LTE B UE ENHANCED NODE B UE AND METHOD FOR SELECTING CELL DISCOVERY SIGNALS IN LTE NETWORKS

摘要

Embodiments allow the selection of a discovery signal (DS) to be used to identify the eNB to the UE receiving the DS. The DS allows the UE to confirm the existence of the eNB and / or the cell identifier. The DS includes a plurality of other signals such as a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a cell specific reference signal (CRS), and / or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). The DS occasion includes a number of subframes in which selected signals including the DS are transmitted. The signals selected for the DS, their characteristics and properties, allow the UE to decode the cell identifier. DS occasions occur at specified periodicities.
