One implementation generates a wireless frame to include a first indication of a service set identifier of the access point, and a second indication of a format of the first indication. The frame is then transmitted on a wireless medium. In some aspects, the first indication is a hash of a service set identifier of the access point, for example, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value of the service set identifier. | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160165520 | Release-Independent Modifications of Network Parameters - A UE transmits a radio access capability to a base station. The radio access capability is transmitted via an information element that comprises a bitmap in which a bit has a value that indicates, to the base station, support of a modification to at least one of a maximum power reduction or a spectrum emission requirement. According to embodiments, the base station manages the UE based on the supported modification. Such managing of the UE may include, for example, one or more of admission control, imposing scheduling restrictions, and imposing handover restrictions. | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160165521 | METHOD OF TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING CELL INFORMATION BY USING SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL AND DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME - The present invention relates to a wireless access system, and provides a method of transmitting and receiving cell information by using a synchronization signal in a small-cell layout environment and a device supporting the same. A method of transmitting cell information in a wireless access system as an embodiment of the present invention may include the steps of: configuring one or more pieces of cell information by means of a base station; configuring a downlink synchronization signal including one or more pieces of cell information by means of the base station; and broadcasting the downlink synchronization signal by means of the base station. In this case, the cell information is configured to be information different from the downlink synchronization information configured based on the downlink synchronization signal. | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160165522 | Session Setup In An Energy-Efficient Cellular Wireless Telecommunications System - The present invention provides a random access procedure for establishment of a data connection between a terminal and a SA-cell in an energy-efficient network, such as e.g. a BCG2 network, wherein the total session setup time is shortened. An information request message (IRM) transmission from the mobile terminal is used for selecting the SA-cell that will serve the mobile terminal (i.e. set-up a data session with this SA-cell) and is simultaneously used for performing a ‘contention-free-like’ random-access procedure towards all candidate SA-cells. In this way performing a RACH | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160165523 | IMPLEMENTING AN ACCESS CONTROLLER POOL - According to an example, in an AC pool including a MAC and a plurality of LACs registered on the MAC, after a first LAC is registered on the MAC, the MAC issues a first traffic rule to the first LAC, wherein the first traffic rule redirects a discovery packet sent from an AP to the MAC. When receiving the discovery packet sent from the AP or receiving a discovery packet sent from the AP and forwarded via a LAC, the MAC selects, from a plurality of the LACs, a second LAC for handling the AP. The MAC generates a second traffic rule associated with the AP and the second LAC, and issue the second traffic rule to a plurality of the LACs, so that when another LAC receives a communication tunnel protocol packet sent from the AP, the other LAC redirects the communication tunnel protocol packet to the second LAC. | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160165524 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RECEIVING DATA UNIT - Method and device for receiving a data unit are disclosed. A method for receiving a PPDU including a PPDU header and a data field of an STA may comprise the step of: an STA receiving the PPDU header from an AP; the STA determining whether the PPDU transfers a scanning frame on the basis of the PPDU header; and the STA determining whether to decode the data field on the basis of whether to perform a scanning procedure and whether the PPDU transfers the scanning frame. | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160165525 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SPECTRAL SCANNING WITHIN A NETWORK - In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a spectral scanning controller configured to interrupt service at a wireless access point (WAP) such that the WAP performs spectral scanning during service interruption. The spectral scanning controller is configured to interrupt service at the WAP at a first scanning frequency when the spectral scanning controller is in a first configuration. The spectral scanning controller is configured to interrupt service at the WAP at a second scanning frequency different from the first scanning frequency when the spectral scanning controller is in a second configuration. The spectral scanning controller is configured to move from the first configuration to the second configuration in response to a change in at least one of a service demand, a service quality, a spectral scanning demand or a spectral scanning quality. | 2016-06-09 |
| 20160165526 | Method and Apparatus for Providing Access to a Packet Data Network - An access point supports communication in a femto cell of a cellular communication network. The access point comprises transceiver circuitry arranged to enable communication with at least one wireless communication unit located within the femto cell, and a signal processing logic module comprising an access point controller interface logic module arranged to enable communication between the access point and an access point controller. The signal processing logic module further comprises a gateway logic module arranged to provide an interface between the at least one wireless communication unit located within the femto cell and a packet data network. | 2016-06-09 |
