least one of an uplink or a downlink grant associated with the carrierand receiving information indicating a first number of control channel candidates for a first aggregation level for the anchor carrier and a second number of control channel candidates for the first aggregation level for the non-anchor carrier, wherein the first number of control channel candidates is different from the second number of control channel candidates.

System and method for determining a search space in carrier aggregation in LTE-A

A method for informing a relay node when to receive data. The method includes the relay node being informed of a fixed point in a subframe of data when an access node will begin transmitting relevant data over a physical downlink shared channel. The method further includes the relay node beginning to receive data at approximately the fixed point.

Relay reception synchronization system and method

Methods, devices, and systems for the transmission of information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for the transmission of information in a wireless communication system comprises receiving a downlink message, wherein the downlink message includes a first control channel element; determining a first index using the location of the first control channel element; determining a second index; determining a first orthogonal resource using the first index; determining a second orthogonal resource using the second index; spreading an uplink message using the first orthogonal resource to form a first spread signal; spreading the uplink message using a second orthogonal resource to form a second spread signal; transmitting the first spread signal using a first antenna; and transmitting the second spread signal using a second antenna.

Transmission of information in a wireless communication system

A method and system to signal transmission layers or dedicated reference signal ports to be used in a multiple input multiple output system, the method including providing a downlink control signal containing information for transmission layers or dedicated reference signal ports utilized, the dedicated reference signal ports being associated with the transmission layers; and using the information to demodulate data on each transmission layer.

Method and system for signaling transmission layers for single user and multi user MIMO

A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify at least one of an uplink and a downlink resource allocated by a resource grant within a multi-carrier communication system wherein resource grants are specified by control channel element (CCE) subset candidates wherein the carriers used for data transmission and reception are configured carriers, the method comprising the steps of receiving activation signals specifying active and deactivated carriers from among the configured carriers, for active carriers (i) identifying a number of CCE subset candidates to decode and (ii) decoding up to the identified number of CCE subset candidates in an attempt to identify the resource grant; and for deactivated carriers, ignoring CCE subset candidates associated with the deactivated carriers.

System and method for sharing a control channel for carrier aggregation

A system and method are disclosed for providing uplink timing synchronization during DRX operation in a wireless communication system.

System and method for uplink timing synchronization in conjunction with discontinuous reception

A system and method are disclosed that allows for uplink resource reuse. A user device is provided an uplink resource for a first data type. If the user device does not have enough data of the first data type to fill the granted uplink resource, the user device fills the granted uplink resource with a second data type.

System and method for uplink resource reuse

A method and apparatus for dynamic acknowledgement repetition for a downlink medium access control packet data unit transmission 'MAC PDU' requiring multiple acknowledgements, the method having the steps of: receiving the downlink MAC PDU requiring multiple acknowledgements; and utilizing a differentiating factor and acknowledgement scheme, sending the multiple acknowledgements.

Method and system for dynamic ACK/NACK repetition for robust downlink MAC PDU transmission in LTE
