A mobile terminal 3 judges whether or not the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DTX period during Active, and, when judging that the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DTX period during Active, notifies a base station 2 to that effect. If the base station 2 judges that the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DRX period during Active when triggered by the notification from the mobile terminal 3, the base station temporarily stops supply of electric power to the data transmission processing units and the data reception processing units of the mobile terminal 3.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform substantially concurrent communications with a next generation network node and a legacy network node. The wireless device may be configured to establish a first wireless link with a first cell according to a RAT, where the first cell operates in a first system bandwidth and establish a second wireless link with a second cell according to a RAT, where the second cell operates in a second system bandwidth. Further, the wireless device may be configured to perform uplink activity for both the first RAT and the second RAT by TDM uplink data for the first RAT and uplink data for the second RAT if uplink activity is scheduled according to both the first RAT and the second RAT.

A method for operating a wireless device, includes receiving downlink control information (DCI), which is repeated on a plurality of downlink subframes determining a last subframe n on which the repetition of the DCI is completed; determining a start subframe n+k to repeatedly transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein based on that the last subframe n is unavailable to determine the start subframe n+k to repeatedly transmit the PUSCH, a first subframe among a plurality of subframes after the last subframe n is used as the last subframe n to determine the start subframe n+k; and transmitting the PUSCH repeated over a plurality of subframes starting from the determined start subframe n+k.

A base station receiver is described. The base station receiver may comprise at least one processor and memory. The memory may store instructions executable by the at least one processor. The instructions may include, to: receive, via a time-division multiple access (TDMA) scheme, a first carrier frequency comprising a first burst; receive, via the TDMA scheme, a second carrier frequency comprising a second burst; and demodulate and decode both the first and second bursts using a common demodulating and decoding node (DDN).

A method for assigning a percentage of a CSAT time cycle to each radio node (RN) in a plurality of RNs that belong to a small cell radio access network (RAN) having a central controller includes: (i) for each time cycle period during which the RNs share a channel with one or more nodes that employ a different radio access technology (RAT), assigning a default occupancy percentage of the time cycles to each of the RNs; (ii) determining if the default occupancy percentage is able to be increased without violating one or more co-existence principles pre-established for the RAT employed by the RNs in the RAN and the different RAT; (iii) increasing the occupancy percentage of the first RN if it is determined that the default occupancy percentage is able to be increased without violating the co-existence principles; and (iv) sequentially repeating (ii)-(iii) for each remaining RN in the RAN.

Embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for managing network communications. A transceiver of a first node may receive, from a second node of the plurality of nodes, a transmission sequence generated according to a communications cost value determined for each pair of the nodes in the communications node. The transmission sequence may specify a third node followed by the first node as consecutive nodes for transmitting packets. A sequence manager of the first node may detect that reception of a terminal packet of the one or more packets from the third node has or should have just completed. The sequence manager may initiate transmission by the transceiver immediately upon the detection.

Managing communications among a plurality of wireless communication transceiver nodes in a mobile ad-hoc network, wherein each node performs several steps: including storing a plurality of timeslot sets, wherein each timeslot set comprises a plurality of timeslots having a predetermined location within a TDMA frame, and the plurality of timeslot sets comprises an intra-region timeslot set and at least one inter-region timeslot set, a timeslot function assigning each timeslot to one timeslot set from said plurality of timeslot sets, and one neighbor node set from a plurality of neighbor node sets, and a plurality of channel sets, wherein each channel set is associated with: a cellular channel assignment function assigning one channel from said channel set to an input set of spatial coordinates; a Transmission Interference Range (TIR) function assigning a Maximum Transmission Interference Range (MTIR) value based on an input timeslot set and said input set of spatial coordinates.

The invention relates to a device for direct communication in simplex mode between mobile devices, in particular mobile phones, using carrier frequencies of a cellular mobile phone system, wherein each carrier frequency transmits a TDMA frame with a TDMA frame duration of 4.615 ms and each TDMA frame comprises 8 time slots with a duration of 577 microseconds, wherein the device comprises a hardware module which controls direct communication, wherein the device is designed to combine TDMA frames into a multi-frame which comprises 13 TDMA frames with the positions 0 to 12 and is configured in such a manner that in simplex mode the mobile devices involved constantly transmit and receive in time slots which are separate from one another and within each multi-frame in each TDMA frame only the first time slot TS0 is assigned to transmitting or receiving, while the other time slots TS1 to TS7 of the TDMA frame are left free.
