A method for a user equipment (UE) to monitor paging messages is provided. The method monitors, while the UE is in an Idle mode, a physical paging channel (PPCH) for receiving paging messages associated with the UE from a serving radio access network (RAN). The method receives one or more paging messages associated with the UE while monitoring the PPCH. The method then determines, whether the one or more paging messages are received during a small data transmission (SDT) procedure. The method further determines whether to terminate the SDT procedure or not after determining that the one or more paging messages are received during the SDT procedure.

A dual band LTE small cell base station communicates on both licensed bands and unlicensed bands. The small cell base station modifies the communication protocol utilized by the licensed band to enable communication over an unlicensed band. This modification involves replacing the physical (PHY) layer of the licensed band communication protocol with the PHY layer of a to-be-used protocol in an unlicensed band.

A wireless telecommunications system including a base station and terminal device, supporting a virtual carrier mode with downlink communications made by the base station using a radio interface spanning a system frequency bandwidth while the terminal device can receive at least some communications from the base station within a restricted subset of transmission resources selected from within the system frequency bandwidth providing a restricted bandwidth downlink. The terminal device can measure channel conditions across the system frequency bandwidth and transmit corresponding measurement reports to the base station. Measurement reports for transmission resources not including the restricted bandwidth downlink channel may be aperiodic while measurement reports for transmission resources including the restricted bandwidth downlink channel may be periodic. Measurement reports for transmission resources not including the restricted bandwidth downlink channel may be based on a subset of the channel condition measurements selected because they are associated with relatively poor channel conditions.

Data can originate from at least one device. The data can be received by at least one network element corresponding to a network. The data can be sent over the network by the at least one device. The data can be analyzed to determine a presence of one or more keywords or key phrases in the data received. A determination can be performed to determine whether or not to filter or block the data. The data can be blocked or filtered according to the determination.

A device, system, and method perform an adaptive link adaptation. The method, at a user equipment (UE) connected to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network via an evolved Node B (eNB), includes determining a type of wireless traffic being utilized by the UE based upon at least one application executed on the UE, the wireless traffic being one of a data only, a voice only, or a combination thereof. The method includes determining a block error rate (BLER) target value to be used in a channel state feedback operation associated with a link adaptation operation for a connection between the UE and the eNB.
