`CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
`
`[0001]
`
`This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.
`
`61/726,871 filed November 15, 2012, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference
`
`herein.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`[0002]
`
`When a wireless system operates in a secondary fashion in dynamic shared
`
`spectrum (DSS), it may allow usage of the spectrum to a system which has a higher usage
`
`priority for the spectrum. Such higherpriority systems may include primary users (PU) in
`
`Television White Space (TVWS), or Licensed Shared Access (LSA) incumbents in case of the
`
`spectrum under the LSA regime.
`
`[0003]
`
`To operate in DSS such as TVWS,the devices(e.g., complying with regulatory
`
`requirements) may benefit by gaining access to free channels.
`
`In majorcities that have limited
`
`or no TVWSchannels available, sensing only operation may becomeessential as a means to gain
`
`access to more channels. Below roofline deployments, for example, may benefit from the
`
`isolation brought by the urban landscape from the digital TV (DTV)transmitters. Further,
`
`indoor deployments may benefit from the indoor penetration loss.
`
`In this context, sensing only
`
`operation may comply with specific requirements on Spectrum Sensing allowing a smallcell
`
`network to make use of a PU-assigned channel. The PU-Assigned channel(e.g., assigned to a
`
`primary user) may require a secondary user (SU) to leave the channel, if the primary useris
`
`detected. Similarly, the LSA regime mayensure the protection of the LSA incumbentto
`
`interference from the LSAlicensee, as well as a guarantee that the LSA incumbent has
`
`prioritized access to the spectrum that the incumbent ownsand sublicenses. The connected
`
`-|f-
`

`
`

`

`WO2014/078676
`
`PCT/US2013/070338
`
`mode mechanisms maybe neededto provide support for PU detection, reporting and/or channel
`
`evacuation, e.g., when a system operates on DSSspectrum in a secondary fashion.
`
`SUMMARYOFTHE INVENTION
`
`[0004]
`
`Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described for channel evacuation of a
`
`shared spectrum channel. In shared spectrum, a secondary user system may use spectrum. The
`
`spectrum may beutilized and/or controlled by an incumbent system. A secondary user base
`
`station may provide one or more secondary user wireless transmit receive unit (WTRUs) access
`
`to a shared spectrum channel. The secondary user base station may include, but not limited to, a
`
`licensed shared access (LSA)licensee base station, a TVWSbasestation, a dynamic shared
`
`spectrum access point and/orthe like.) The secondary user base station may receive an
`
`evacuation message indicating a need for the secondary userbase station and WTRUsto
`
`evacuate the shared spectrum channel. The evacuation message may include an alternate
`
`channel for use by the secondary user WTRUs. The evacuation message may include a system
`
`evacuation message. The secondary userbasestation may receive the evacuation message from
`
`a database entity or a broker entity. The secondary user base station may checkthe status of a
`
`shared spectrum channel with a database or a broker to determine the need to evacuate the shared

`spectrum channel. The secondary user may receive an evacuation messagein response to the
`
`shared spectrum channelstatus check.
`
`[0005]
`
`The secondary user base station may receive the evacuation message from a
`
`managemententity, e.g., based on a pre-determined channel evacuation time. The pre-
`
`determined channel evacuation time may be based on an agreement between an incumbent
`
`system operator and a secondary user operator. The allowable use of the channel by the
`
`secondary system maybe periodic. The evacuation time may re-occur one or more times. The
`
`pre-determined evacuation time may be based on an allowed time for the use of the shared
`
`spectrum channel by the secondary user WTRUs. The shared spectrum channel may be an LSA
`
`channel.
`
`[0006]
`
`The secondary user base station may coordinate channel evacuation of the shared
`
`spectrum channelin response to the evacuation message. The secondary userbase station may
`
`send an evacuation complete message to an incumbentuser(e.g., an incumbentbasestation).
`
`The incumbent user maybe the primary user (PU). The evacuation complete message may
`
`indicate to the incumbentuser that the evacuation of the shared spectrum channel has been
`
`completed. The system evacuation message may comprise an X2 messagereceived via an X2
`
`interface. The secondary userbase station may selecta targetcell, e.g., based on at least one of

`
`an event notification, a secondary user WTRU measurementreport, or an neighborrelational
`
`table (NRT) entry. The secondary user base station may send a handoverrequestto the target
`
`cell.
`
`[0007]
`
`The secondary user base station may send a measurement event configuration to
`
`the secondary user WTRUs. The measurement event configuration may includeat least one of a

`
`associated with an incumbent user. The secondary user WTRU’s maybeaskedto trigger an
`
`event notification to the secondary userbasestation, e.g., when the PLMNIDis detected

`
`[0008]
`
`A secondary user WTRU maydetect an incumbentuser(e.g., operating on the
`
`shared spectrum channel). The secondary user WTRU mayreceive an incumbent detection
`
`measurementconfiguration. The incumbent detection measurement configuration may include
`
`an incumbentcell identifier (ID) (e.g., one or more of a physicalcell identifier (PCT) or a PLMN
`
`ID) associated with the incumbentuser.
`
`[0009]
`
`The secondary user WTRU maydetect whether an incumbentuseris present on a
`
`shared spectrum channel, e.g., based on the incumbent detection measurementconfiguration.
`
`The secondary user WTRU maysenda detection message upon detection of the incumbentuser.
`
`The detection message maybesent via an uplink incumbentuser detection media access control
`
`(MAC)control element (CE)or via a radio resource control (RRC) message. The detection
`
`message may include an event notification. The event notification may indicate the presence of
`
`the incumbent user. The secondary user WTRU mayreceive an evacuation message from the
`
`secondary userbasestation in response to the detection message.
`
`[0010]
`
`The secondary user WTRU mayreceive a reconfiguration message in response to
`
`the detection message. The reconfiguration message may include anidentification of a target
`
`cell. The secondary user WTRU mayupdate its radio resource configuration based on the
`
`received reconfiguration message. The secondary user WTRU maysenda reconfiguration
`
`complete messageto the target cell.
`
`[0011] The secondary user WTRU maystart a timer with a value upon the detection of the
`
`incumbent user. The value of the timer maybe assigned in such a way to stagger the connection
`
`request. The secondary user WTRU maysend a connection request to a target cell upon an
`
`expiry of the timer.

`
`The secondary user WTRU maystart a timer with a value upon the detection of
`
`the incumbent user. The secondary user WTRU maystop the timer, e.g., upon a condition that a
`
`handover commandora release commandis received before an expiry of the timer. The
`
`secondary user WTRU mayattemptto establish a connection based on the handover commandor
`
`the release command. Different timer values may be used to stagger the re-establishment
`
`attempts for the secondary user WTRUs.
`
`[0013]
`
`The secondary user WTRU mayreceive a connection release message(e.g., via a
`
`downlink MAC CE)in responseto the evacuation message. The connection release message
`
`may indicate the presence of the incumbentuseras a release cause.

`
`A detailed description of illustrative embodiments will now be described with
`
`reference to the various figures. Although this description provides a detailed example of
`
`possible implementations, it should be noted that the details are intended to be exemplary and in
`
`no waylimit the scope of the application.
`
`In addition, the figures mayillustrate flow charts,
`
`which are meant to be exemplary. Other embodiments may be used. The order of the messages
`
`may be varied where appropriate. Messages may be omitted if not needed, and, additional flows
`
`may be added.
`
`[0045]
`
`FIG. 1A is a diagram of an example communications system 100 in which one or
`
`more disclosed embodiments may be implemented. The communications system 100 may be a
`
`multiple access system that provides content, such as voice, data, video, messaging, broadcast,
`
`etc., to multiple wireless users. The communications system 100 may enable multiple wireless
`
`users to access such content through the sharing of system resources, including wireless
`
`bandwidth. For example, the communications systems 100 may employ one or more channel
`
`access methods, such as code division multiple access (CDMA),time division multiple access
`
`(TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA),single-
`
`carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA),andthelike.
`
`[0046]
`
`As shownin FIG. 1A, the communications system 100 may include wireless
`
`transmit/receive units (WTRUs) 102a, 102b, 102c, and/or 102d (which generally or collectively
`
`maybereferred to as WTRU 102), a radio access network (RAN) 103/104/105, a core network
`
`106/107/109, a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 108, the Internet 110, and other
`
`networks 112, though it will be appreciated that the disclosed embodiments contemplate any
`
`number of WTRUs,basestations, networks, and/or network elements. Each of the WTRUs102a,
`
`102b, 102c, 102d maybe any type of device configured to operate and/or communicate in a
`
`wireless environment. By way of example, the WTRUs102a, 102b, 102c, 102d may be
`
`configured to transmit and/or receive wireless signals and may include user equipment (UE), a
`
`mobile station, a fixed or mobile subscriber unit, a pager, a cellular telephone, a personaldigital
`
`assistant (PDA), a smartphone,a laptop, a netbook, a personal computer, a wireless sensor,
`
`consumerelectronics, and thelike.
`
`[0047]
`
`The communications systems 100 may also include a basestation 114a and a base
`
`station 114b. Each ofthe base stations 114a, 114b may beanytype of device configured to
`
`one or more communication networks, such as the core network 106/107/109, the Internet 110,
`
`-6-

`
`

`

`WO2014/078676
`
`PCT/US2013/070338
`
`and/or the networks 112. By way of example, the base stations 114a, 114b may be a base
`
`transceiver station (BTS), a Node-B, an eNode B, a Home Node B, a Home eNode B,a site
`
`controller, an access point (AP), a wireless router, and the like. While the base stations 1 14a,
`
`114b are each depicted as a single element, it will be appreciated that the base stations 1 14a,
`
`114b may include any numberofinterconnected base stations and/or network elements.
`
`[0048]
`
`The base station 114a may bepart of the RAN 103/104/105, which may also
`
`(BSC), a radio network controller (RNC), relay nodes, etc. The base station 114a and/or the base
`
`station 114b may be configured to transmit and/or receive wireless signals within a particular
`
`geographic region, which maybereferred to as a cell (not shown). The cell may further be
`
`dividedinto cell sectors. For example, the cell associated with the base station 114a may be
`
`divided into three sectors. Thus, in one embodiment, the base station 114a may include three
`
`transceivers, i.e., one for each sector of the cell.
`
`In another embodiment, the basestation 114a
`
`may employ multiple-input multiple output (MIMO)technology and, therefore, may utilize
`
`multiple transceivers for each sectorofthe cell.
`
`[0049]
`
`The base stations 114a, 114b may communicate with one or more of the WTRUs
`
`102a, 102b, 102c, 102d overanair interface 115/116/117, which maybe any suitable wireless
`
`communication link (e.g., radio frequency (RF), microwave, infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV),
`
`visible light, etc.). The air interface 115/116/117 may be established using any suitable radio
`
`include other base stations and/or network elements (not shown), such as a basestation controller
