Through the method, device, and system provided in embodiments of the present invention, the uplink carrier frequencies are managed, so as to facilitate transmission of uplink data during multi-cell collaboration. | 2016-03-17 |
20160081084 | UPLINK SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNALS FOR MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATIONS (MTC) USER EQUIPMENT (UE) - According to some embodiments, a method of operating a wireless device in a wireless system comprises allocating a first uplink sub-channel to the wireless device in a first subframe associated with the wireless device. The first uplink sub-channel comprises a portion of an uplink system bandwidth, and portions of the uplink system bandwidth outside of the first uplink sub-channel are not available for transmission in the first subframe by the wireless device. The method further comprises determining a first sounding reference signal (SRS) sub-channel. The first SRS sub-channel comprises a portion of the first uplink sub-channel in frequency domain, and the SRS sub-channel is available for transmitting SRS in the first subframe by the wireless device. | 2016-03-17 |
20160081085 | METHOD FOR ALLEVIATING HIDDEN NODE PROBLEM IN WLAN SYSTEM - Disclosed is a method for alleviating a hidden node problem in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system. A method for detecting a hidden node comprises the steps of: configuring a first restricted access interval used for a plurality of terminals transmitting a hidden node detection frame; configuring a second restricted access interval used for a plurality of terminals transmitting a hidden node report frame generated on the basis of an HND frame; generating a beacon including configuration information of the first restricted access interval and configuration information of the second restricted access interval; and transmitting the generated beacon. Accordingly, a terminal in a hidden node relation can be detected. | 2016-03-17 |
20160081086 | INFORMATION OUTPUT DEVICE AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An information output device includes an acquisition unit (control unit) and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires, from a communication terminal, information on a use period of the communication terminal through communication therewith. The output unit outputs information based on the acquired information on the use period. An information output method includes a step of acquiring, from a communication terminal, information on a use period of the communication terminal through communication therewith and a step of outputting information based on the information on the use period. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program according to an embodiment of the present invention executes a function to acquire, from a communication terminal, information on a use period of the communication terminal through communication therewith and a function to output information based on the information on the use period. | 2016-03-17 |
