The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for configuring a DCI format for a TDD-FDD CA environment and an FDD-TDD CA environment. According to aspects, an HARQ process number field, a DAI filed in a downlink DCI format, and a DAI field in an uplink DCI format are differently configured for the TDD-FDD CA environment and the FDD-TDD CA environment.

A data communication method implemented by a sensor node of a telecommunications network including a plurality of sensor nodes and a concentrator node, which share a communication channel. The method includes: selecting a time interval in a contention window including a plurality of time intervals and preceding a transmission period including a plurality of transmission intervals; emitting a request signal during the selected time interval to the concentrator node; receiving a response signal carrying encoded information representing an ordered combination of the intervals marked during which the signals were received by the concentrator node; determining a transmission rank according to a number of intervals marked by the concentrator node; and deciding to emit data to the concentrator node in the transmission period when the transmission rank is lower than or equal to the number of intervals of the transmission period.

An example data structure for managing user equipment communications in a wireless communications system is presented, as well as methods and apparatuses configured to implement the data structure. For instance, the data structure may include a downlink subframe comprising two slots and including one or more quick downlink channels having a single-slot transmission time interval. In addition, the example data structure may include one or more resource element blocks each comprising one or more resource elements into which a frequency bandwidth is divided within one or both of the two slots, wherein each of the one or more resource element blocks comprises a control channel region or a data channel region. Furthermore, the example data structure may include one or more resource grants, located within one or more control channel regions, for one or more user equipment served by the one or more quick downlink channels.

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, disclosed is a method and an apparatus thereof for handling a conflict resolution between storage requirements of multiple applications sharing the same data. A conflict resolution function resolves the conflicts in several steps and the result is either a coordinated merge of the different applications' storage requirements in multiple groups according to their needs and/or a controlled reduction of the relevance of some of the storage requirements for some applications.

The present disclosure relates to a method for use in a wireless communication device reporting ACK or NACK in dynamic TDD configurations. In the method, an indication of a reference UL TDD configuration and a reference DL TDD configuration is indicated. Then, ACK or NACK bits with a fixed number of the ACK or NACK bits based on the reference DL TDD configuration are reported at a timing based on the reference DL TDD configuration. The present disclosure also relates to a wireless communication device for reporting ACK/NACK in dynamic TDD configurations.

A system and method for reducing interference between wireless terminals communicating in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Interference is reduced by dividing the MANET into a number of geographical areas having a specific size and shape. Each geographical area is assigned a time slot during which wireless terminals located in the respective geographical area may transmit to other wireless terminals. The time slots are assigned such that geographical areas having the same time slot are far enough away from each other that wireless terminals located in such same time slot geographical areas are outside the interference range of each other.

A method includes acquiring system information or a physical broadcast channel PBCH that is broadcast by a base station, where the system information or the PBCH includes a preset physical random access channel PRACH, the preset PRACH includes m preset radio frames, and m is a positive integer; determining that a quantity of repetition times of a preamble sequence, which is used for random access, at a preset resource location of the preset PRACH is n, where 1≦n≦10m; and sending, at n preset resource locations of the preset PRACH, the preamble sequence to the base station.

The behavior of multiple users with access to a multi-tenant resource can be monitored and compliance enforced by monitoring state information for each user. The state information can be captured across a level of a network environment, such that any activity across that layer can be monitored and the data aggregated to give a global view of user behavior. If user behavior is determined to fall outside an acceptable range of behavior, any of a number of remedial actions can be taken, which can include notifying the user, billing the user for the inappropriate behavior, or modifying that behavior outside of the control of the user.

Provided is a digital filter implementing a function by using circular convolution of a digital input signal and a unit pulse response of the digital filter in applying a filter to the digital signal. In addition, a configuration sequence change of an output signal, which occurs as a result of digital filtering according to the present invention, in comparison to an input signal, is corrected by inversely performing circular shifting in a transmitter by amount of the configuration sequence change, or by reconstructing a signal after making synchronization and acquiring the signal previous to a time point of the synchronization by amount of the configuration sequence change, in a receiver.
