Method and apparatus at the physical and link layer for mobile communications
First Claim
1. In a cellular telecommunications network, a mobile station to receive offloaded data from multiple small-node devices, comprising:
- at least one macro-base-station-to-the-user-equipment (BS2UE) communication section to receive both control-plane data and first user-plane data from a base station over a wireless BS2UE communication link; and
a small-node-device-to-the-user-equipment (D2UE) communication section to receive second user-plane data from a server through a plurality of small-node devices using a wireless D2UE communication link,wherein the BS2UE communication section receives a first control-plane message from the base station over the wireless BS2UE communication link,wherein the D2UE communication section establishes the wireless D2UE communication link responsive to the first control-plane message;
and wherein the second user-plane data is scrambled by a sequence specific to the mobile station in the wireless D2UE communication link.

Abstract
In a cellular telecommunications network, a mobile communication system to offload data traffic from base stations to small-node devices, includes a radio base station, a plurality of small-node devices, a macro-base-station-to-the-small-node-device (BS2D) communication section configured to receive a first control-plane message from the radio base station over a BS2D communication link, a small-node-device-to-user-equipment (D2UE) communication section configured to transmit user-plane data to a user equipment over a wireless D2UE communication link established responsive to the first control-plane message, and a center small-node device. The center small-node device includes a buffer section, a backhaul communication section configured to receive the user-plane traffic data from a server over a backhaul link, and is configured to manage D2UE connections between the plurality of small-node devices and the mobile station, buffer data to be transmitted in downlink and uplink for the plurality of small-node devices, and conduct a link adaptation for the D2UE connections.
