Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate processes for management and arbitration of dedicated mobile communication resources for mobile applications.SOLUTION: Mobile applications can be given a priority level that establishes importance with respect to one or more other mobile applications and at least one mobile resource. If competing applications attempt to access the mobile resource concurrently, access can be provided to an application having a higher priority level. Furthermore, control of a resource can be taken away from an application having lower priority in order to apply more control of the resource to a higher priority application. A privilege code of an application is verified prior to establishing control of the resource for the application, to mitigate a likelihood of inappropriate transfer of resources.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide efficient frequency assignment for mobile terminals in coexisting wireless communication systems.SOLUTION: The coexisting wireless communication systems comprise a macro communication system and a localized communication system. Two priority lists are defined, a first list comprising a first entry relating to the macro communication system and a second entry relating to the localized communication system, the first and second entries each listing at least one common frequency. Based on the first list, a mobile terminal uses communication protocols associated with the localized communication system.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for configuring quality of service (QoS) and utilizing radio resources for a call in a WLAN.SOLUTION: A station ensures that an access point in the WLAN is suitable for receiving service prior to performing registration to receive services via the WLAN. In another aspect, the station first requests radio resources for traffic flows, then requests radio resources for signaling flows, and sends signaling as best effort traffic if radio resources are not granted for the signaling flows. In yet another aspect, the station aggregates QoS for multiple applications and requests radio resources on the basis of the aggregated QoS.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for searching for other access points in the vicinity in order to restore wireless communication when an access terminal cannot be connected to an associated access point.SOLUTION: An access terminal scans for nearby access points and maintains a candidate list of access points with which the access terminal may associate in the case that communication with the current access point deteriorates for some reason. The search procedure may be executed in a proactive manner thereby the access terminal repeatedly executes scanning when power is supplied and updates the list of candidate access points. In some aspects, the search procedure used by the access terminal may be based on a state of a wireless device. Further, different states of the access terminal may be associated with different optimization criteria.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve mobility of wireless communication devices between one network domain and another network domain.SOLUTION: Services are moved seamlessly and in a reliable manner between a cellular domain and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) domain in order to minimize service disruption for an end user and provide requisite Quality of Service (QoS) for different applications. The invention provides various mechanisms useful for improving decision points related to when and what technology each service is expected to be associated with. The invention also provides better techniques for moving a wireless communication device between the cellular domain and the WLAN domain when in-traffic and when idle.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate adjusting allocation of carriers in wireless communications.SOLUTION: A mobile device establishes communication with a base station over a number of allocated carriers for simultaneous communication thereover. The mobile device experiences a decrease in power amplifier (PA) headroom causing dropping of at least one carrier and reports the dropping to the base station. The base station subsequently awaits a carrier request message from the mobile device before allocating additional carriers, or allocates an additional carrier on the basis of a determination that the mobile device can handle the new carrier. The mobile device transmits a carrier request message when the PA headroom returns to a threshold level.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for performing WLAN system scanning and selection.SOLUTION: A terminal performs multiple iterations of scan to detect WLAN systems. A scan list containing at least one WLAN system to be detected is initially determined. For each scan iteration, a scan type may be selected from among supported scan types. The selected scan type may indicate passive or active scan, frequency channels to be scanned, etc. The scan may be performed based on the selected scan type. Signal strength measurements are obtained for access points received during the scan period and used to identify detected access points. Candidates access points are identified based on the signal strength measurements for the detected access points and on a detection threshold. The best candidate access point is selected for association by the terminal.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for adjusting flow rate of transmissions received at a device. A user equipment (UE) determines, in response to detecting a trigger condition, a proposal to adjust feedback provided to a base station (BS) in order to adjust a flow rate of transmissions received at the UE from the BS. The UE adjusts the feedback based on the proposal and at least one additional condition and transmits the adjusted feedback to the BS.
