Configuration of a Random Access Channel of a Base Station

A first base station receives, from a second base station, cell information of a second cell of the second base station. The cell information indicates a subcarrier spacing associated with the second cell. The first base station transmits, to a wireless device, configuration parameters for a random access channel of a first cell of the first base station. The configuration parameters are based on the cell information of the second cell.

Radio base station, user terminal and radio communication method

The present invention is designed to use radio resources effectively and improve the throughput of a radio communication system even when a plurality of small cells are placed densely. A radio base station controls the connecting cell of a user terminal, and has a selection section that selects candidate cells, the received power and/or the received quality of which in the user terminal is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and a determining section that calculates the amount of data to transmit to serving user terminals, for each candidate cell, by taking into account the frequency band that is used, and determines a candidate cell where the amount of data is small, as the connecting cell of the user terminal.

Method and apparatus for efficiently controlling access for system load adjustment in mobile communication systems

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for efficiently controlling access for system load adjustment in mobile communication systems. A method for transmitting and receiving data by a terminal including a user equipment (UE) non access stratum (NAS) and a UE access stratum (AS) includes the steps of: receiving by the UE AE, information including emergency call-related information which includes barring information by type for the emergency call, from a base station; transmitting, by the UE NAS, a service request for the emergency call to the UE AS; and determining, by the UE AS, whether to bar the service request on the basis of emergency call-related information. During an emergency call transmission, network congestion can be easily controlled by enabling various types of emergency calls to be transmitted, and enabling access to be barred information according to the situation of a communication network and types of emergency calls.

Configuration and reconfiguration of aggregated backhaul bearers in a multi-hop integrated access backhaul network for 5G or other next generation network

In a 5G network, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) deployment in a 5G network, can enable aggregation of multiple user equipment (UE) bearers into backhaul bearers based on factors such as route information of UE bearers and quality of service of UE bearers. Additionally, reconfiguration of backhaul bearers, based on triggers, such as route changes for UE bearers can increase network efficiency for a 5G or other next generation network.

20170339531 · 2017-11-23 ·

Provided are a method and an apparatus for stopping and restarting an MBMS service in a wireless communication system. A terminal receives multicast channel (MCH) scheduling information (MSI) and checks whether a special value is included in the received MSI. If the special value is included in the MSI, then whether to stop or suspend the MBMS service can be determined. That is, MSI can be considered in stopping the MBMS service. Furthermore, stopping is terminating an MBMS service without a consideration for restarting same, and suspending is terminating an MBMS service with a consideration for restarting same.

Method and system for providing tiered access to communication network resources
09826557 · 2017-11-21 · ·

Methods and systems automatically allocate cellular communication network resources to emergency response personnel during emergency situations which are detected by call volumes exceeding a predetermined maximum. Access to cellular communication network resources is provided by dedicating a portion of communication radio resources to emergency response personnel use. By reserving radio resources for emergency communication purposes, emergency personnel are able to both initiate and receive calls or data sessions from both other mobile devices as well as conventional landline telephone stations. Qualified emergency response personnel can preregistered their phones and be assigned personal identification numbers to enable access to allocated network resources. Users can also be registered “on the fly.”

In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and storage media may be described for identifying subframes in a radio frame on which a UE may receive a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) or enhanced PDCCH (ePDCCH) transmission. Specifically, the UE may receive multiple indications of uplink/downlink (UL/DL) subframe configurations and identify one or more subframes in which the UE may receive the PDCCH or ePDCCH transmission. The UE may then monitor one or more of the identified subframes and base discontinuous reception (DRX) timer functionality on one or more of the identified subframes.

Non-standalone architecture frame alignment

Techniques for measuring and reducing signal misalignment in a dual connectivity environment are discussed herein. When using Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA), a device initially communicates with a network using a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connection. After the LTE connection is established, an LTE base station may instruct the device to measure signal strength of a neighboring New Radio (NR) cell during a specified LTE measurement gap. When the NR cell is implemented by an indoor NR base station, the NR signal may not be sufficiently synchronized with the LTE signal and the device may be unable to measure the NR signal during the measurement gap. In these cases, the device can determine the frame timing difference between the LTE and NR signals, obtain an adjusted measurement gap that reduces any measurement gap misalignment, and attempt to measure the signal strength of the NR cell using the adjusted measurement gap.
