AT&T, Intel, IBM target safer Smart Cities with LTE sensors
- Sabrina Dougall 10th January 2018
Technology must make our lives safer, our communications faster, our cities better places to live in. Those are the views of the world’s largest telecommunications company AT&T, which this week bolstered its smart cities vision with a remote LTE-based monitoring system for rails and roads.
As part of its ongoing Smart Cities initiative, AT&T this week launched its digital infrastructure solution, which will attach LTE-enabled sensors to monitor cracks and tilts, sending alert triggers automatically when significant events are detected.
AT&T joined forces with Cisco, Deloitte, Ericsson, GE, IBM, Intel, and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to support its network systems, after launching its Smart Cities project in 2015. Since then, the US-based conglomerate established spotlight cities in Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta, the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Sand extraction compromised the stability of Hintze Ribeiro bridge in Portugal, leading to its total collapse in 2001 when a bus drove over it during a storm. Cars plummeted into the fast-flowing river and 59 people lost their lives in the disaster. The concrete and steel structure was over one hundred years old and yet nothing was done to prevent the tragedy occurring.
Today’s bridges are still monitored for safeness using intermittent visual inspections by human experts. With rampant urbanisation characterising the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, almost half of bridges in the US are now more than 50 years old. Hard-to-access structures throw up difficulties for regular safety checks, and an overload of data can all-too-often leave governing bodies overwhelmed with unstructured information. Urban citizens are left waiting for the next Grenfell tower scenario.
“Safety is a top concern of citizens and cities alike. This concern extends beyond the realm of crime and natural disasters. It also includes the safety of our infrastructure,” said Mike Zeto, general manager of AT&T Smart Cities. “We’re pleased to test this solution, which will allow for smart infrastructure analysis and monitoring.
Monitoring solutions such as those from AT&T should vastly improve safety and planning in urban developments of the future. Governments and organisations will be able to remotely monitor the physical conditions of structures, with computers alerting human controllers to anomalies presenting potential risk to life. In the long-term, hundreds if not thousands or millions of lives could be saved from building collapse tragedies. In addition, the need for fewer human inspections could lower operational costs.

AT&T Drops Huawei’s New Smartphone Amid Security Worries
By PAUL MOZUR JAN.9, 2018
SHANGHAI — With an advanced screen, a special artificial-intelligence microchip and an eye-popping price, the newest smartphone from Huawei Technologies was meant to show Americans what China can do with technology.
Instead, Huawei’s push to sell the phone in the United States has suddenly lost a powerful backer — and the push has attracted some unwanted scrutiny from Washington.
AT&T walked away from a deal to sell the Huawei smartphone, the Mate 10, to customers in the United States just before the partnership was set to be unveiled, two people familiar with the plans said on Tuesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the discussions were not public. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that AT&T had changed plans.
The reasons that led to AT&T’s shift were not entirely clear. But last month, a group of lawmakers wrote a letter to the Federal Communications Commission expressing misgivings about a potential deal between Huawei and an unnamed American telecommunications company to sell its consumer products in the United States. It cited longstanding concerns among some lawmakers about what they said were Huawei’s ties to the Chinese government.
The letter, which was reviewed by The New York Times, said Congress had “long been concerned about Chinese espionage in general, and Huawei’s role in that espionage in particular.”

U.S. Panel Calls Huawei and ZTE ‘National Security Threat’ OCT. 8, 2012
AT&T, meanwhile, faces its own challenges in the United States. The Justice Department in November sued to block the company’s $85.4 billion bid for Time Warner, a merger that would create a media and telecommunications behemoth with the ability to reach consumers through a wide variety of means.
Huawei has been counting on the Mate 10 to compete with Apple’s high-end iPhones, in a test of the potential appeal of a Chinese brand in the American market. While Huawei has long sold budget phones, some Mate 10 versions cost $900 or more without subsidies from phone carriers.
Huawei sells smartphones in the United States, but it does not have smartphone deals with any of the major wireless carriers in the country. Those carriers — Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile — dominate the market, making it more difficult for Huawei to get a foothold in the country. The AT&T deal was supposed to cement the company’s status as a top maker of the devices, alongside Apple and Samsung Electronics of South Korea.
Congressional misgivings about the company’s close relationship with the Chinese government have long plagued Huawei. Already, other major telecommunications companies refuse to buy the equipment Huawei makes for telecommunications networks — its core business — because of worries in Washington over security.
In the letter, the lawmakers said Huawei had ties to the Chinese Communist Party, as well as to the country’s intelligence and security services, and they accused Huawei of disregarding intellectual property. In particular, the letter implies that the deal with AT&T could more firmly establish Huawei phones in the United States, and ultimately open up the possibility of American government officials using them.
Analysts said the political opposition to Huawei was not surprising. Leaders in China and the United States view technology made in the other country with suspicion. In policy guidance and speeches, Chinese officials have repeatedly called for technology made by American companies to be replaced by locally produced ones. Beijing has also widely blocked major American internet companies from offering products in the country.
American lawmakers have stated their suspicions before. In 2012, a House Intelligence Committee report said two Chinese companies, including Huawei, were a threat to United States national security.
For a Chinese company that has pushed hard to become a recognized multinational player, the setback is only one of many in the United States. Huawei is also under investigation by the Treasury and Commerce Departments over whether it broke American trade sanctions against countries including Iran and North Korea. Huawei says it is committed to complying with the law.
While the letter did not mention AT&T, its pending deal to sell the Huawei smartphone in the United States had been widely reported.
Fletcher Cook, a spokesman for AT&T, declined to comment.
Huawei, a private company, has long denied that it presents security risks. In a statement, Huawei said it had delivered “premium devices with integrity globally and in the U.S. market” over the past five years, adding that it would introduce new products for the American market on Tuesday.
The last-minute disruption is the latest in a long line of setbacks for Huawei, which has struggled for years with political opposition to its efforts to tap the hugely valuable United States market. More broadly, it underscores a deepening political rift over issues of technology, user privacy and security — a rift that adds to a brewing trade dispute between the world’s two largest economies.
Just a week ago, an affiliate of the Alibaba Group in China dropped a $1.2 billion proposal to acquire MoneyGram, after a United States panel that reviews foreign takeovers did not endorse it. The deal drew heavy criticism from lawmakers over the possibility of Chinese access to American user data, despite assurances from the Chinese company that it would take steps to make the data more secure.

Method and apparatus for transmit power control for multiple antenna transmissions in the uplink
Abstract
Techniques for transmit power control for multiple antenna transmissions in an uplink are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) generates at least one input stream for transmission and applies a gain factor to each channel. The gain factor is determined based on a reference channel power estimate. The WTRU generates at least two data streams from the input stream for transmission via a plurality of antennas and applies weights to the data streams. The gain factor and/or the weights are controlled such that a transmit power on each antenna is within a maximum allowed value. The WTRU may perform power scaling on a condition that a transmit power on any antenna exceeds the maximum allowed value. The WTRU may scale down an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH) first before other channels. For multiple E-DCH streams, the WTRU may calculate an E-DPDCH power offset based on an additional power offset factor due to multiple stream transmission.

Method and apparatus for selectively enabling reception of downlink signaling channels
Abstract
In a wireless communication system including a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and at least one Node-B, a method and apparatus is used to selectively enable reception of at least one downlink (DL) enhanced uplink (EU) signaling channel established between the WTRU and the Node-B(s). During the operation of an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH), the WTRU monitors at least one DL EU signaling channel established between the WTRU and the Node-B(s) only when it is necessary, based on the WTRU's knowledge of at least one established standard procedure. The WTRU coordinates and consolidates DL signaling channel reception requirements of a plurality of channel allocation and/or data transmission procedures carried out by the WTRU in accordance with the established standard procedure. The WTRU determines whether to enable reception of at least one specific DL signaling channel based on the consolidated DL signaling channel reception requirements.

Think horizontally to unlock the huge potential of connected devices, says oneM2M
01/08/18, 08:25 AM | Automation & Control
Visit https://www.realwire.com/releases/Think-horizontally-to-unlock-the-huge-potential-of-connected-devices for further information
Las Vegas, USA, 8 January 2018: Smart wearables, connected cars and machines, consumer electronics and smart city deployments will only deliver true value to consumers if there is a horizontal linking of data, oneM2M's Technical Plenary Chair Dr. Omar Elloumi warned today.
Speaking ahead of CES, where thousands of the latest Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets will be showcased, Elloumi highlighted how many devices are connected to a proprietary cloud that provides services based on the data of the wearable itself.
"As consumer demand for smart devices continues to surpass expectations, it is more vital than ever that device makers understand the importance of a horizontal standards-based approach when defining their strategies for the IoT," he said. "Working in this manner will allow them to bring multiple devices from various industries on to the same platform, sharing data that will ultimately improve the end-user experience and security."
The oneM2M standard provides a universal framework for IoT deployments, including those in the rapidly growing global connected car industry, giving a blueprint for a horizontal platform consisting of a common service layer to allow every component to communicate.
Two companies that have adopted oneM2M standards are Toyota and KDDI, which have set out their visions for the IoT by explaining how a horizontal cross-vertical linking of data can increase value for consumers.
"The oneM2M standard harmonises data models for vehicular applications, giving us the power to offer a cross-vertical and multi-vendor interoperability authentication of each application or device," said Nick Yamasaki, Senior Expert, Industry Standards Department, Technical Planning Division at KDDI. "KDDI's IoT vision for consumers on a global scale has oneM2M at its core, increasing benefits for manufacturers and consumers safely and securely."
That view is shared by Dr. Ryokichi Onishi, Network Group Leader at Toyota InfoTechnology Center, which works on the oneM2M standard for the connected car platform.
"The use of M2M technology for our customers has never been simple - it includes a wide range of functions and we can offer them effectively through oneM2M standards," said Onishi. "Making different devices and servers universally interoperable through a standards-based approach greatly improves the value data sharing brings to end-users in a secure and controlled manner."
Elloumi concluded: "Toyota's and KDDI's outlooks clearly illustrate how IoT services can bring additional benefits to customers in terms of convenience and safety, through carefully coordinated structures unified by the same standards. All of this is only possible once devices from different verticals and different vendors begin to communicate among each other, in a safe and secure way."
The growing trend towards open standards in the automotive industry has also been illustrated in the recent work of the European Union's AUTOPILOT Horizon 2020 project, which leverages the oneM2M standard to collect CCTV data and data produced by connected cars to help deliver a 360º awareness of potential hazards, increasing safety for all.
Deutsche Telekom and Orange also revealed their use of oneM2M last year when the companies announced their joint initiative on oneM2M-based cloud APIs for Smart Home and consumer IoT. Other companies using oneM2M include SK Telecom, LG Uplus, InterDigital and ZTE and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for its Universal IoT platform which will be used in Tata Communications' IoT network to serve more than 2,000 communities.

Microsoft Selling Surface Pro With LTE Advanced to Consumers
By: Pedro Hernandez | January 02, 2018
Briefly available only to business customers, Surface Pro with LTE Advanced is now available to consumers through Microsoft online store and from certain brick-and-mortar outlets.
Consumers can now purchase a Surface Pro with cellular connectivity, a configuration that was previously reserved for Microsoft's business customers.
In December 2017, Microsoft began offering commercial customers its new Surface Pro tablet with an LTE Advanced option, allowing users to stay connected on the road as long as they receive a cell signal from a compatible wireless service provider.
Microsoft claims this Surface Pro is the fastest LTE-enabled device in its class, reaching download speeds of 450 Mbps compared to the 300 Mbps speeds of its rivals.
But It turns out that consumers didn't have to wait long to buy one.
Microsoft quietly added the Windows 10 device, dubbed Commercial Microsoft Surface Pro with LTE Advanced, to its online store in the U.S., making it available to anyone with a valid credit card. Prices start at $1,149 for a model powered by an Intel i5 processor and with 128 GB of storage and 4GB of RAM. Another model, also featuring an Intel Core i5 processor, but with twice the storage capacity and RAM, is available for $1,449.
Demand appears to be brisk, at least in some configurations. As of this writing, both LTE configurations are sold out online, but they are available for in-store pickup in some brick-and-mortar Microsoft stores.
According to Microsoft's product listing, users can expect up to 13.5 hours of battery life. It's more than enough juice for a coast-to-coast flight, but soon a new class of Windows PCs will be able to last much longer between charges.
On Dec. 5, Microsoft was joined by Hewlett Packard (HP) and Asus at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Technology Summit in Maui, Hawaii to unveil "Always Connected PCs" powered by Arm-based processors. Windows PCs typically run on x86 processors from Intel and AMD
In the spring of 2018, HP plans to ship the Envy x2, which resembles Microsoft's own Surface Pro portable. Rather than pack an Intel chip, it is capable of running full Windows on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor that widely used in mobile phones. It also supports the 4G LTE-Advanced standard for high-speed connectivity over wireless networks, but it can deliver up to 20 hours of battery life or 700 hours in standby mode.
HP Envy x2 will run Windows 10 S, the education-focused version of the operating system that only supports apps from the Microsoft Store (formerly Windows Store). Users will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, but that's an irreversible process. HP will share pricing and mobile carrier support as its release date approaches.
Meanwhile, Asus is readying a 13.3-inch convertible laptop with 22 hours of battery life, the NovaGo.
Featuring a Qualcomm X16 LTE modem for speedy data transfers, the Taiwanese PC maker claims that the NovaGo is the "world's first Gigabit LTE laptop."
Its flash storage subsystem, with up to 256GB Universal Flash Storage 2.0 (UFS 2.0), can transfer data at a rate of up to 1,400Mbps, faster than standard SSDs, for snappy application performance and file operations.

Method and apparatus for implementing tracking area update and cell reselection in a long term evolution system
Abstract
The invention performs long term evolution (LTE) tracking area updates (TAUs), and tracking area code (TAC) and public land mobile network identification (PLMN-ID) assisted optimized wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) cell reselection. An evolved Node-B broadcasts system information including at least one system information block (SIB) based at least in part on an enhanced universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) parameter response message sent by an evolved packet core (EPC) network. A WTRU generates a new TAC, which represents a tracking area identification (TA-ID) of a new cell, based on the system information, and compares the new TAC to an existing TAC, which represents a TA-ID of a previous cell. The WTRU transmits to the EPC network a TAU request message including the TA-ID of the new cell. The EPC network sends either a TAU accept message or a TAU reject message to the WTRU.

Method and apparatus for performing a handover in an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network
Abstract
A method and an apparatus for performing a handover in an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) sends a measurement report to a source evolved Node B (eNB), and receives a handover command from the source eNB. The WTRU initiates reception and processing of a primary broadcast channel (P-BCH) at the target cell after receiving the handover command. The WTRU then sends a random access preamble to the target eNB, receives a random access response from the target eNB, and sends a handover complete message to the target eNB. The reception and processing of the P-BCH may be initiated immediately after receiving the handover command or after sending the handover complete message. The WTRU may apply default configuration or source cell configuration in the target cell until a target cell SFN and/or P-BCH information are acquired.

Interference management and interference alignment in wireless networks
Abstract
Interference mitigation (e.g., interference suppression and/or interference cancellation) in a wireless communications system may include interference alignment techniques. Interference alignment may be performed to concurrently mitigate the effects of multiple types of interference (e.g., inter-cell interference and intra-cell interference). Interference management using interference alignment may enhance spectral efficiency in an interference-limited communications system, such as a wireless communications system (e.g., a cellular system). Interference alignment techniques may be applied to a homogeneous wireless communications system (e.g., including one or macro base stations). Interference alignment techniques may be applied to a heterogeneous wireless communications system (e.g., including one or macro base stations and one or more overlaid low-power nodes, such as small cells, remote radio heads (RRHs), or the like).

We could see commercial 5G products as soon as next year
Written by Scott Bicheno
After years of probing, posturing and prognosticating the telecoms industry has committed to the first 5G New Radio standard.
At Mobile World Congress earlier this year the decision was unilaterally made, with some dissent, to fork the development of 5G NR into standalone and non-standalone versions. The apparent need for this fork was so that we could get on with the air interface part without having to wait for the core and all the attendant mind-boggling complexity to be finalised.
As a consequence, while much of the 5G core will have to wait until the middle of next year to reach its first standard ‘freeze’ (i.e. the work done so far is set in stone), we have been able to freeze the first standard for just the air interface component of 5G. Because this will still rely on the legacy 4G core it is referred to as non-standalone (NSA – not to be confused with the National Security Agency, or indeed No Strings Attached).
To get a better sense of the significance of this we spoke to Ulises Olvera-Hernandez of InterDigital, who is an active participant in the system architecture group of the 3GPP and has generally been elbows-deep in the 5G standardisation process from the start. “This is a very significant drop for the 5G specification,” he said.
“The physical and control layers are fully developed at this point. This is very significant because the base station and terminal chips can now be made. The radio will be pretty much the same between NSA and SA. The Summer 2018 release will bring the SA radio, which will mean the NSA radio we have just standardized will be able to connect to the new 5G core.”
As has been extensively covered, 5G is about a lot more than just more 4G – i.e. improved data rates. The world also wants 5G to enable massive IoT with technology that combines very low energy use with limitless scalability. And as if that’s not enough we also need 5G to offer the kind of robustness, efficiency and flexibility that will allow utopian use-cases such as autonomous vehicles and robotic surgery.
“This release includes something that is referred to as ‘ultra-reliable, low latency communications’,” said Olvera-Hernandez. “In simple terms this requires a new radio interface that is able to respond much quicker.” He also said the whole IoT aspect has not been covered in this release but will be addressed subsequently.
One other significance of this milestone is how it positions the 3GPP in the overall 5G standard mix. This stuff is ultimately adjudicated by the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) via its IMT2020 group and the deadline is looming. You can see the submission timeline below.
“This also prepares for the IMT2020 submission,” said Olvera-Hernandez. “3GPP will be one of the radio interface technologies that are proposed and the first submission is due in February 2018. So that is a key aspect of this release.”
But the most immediate and conspicuous consequence of freezing the 5G RAN standard will be the legitimization of the use of 5G by the marketing teams of any company even remotely associated with the telecoms world. They hardly need encouraging, of course, but the 5G spam we have had to endure to date will pale into insignificance compared with the deluge to come.
“Companies will now be able to say they have a 5G radio interface and that their core network is ‘5G ready’,” said Olvera-Hernandez. 5G ready. The phrase alone is enough to make those of us who earn a living by spending an unhealthy about of time banging on about phone stuff shudder in grim anticipation. We will probably see the first 5G ready claims as soon as everyone has got over their New Year hangovers but, more surprisingly, we might even see actual commercial products to back that claim up before the end of the year.
“I believe we will see 5G in the form of NSA in 2018,” said Olvera-Hernandez. “I think that towards the end of next year you will see commercial 5G products, as a year should be sufficient to make this happen. We will see voice carried in a better way in the 5G system than it has been with 4G because there has been a complete re-engineering of the quality-of-service aspects of 4G.”
The decision to go with NSA first seems pretty sensible on one level, but while it has sped up the process by which various telecoms industry stakeholders can legitimately claim to have 5G products and services, it also creates a separate set of complexities. The marketing frenzy is inevitable but it does risk setting unrealistic expectations, which will be exacerbated if the process of reconciling NSA with SA doesn’t go smoothly.
If all this has merely served to whet your appetite for telecoms technicalities you can have yourself a very geeky Christmas by reading this 3GPP brief introduction (!) to the 5G system architecture. On a lighter note we’ll leave you with this photo of the 3GPP architecture working group on the lash, having hit their milestone.

Method and apparatus for signaling the release of a persistent resource
Abstract
A method and apparatus for signaling the release of a persistent resource in long term evolution (LTE) are disclosed. An indication of the release of a downlink (DL) persistent resource is received by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) from an evolved Node-B (eNB) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). A positive acknowledgement (ACK) is transmitted by the WTRU which denotes that the indication has been received. The PDCCH or a medium access control (MAC) CE may be used by the eNB to signal the indication. At least one bit may be added to contents of the PDCCH to signal whether the PDCCH is for DL persistent or dynamic resource allocation. The DL persistent resource is then released and an indication that the DL persistent resource has been released is transmitted.

Method and system for reporting a short message capability via an IP multimedia subsystem
Abstract
A method and system for reporting short message (SM) capability over an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) using a session initiation protocol (SIP) are disclosed. A short message Internet Protocol gateway (SM-IP-GW) receives a registration request via session initiation protocol (SIP). The registration request may indicate a capability of a WTRU to receive Short Message Service (SMS) messages via an Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS). The SM-IP-GW transmits a successful registration message to a home location register (HLR) to indicate that a WTRU has successfully registered with the SM-IP-GW. Once the HLR is informed that a WTRU is successfully registered with the SM-IP-GW, SMS messages may be received and transmitted via the IMS using SIP.

Method and apparatus for performing device-to-device discovery
Abstract
Methods and apparatus for performing device-to-device (D2D) discovery are described. A service discovery process may include a discoverable device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) sending a discovery request, over a wireless connection, for a radio resource for the purpose of performing a transmission for radio frequency (RF) proximity detection for a given service. The WTRU may receive a discovery response including a configuration for RF proximity detection from a network, which configuration may be associated to the service. The configuration for RF proximity may be received by dedicated signaling, (e.g., physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)), in particular for a discoverable WTRU. The configuration for RF proximity may be received on a broadcast channel, (e.g., a discovery shared channel (DISCH)), in particular for a monitoring WTRU, and may include one or more service identities, each associated with an RF proximity detection configuration, or a validity information and a measurement configuration.
