DISCOVERING LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) ADVANCED IN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM BASE STATIONS

摘要

The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for transmitting discovery signaling from a base station. For example the method may include encoding a wireless fidelity (Wi Fi) beacon at the base station for transmission and transmitting the encoded Wi Fi beacon from the base station to one or more neighboring wireless nodes. The Wi Fi beacon is generated by a Wi Fi access point (AP) co located at the base station which is a long term evolution (LTE) or LTE advanced in unlicensed spectrum base station. As such other wireless nodes can discover the LTE or LTE advanced in unlicensed spectrum base station. Fig.1
