Dynamic forward error correction (FEC) setting is discussed in which the network determines a FEC percentage for each video segment of a video streaming service, based on consideration of the transfer length of the video segment and the allocated bandwidth. When the transfer length and allocated bandwidth reflect transmission of less than peak bandwidth, the network will determine a higher FEC percentage that uses the otherwise wasted bandwidth to transmit additional redundancy symbols. The additional redundancy symbols increase the error recovery rate when collisions occur between streaming video reception and page monitoring occasions of other networks in multi-network, multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) mobile devices. A network entity may then transmit the dynamic FEC percentage for each video segment in the file description table (FDT) associated with the video streaming service.

An adaptable orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing system (OFDM) that uses a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) to having OFDM signals transmitted either in accordance with time diversity to reducing signal fading or in accordance with spatial diversity to increase the data rate. Sub-carriers are classified for spatial diversity transmission or for time diversity transmission based on the result of a comparison between threshold values and at least one of three criteria. The criteria includes a calculation of a smallest eigen value of a frequency channel response matrix and a smallest element of a diagonal of the matrix and a ratio of the largest and smallest eigen values of the matrix.

The disclosure provides techniques for reducing interference caused by a first device to a second device receiving a satellite-based positioning signal. A device such as a user equipment (UE) or base station (eNB) determines a threshold transmission power for a transmission frequency of the device. The device also determines a signal strength of the satellite-based positioning system signal at the device. The device then controls a transmission property of the device based on the signal strength of the satellite-based positioning system signal when a transmission power of the device at the transmission frequency satisfies the threshold. The device may also determine that reception of the satellite-based positioning system signal by the second device is likely to be affected by a transmission from the device at a transmission power that satisfies the threshold and control the transmission property when reception of the satellite-based positioning system signal is likely to be affected.

In a base station that transmits data to a first terminal in coordination with a coordination-providing base station, and functions as a connection-making base station that instructs the coordination-providing base station on a transmission parameter that is used for coordinated communication, a reception processor receives first CSI between the connection-making base station and the first terminal from the first terminal, and, receives, from each of at least one or more second terminals other than the first terminal, second CSI between the connection-making base station and a second terminal, and third CSI between the coordination-providing base station and at least one second terminal, a CSI estimator configures the third CSI which corresponds to a terminal, to which the first CSI and the second CSI are the closest, of the at least one or more second terminals, as an estimation value of CSI between the coordination-providing base station and the first terminal.

Aspects presented herein may improve the efficiency of power boosting of PDCCH by a base station and the blind PDCCH detection/decoding performed by a UE. In one aspect, the UE receives, from a base station, a power boost indication for a PDCCH. The UE determines at least one search space based on the power boost indication from the base station. The UE monitors for the PDCCH with the indicated power boost from the base station in the at least one search space. In another aspect, a base station transmits, to a UE, a power boost indication for a PDCCH. The base station applies a power boost to the PDCCH. The base station transmits the PDCCH with the power boost to the UE.
