An unlicensed carrier power control method is provided. Multiple transmitted power constraint parameters are acquired, and a minimum value in the multiple transmitted power constraint parameters is determined. Power control is performed according to the minimum value in the multiple transmitted power constraint parameters. An unlicensed carrier power control device and a storage medium are also provided.

A communication control apparatus according to a first feature is used in a mobile communication system. The communication control apparatus includes: a controller configured to perform control related to a radio access bearer established between a user terminal and a serving gateway. The radio access bearer is configured with: a first bearer between the user terminal and a base station; and a second bearer between the base station and the serving gateway. The communication control apparatus is positioned on the second bearer. The controller is configured to maintain at least some sections of the second bearer without releasing, even when the first bearer is released.

Disclosed is a method for receiving a reference signal for determining location by means of one or more unlicensed band cells in a wireless communication system, and the method, carried out by a terminal, may comprise the steps of: receiving configuration information associated with a positioning reference signal (PRS) transmitted by means of one or more unlicensed band cells, the PRS-related configuration information comprising information regarding the subframe from which the PRS is transmitted; receiving and measuring the PRS by means of the PRS-related configuration information; and reporting the results of the PRS measurement to a serving base station.

A base station performs wireless communication with a terminal using a first frequency band which needs a license to use for wireless communication and a second frequency band which does not need the license to use for the wireless communication. The base station includes: a generator that generates a request signal for requesting data transmission of the terminal in the second frequency band and specifying a first transmission timing of the terminal; and a transmitter that transmits the request signal to the terminal, wherein the request signal includes information specifying a second transmission timing, which is a next transmission timing when the terminal does not perform data transmission at the first transmission timing and is specified by an offset from a reference timing.

According to one embodiment, a base station includes a licensed band transmitting unit, a determining unit, and an unlicensed band transmitting unit. The licensed band transmitting unit transmits, to a terminal, a control signal for specifying a resource in a shared band to be used for data transmission by the terminal. The determining unit determines whether the resource in the shared band is idle or busy. The unlicensed band transmitting unit transmits a permission signal for permitting transmission in the shared band when the determining unit determines that the resource in the shared band is idle. The control signal or the permission signal includes an offset indicating a time from the permission signal to a start of transmission of data from the terminal to the base station with reference to the permission signal transmitted from the unlicensed band transmitting unit.

The disclosure is related to a method and a system for selecting a communication interface. The method is applicable to a local area network including multiple access points. A main access point is first selected. The main access point acquires every access point's information within a local area network. The information relates to the access points that are in an idle state or not performing a critical task. A target antenna can be selected for performing a specific function. For example, the target antenna can be used to scan for the channels specified in dynamic frequency selection. After that, the scan result may result in changing channels. Through the above mechanism, the resources in every AP within the LAN can be adequately used, and the performance of wireless communication can be effectively improved.

A hybrid cellular and non-cellular multi-hop communication device, including a hand-held wireless device having one or more antennas, a cellular wireless interface connected to at least some of the one or more antennas, and a non-cellular wireless interface connected to at least some of the one or more antennas. The non-cellular wireless interface may include a rate allocator configured to select a physical-layer rate of transmission of data from the non-cellular wireless interface based on a queue length of data to be transmitted from the hand-held cellular device and a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit data from the queue and adjust physical-layer transmission parameters based on a physical-layer rate selected by the rate allocator.
