20110069630 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING COOPERATIVE SPECTRUM USAGE AMONG MULTIPLE RADIO NETWORKS - An approach is provided for cooperatively sharing spectrum. A threshold value associated with an acceptable level of interference to a first radio network is determined. A beacon message specifying the threshold value is generated for transmission from the first radio network to one or more nodes of a second radio network that is configured to exchange traffic for mobile services. The first radio network and the second radio network share spectral resources including adjacent bands for the respective radio networks, and the beacon message is used for controlling the level of interference to the first radio network caused by the one or more nodes of the second radio network. | 03-24-2011 |
20110106952 | METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR PROVIDING COORDINATION OF DEVICE TO DEVICE COMMUNICATION - An apparatus for providing coordination of device to device communication may include a processor. The processor is configured to communicate a request for a resource allocation to a network communication node ( | 05-05-2011 |
20110286401 | Method and Apparatus for Cognitive Radio Coexistence - In a non-limiting and exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for sharing secondary cognitive radio resource user related information. A coexistence node receives information on network properties associated with secondary cognitive radio resource users. An upload message is generated and sent, the upload message including for a secondary user database at least information on the received network properties associated with secondary cognitive radio resource users. A location-dependent network map including at least information on network properties is generated. The network map is sent to assist one or more secondary cognitive radio resource users. | 11-24-2011 |
20140038590 | SETUP OF DEVICE TO DEVICE CONNECTION - Disclosed are apparatus, methods and computer programs to establish device-to-device communications in a wireless network. A method includes sending an initiation message from a first device to initiate device-to-device communication with a second device; receiving a message indicating a request for setting up radio resources for device-to-device communication; sending a message to the second device, the message including a request to set up resources for device-to-device communication and, in response to establishing device-to-device communication with the second device using the resources, sending an acknowledgment that device-to-device communication is established. | 02-06-2014 |
20140357270 | MEASUREMENT CONFIGURATION - In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus, comprising: a receiver configured to receive a first message, the first message comprising an indication of a determination that a user equipment is in physical proximity of a first cell, at least one processor configured to determine whether the first cell is available to the user equipment, and the at least one processor being configured to, responsive to a determination the first cell is available to the user equipment, cause a second message to be transmitted to the user equipment, the second message comprising an instruction for the user equipment to perform at least one measurement to discover the first cell. | 12-04-2014 |
20150049721 | Method And Apparatus For Cognitive Radio Coexistence - In a non-limiting and exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for sharing secondary cognitive radio resource user related information. A coexistence node receives information on network properties associated with secondary cognitive radio resource users. An upload message is generated and sent, the upload message comprising for a secondary user database at least information on the received network properties associated with secondary cognitive radio resource users. A location-dependent network map comprising at least information on network properties is generated. The network map is sent to assist one or more secondary cognitive radio resource users. | 02-19-2015 |
20150050927 | SIGNALING SUPPORT FOR DEVICES WITH MULTIPLE AND/OR FLEXIBLE FORM FACTORS - Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for signaling support for devices with multiple and/or flexible form factors are provided. One method includes determining, by a device having multiple forms and associated with a network, a current form or a change in the form of the device, determining new parameters according to the determined current form of the device, and reporting the new parameters to the network. | 02-19-2015 |
20150092656 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RESOURCE ALLOCATION TO SUPPORT DEVICE TO DEVICE BROADCAST AND GROUPCAST - One embodiment is directed to a method comprising determining to initiate a session; sending a first message over a channel in a subframe dedicated for initiating sessions; and transmitting an information indicating the resource where the next transmission of the session will happen. | 04-02-2015 |
