A system and method for operating a hybrid 4G satellite network. The method includes providing a NGSG including a satellite AS/NAS stack, a terrestrial 4G stack and a relay to connect the satellite AS/NAS stack and the terrestrial 4G stack; transporting a 4G traffic between a 4G UE and the NGSG using a satellite air interface; utilizing a terrestrial network between the NGSG and a 4G CN to transport the 4G traffic; and mapping, with the relay, the 4G traffic between the satellite AS/NAS stack and the terrestrial 4G stack and vice versa, where the satellite air interface is better suited for satellite communications than the terrestrial network. A system and method for multiplexing a first-generation UE and a second-generation UE on a satellite channel.

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 stablish 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.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transceiving a channel related to a terminal that supports half duplex transmission in a mobile communication system. The terminal receives scheduling information on multi-carriers having different TDD configurations from a base station, determines whether to receive a downlink channel for a plurality of different subframes of each multi-carrier including at least one special subframe, and transceives a channel to/from the base station depending on whether the downlink channel is received or not.

A method of transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative-acknowledgement (NACK) in a wireless communication system based on Time Division Duplex (TDD) in which M downlink sub-frame(s) are associated with an uplink sub-frame, where M is equal to or greater than one (1), the method includes receiving, by a user equipment configured with a plurality of serving cells, at least one downlink block in the M downlink sub-frame(s); determining, by the user equipment, an ACK/NACK response for the at least one downlink block by using one of a plurality of mapping rules, wherein each of the plurality of mapping rules determines the ACK/NACK response based on M, wherein when an uplink grant comprising a downlink assignment index (DAI) field indicating a pre-determined index value is received by the user equipment, M is replaced by the pre-determined index value of the DAI field for determining the ACK/NACK response.

Techniques are described for preempting resource allocations to one or more UEs in the event that delay sensitive data is received. A resource allocation of a number of symbols may be granted to a first user equipment (UE) for first associated data to be transmitted. Subsequently, data may be received for a second UE that is more delay sensitive than the first data. The resource allocation to the first UE may be preempted, and resources allocated to the second UE for the second data within a variable length transmission time interval (TTI) of the resource allocation to the first UE. UEs may monitor for preemption during transmissions to other UEs in order to receive new resource grants associated with the preempted resource grant. Whether a UE monitors transmissions for preemption may be determined based on a quality or service (QoS) of the UE.

Systems and methods described herein are directed towards an active electronically scanned array (AESA) that can perform both frequency division duplexing (FDD) operations and time division duplexing (TDD) operations. The AESA includes a switch network having one or more switching stages coupled between a transceiver and one or more array elements to switch the AESA between FDD operation and TDD operations, modify a function of one or more of the array elements in the AESA and/or swap portions of the AESA between different functions. The switch network can be disposed in a feed portion of the AESA. Thus, functions of each of the array elements or subarrays of multiple array elements in the AESA can be modified at a feed portion of the AESA. The array elements can be configured for TDD operations and FDD operations and can be configured as a transmit elements, receive elements or isolation elements.

A method for determining threshold signal power for a switching control module of a TDD switching sub-system includes setting a threshold signal power to a first value, wherein the threshold signal power is compared to a measured signal power of a downlink path signal of a telecommunication system from a measurement receiver; determining a first downlink signal time using the first value; adjusting the threshold signal power to a second value; determining a second downlink signal time using the second value; determining a difference between the first and second downlink signal times; when difference between the first and second downlink signal times does not exceed a predetermined threshold, determining whether the second downlink signal time corresponds to a valid downlink signal time; when second downlink signal time corresponds to a valid downlink signal time, setting a fixed threshold signal power for use during online operation of the switching control module.

The present invention relates to a system that includes a transmission/reception point and a user equipment having different configurations in inter-band and performs a TDD (Time Division Duplex) method.
