Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method includes receiving, from a base station and at the UE of a group of UEs, control signaling indicating a link between a first search space set and a second search space set used for a multicast broadcast service, where a first downlink control channel for the group of UEs is transmitted in the first search space set and a second downlink control channel is transmitted in the second search space set, monitoring the first search space set for a first instance of control information in the first downlink control channel and the second search space set for a second instance of the control information in the second downlink control channel, and decoding the first instance or the second instance of the control information, or both, based on the monitoring.

A system and method for providing both localized and distributed transmission modes for EPDCCH is disclosed, where one EPDCCH comprises of one or multiple CCEs. Localized versus distributed transmission may be defined in terms of the EPDCCH to CCE resource mapping. In a localized transmission CCEs are restricted to be contained within one PRB. In a distributed transmission a CCE spans over multiple PRBs. A UE can be configured to either receive the EPDCCH only in localized or only in distributed transmissions. A UE can also be configured to expect EPDCCH transmissions in both localized and distributed transmissions. In each PRB configured by the higher layer as an EPDCCH resource, 24 REs that may be used for any DMRS transmission are always reserved and not used for EPDCCH transmission.

A method for sending and detecting downlink control information, a sending end and a receiving end are described, the method for detecting the downlink control information may include: a User Equipment (UE)-specific search space of an enhance Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH) bearing downlink control information is determined according to a preset interval; wherein the preset interval is determined according to a number of candidate positions of one component carrier at a corresponding aggregation level in a corresponding resource set, or the preset interval is determined according to the number of the candidate positions of one component carrier at the corresponding aggregation level in the corresponding resource set, and a number of scheduled component carriers, or the preset interval is determined according to the number of the candidate positions of one component carrier at the corresponding aggregation level in the corresponding resource set, and a number of configured component carriers; and the downlink control information on a physical resource corresponding to the UE-specific search space is detected. Through the disclosure, a problem of detecting the ePDCCH can be solved.

A circuit arrangement includes a control circuit configured to identify a candidate message in received control data that indicates a potential location of an encoded message in the received control data, the candidate message having a predefined message bit length, a measurement circuit configured to perform a radio measurement, the control circuit further configured to compare the radio measurement to a predefined threshold, and a decoding circuit further configured to, if the radio measurement satisfies the predefined threshold, search for the encoded message in the received control data by decoding the candidate message from the received control data with a reduced message bit length less than the predefined bit length.

A communications device transmitting/receiving signals to/from a mobile communications network includes one or more network elements providing a wireless access interface for the communications device. The wireless access interface includes plural communications resource elements across a host frequency range of a host carrier, and a first section of the communications resources within a first frequency range for preferable allocation to reduced capability devices forming a first reduced bandwidth carrier and a second section of the communications resources within a second frequency range for preferable allocation to the reduced capability devices forming a second reduced bandwidth carrier. Each of the first and second frequency ranges is within the host frequency range. The communications device is configured with a reduced capability to receive the signals only within a frequency bandwidth less than the host frequency range and equal to at least one of the first frequency range or the second frequency range.

This invention relates to a proposal of an uplink resource assignment format and a downlink resource assignment format. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the new uplink/downlink resource assignments in methods for (de)activation of downlink component carrier(s) configured for a mobile terminal, a base station and a mobile terminal. To enable efficient and robust (de)activation of component carriers, while minimizing the signaling overhead, the invention proposes a new uplink/downlink resource assignment format that allow the activation/deactivation of individual downlink component carriers configured for a mobile. The new uplink or downlink resource assignment comprises an indication of the activation state of the configured downlink component carriers, i.e., indicate which downlink component carrier(s) is/are to be activated or deactivated. This indication is for example implemented by means of a bit-mask that indicates which of the configured uplink component carriers are to be activated respectively deactivated.

In a transceiver, the accuracy of a packet time stamp can be improved by compensating for errors introduced by processing of the packet. A received packet can be received via multiple lanes. A packet time stamp can be measured using a start of frame delimiter (SFD). A last arriving lane can be used to provide a recovered clock signal. A phase offset between the recovered clock signal and the system clock of the transceiver can be used to adjust the time stamp. A position of the SFD within a data block can be used to adjust the time stamp. A position of the data block within a combined group of data blocks can be used to adjust the time stamp. Also, a serializer-deserializer delay associated with the last arriving lane can be used to adjust the time stamp.

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for encoding data for wireless communication to achieve a desired amplitude distribution. Some implementations more specifically relate to performing an encoding operation to shape the amplitudes of the resultant symbols such that the amplitudes have a non-uniform distribution. In some implementations of the non-uniform distribution, the probabilities associated with the respective amplitudes generally increase with decreasing amplitude. Some implementations enable the tracking of MPDU boundaries to facilitate successful decoding by a receiving device. Additionally or alternatively, some implementations enable the determination of a packet length after performing the amplitude shaping, which enables a transmitting device to determine the number of padding bits to add to the payload and to signal the packet length to a receiving device so that the receiving device may determine the duration of the packet.
