20150230284 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION - A first user equipment (UE) wirelessly communicates with a network element (e.g., an eNB) on a carrier (e.g., a cellular uplink or downlink carrier) in accordance with its first capability partitioning configuration. The first UE engages in direct wireless communication on the carrier with a second UE in accordance its second capability partitioning configuration. | 2015-08-13 |
20150230285 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECONNECTION IN SHORT-RANGE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A method of reconnecting communication with a second device by a first device in short-range wireless communication is provided. The method includes, when it is determined that a link loss is generated at a link with the second device, adjusting a scanning period of advertisement data broadcasted by the second device and a size of a scan window in which the scanning is performed, according to a time during which the link loss continues; and scanning the advertisement data at each of the adjusted scanning periods in the scan window corresponding to the adjusted size. | 2015-08-13 |
20150230286 | MAXIMIZATION OF SCHEDULING OPPORTUNITIES IN IN-DEVICE COEXISTENCE INTERFERENCE SCENARIOS - The invention relates methods for avoiding in-device coexistence, IDC, interference by a mobile terminal in a mobile communication system. The invention is also providing apparatus for performing these methods, and computer readable media the instructions of which cause the apparatus to perform the methods described herein. In order to allow avoiding IDC interference, an IDC interference indication is reported for one of a first or second cell on which an interference condition is detected; in response an activation/deactivation pattern is received for the one cell, the pattern indicating an off-duration and an offset specifying a time-period during which communication via the cell is to be deactivated; based thereon, subframes are determined from which on communication via the one cell is to be deactivated and re-activated, respectively; and communication on the one cell is deactivated and is re-activated communication at the determined first and second subframe. | 2015-08-13 |
