A source cell can prepare a macro cell and a target small cell as handover candidates during handover decision making and/or preparation. The mobile device is informed about the prepared macro cell and target small cell using radio resource control (RRC) messaging. After receiving a handover command or detecting radio frequency (RF) loss, the mobile device can try to connect with the target small cell. If the mobile device is unable to connect to the target small cell, the UE can fall back and connect to the macro cell. | 2014-09-04 |
| 20140247812 | MIMO COMMUNICATION METHOD, TRANSMITTING DEVICE, AND RECEIVING DEVICE - A Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communication method and system for performing communication between N (N is an integer greater than or equal to 2) transmitting devices each having a transmit antenna and at least one receiving device having N receive antennas by using a multi-user MIMO scheme. The method includes dividing the N transmitting devices into a plurality of sets, and assigning an orthogonal code to each set of transmitting devices as a digital signal sequence to be transmitted by each of the transmitting devices, and arranging the digital signal sequences to be transmitted by the transmitting devices in a frequency axis direction in which an inverse fast Fourier transform is performed, and performing coding. | 2014-09-04 |
