The operation method includes generating a legacy preamble, generating a high efficiency (HE) preamble including at least one HE-signal (HE-SIG) field, a HE-short training field (HE-STF), and at least one HE-long training field (HE-LTF), and generating a HE physical layer convergence procedure protocol data unit (HE-PPDU) including the legacy preamble and the HE preamble. Therefore, performance of WLAN can be enhanced. | 2016-01-21 |
20160021569 | Apparatus and Method to Reduce Denial of Service During MME Overload and Shutdown Conditions - A communication device configured to perform a load balancing procedure in response to a mobility management entity being overloaded and/or shut down. The base station can be configured to generate a radio resource control (RRC) Connection Reject message including a load balancing clause. The communication device can be configured to initiate a load balancing procedure based on the RRC Connection Reject message. The communication device can also be considered to initiate a load balancing procedure after a predetermined wait time has expired and/or after a predetermined number of received RRC Connection Reject messages. | 2016-01-21 |
20160021570 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING OFFLOADABILITY INFORMATION TO A USER-EQUIPMENT (UE) - Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of providing offloadability information to a User Equipment (UE). For example, a core network (CN) may provide to the UE Packet Data Network (PDN) offloadability information corresponding to one or more PDN connections of the UE, the PDN offloadability information indicating which PDN connection of the one or more PDN connections is able to be offloaded to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). | 2016-01-21 |
20160021571 | INTERFREQUENCY AND INTER-TECHNOLOGY NEIGHBOR PLANNING ON A SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORK - In an example, a self-organizing network (SON) provides automated interfrequency load balancing for a base station such as a NodeB. The NodeB may provide a plurality of carriers, such as in a plurality of UARFCN frequencies, and the SON may provide configuration directives for increasing efficiency. For example, when one carrier becomes loaded, the SON may update neighbor associations to take advantage of relatively unloaded frequency carriers. A plurality of scenarios S may be provided, and a policy P may be defined for each. When the NodeB encounters a scenario S, SON may send configuration directives to implement policy P. Similar concept and policy could be applied in conjunction with INTER Technology Neighbor Definitions between LTE and UMTS and UMTS and GSM. Example if GSM Frequency Neighbors needs to be replaced with different Frequency Neighbors from UMTS based on Load or RF conditions. | 2016-01-21 |
