The present disclosure relates to first type node (AP.sub.0) in a wireless communication system (1), wherein the first type node (AP.sub.0) is adapted to: —communicate with at least one other first type node (AP.sub.1, AP.sub.2) in the wireless communication system (1) over a corresponding backhaul channel (H.sub.1, H.sub.4), —acquire a prediction for information (X.sub.23) to be requested via at least one of said other first type nodes (AP.sub.2, AP.sub.3), and to —transmit the predicted information (X.sub.23) to one of said other first type nodes (AP.sub.2) for buffer storage and/or relaying.

Access to a wireless medium is made more flexible by combining the distributed access and central controlled access. A wireless device may be allowed to perform both orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) and enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) channel access mechanisms at same time and start the channel access via a mechanism that allows a faster access to the channel. Depending on channel acquisition, the wireless device can use a multi-user format or a single-user format to transmit uplink anPLCP protocol data unit (PPDU).

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for implementing spatial multiplexing in conjunction with the one or more multiple access protocols during the broadcast of information in a wireless network. One example includes transmitting a first and a second data signal to a remote unit from a respective first and a second spatially separate antenna of a base station so that the first and second data signals have a first spatial configuration, determining that the first and the second data signals are not spatially separated by the remote unit, reconfiguring the (spatial multiplexing logic 104) spatial configuration of the first and second data signals to a second spatial configuration, and transmitting a third and fourth data signal to the remote unit from a second different antenna configuration according to the second spatial configuration.

A disclosure of the present specification provides a method for transceiving data in a next generation mobile communication system. The method may comprise a step of receiving system information from a base station. The system information may comprise: system band information; information regarding a first uplink center frequency and a second uplink center frequency for an uplink band within the system band; and information regarding a first downlink center frequency and a second downlink center frequency for a downlink band within the system band. The method may comprise: a step of receiving, from the base station, a control signal to change the downlink band to a second downlink center frequency; and a step of tuning a radio frequency (RF) unit in order to switch the downlink band from the first downlink center frequency to the second downlink center frequency.

Embodiments contemplate methods and systems for determining and communicating channel state information (CSI) for one or more transmission points (or CSI reference signal resources). Embodiments further contemplate determining transmission states may include applying at least one CSI process for channel state information (CSI) reporting. Embodiments also contemplate aperiodic and/or periodic reporting of one or more report types (e.g., rank indicator (RI)) of CSI, perhaps based on one or more reporting modes that may be configured for each of the one or more CSI process.

The embodiments of the present invention disclose a call processing method and device. The call processing method comprises: sending, by a repeater of the first site, a first call establishment request to a repeater of the second site according to a call request initiated by a first terminal, the first call establishment request comprising an identification of the second terminal; determining, by the repeater of the first site, whether a second call establishment request is received before a call establishment response sent by the repeater of the second site is received, the second call establishment request being sent by the repeater of the second site according to a call request initiated by the second terminal; and if yes, sending, by the repeater of the first site, a call collision notification to the first terminal to notify the first terminal to delay the call.

A wireless communication control system includes a first radio having a directional antenna, a second radio, a directivity control unit controlling the directivity of the directional antenna, and a directivity information storage unit storing directivity information relating to a directivity, the directivity information being applied to the directional antenna in relation to wireless communication between the first and second radios in accordance with a plurality of change patterns indicating a temporal change in a received signal intensity. The directivity control unit acquires a temporal change in a received signal intensity during wireless communication between the first and second radios, selects, from among pieces of the directivity information stored in the directivity information storage unit, directivity information corresponding to the change pattern corresponding to the temporal change in the received signal intensity, applies the selected directivity information, and executes wireless communication between the first and second radios.

The present invention relates to a communication between MAC layer entity and PHY layer entity for parallel random access procedures of dual connectivity. In this scheme, a first PHY entity of a user equipment informs a failure of a random access preamble transmission to a first MAC entity of the UE. Then, the first MAC entity continues or stops a random access procedure without performing procedures for a random access failure.
