An infrastructure equipment as part of a mobile communications network receives an indication that data is to be transmitted to one of communications devices. In response the infrastructure equipment transmits a first paging message to the communications device to indicate the communications device is to receive the data via a wireless access interface. If a response to the transmitted first paging message is not received within a predetermined time, then if the infrastructure equipment can use a power boosting mode, to transmit the first paging message with a boosted power, or if the infrastructure equipment cannot use a power boosted mode for transmitting, to transmit a second paging message to one or more communications apparatus which can operate as a relay node for the communications device. The second paging message identifies the relay node and the communications device for which the infrastructure equipment is to transmit the data.

Human proximity detection techniques for wireless communication devices are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a memory and logic, at least a portion of the logic comprised in circuitry coupled to the memory, the logic to perform a connection establishment procedure to establish a wireless link with a human proximity reporting (HPR) device, identify heart rate information comprised in a human proximity report received from the HPR device via the wireless link, determine an initial HPR state based on the heart rate information, and select an initial operating mode for a feature of a human proximity monitoring (HPM) device based on the initial HPR state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An image forming device includes a communication unit communicating with an information processing device via a predetermined communication method, an printing unit performing printing based on a job received from the information processing device, at least one processor, and at least one computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including transmitting first information including information based on a first transmission power at the first transmission power, receiving predetermined information from the information processing device, and transmitting, in a case where the predetermined information is received, second information at the first transmission power.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The apparatus may receive a transmission over a precoded channel. The transmission may include a layer having a plurality of symbols, each symbol having a plurality of modulated tones precoded on a per-tone basis. The receive layer may be associated with a power delay profile. The apparatus may estimate the precoded channel based on a time support of the power delay profile.

Transmission power control on a mobile station (UE) is appropriately performed when “Inter-eNB CA” is performed by using cells under control of plural radio base stations (eNB). In a mobile communication system according to the present invention, a specific radio base station (eNB#1) among plural radio base stations (eNB#1, eNB#2) performs scheduling control and transmission power control on a mobile station (UE) in all the cells (#1, #2A to #2C) under the control of the plural radio base stations (eNB#1, eNB#2).

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting control information for device-to-device (D2D) communication of a D2D transmission terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: receiving a resource pool configuration for D2D communication; and mapping control information for a D2D reception terminal onto a resource pool related to a scheduling assignment, wherein the control information includes information for a D2D signal transmission of the D2D reception terminal to the D2D transmission terminal, and is unicast to the D2D reception 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.
