Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for identification of a channel associated with a wireless data transmission.SOLUTION: A channel designated for transmission of a packet can be selected from among multiple usable channels, on the basis that a bit at a predefined location in the packet can be set to a logical value indicative of the selected channel. Furthermore, extraction of the logical value from the predefined location and identification of the corresponding channel can be performed by a recipient of the packet without requiring parsing of the message. A Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH) can be identified by setting a Logical Channel Identifier (LCID) bit in a DCCH packet to a predefined value. In another example, a Common Control Channel (CCCH) can be identified by embedding a Boolean constant within a message structure contained in a CCCH packet.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paging control method for DRX of mobile communication.SOLUTION: The paging controls can comprise paging occasions of a wireless signal determined from a formula based on an integer raised to the power of a function of constants (e.g., 2^K or 2^(K-L), where K and/or L are constant). Selected paging occasions can be grouped within the wireless signal, or distributed throughout a subset of time frames of the signal. Furthermore, paging groups can be assigned to each of the paging occasions by employing distinct identifiers of mobile device assigned to each paging occasion.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for managing a wireless communication handover operable in a wireless communication device.SOLUTION: When a handover failure occurs and/or is anticipated to occur, an optimized cell can be selected and user equipment can transfer to the optimized cell. This optimized cell can differ from a previous cell because of various factors such as anticipated interference and load balancing. Once a handover failure is identified, a cell can return to a previous frequency and an appropriate cell can be determined. Instruction that the cell should be used is determined by user equipment as well as from a network entity.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a base station which implements a method of transmitting a scheduling unit to a mobile device to enhance mobile device functionality.SOLUTION: To transmit the scheduling unit efficiently, information can be broken down into manageable units. The broken down units are organized into groups that enable the units to be sent as a function of available resources. Transmission can continue until a mobile device receives the scheduling unit, where re-organization is performed for a subsequent transmission.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for handling a signaling message that specifies transmission rate restrictions.SOLUTION: The method may include operating in a first state (402). The method may also include receiving a signaling message from a network (404). The signaling message may include activation time, transmission rate restrictions and control duration. The method may also include receiving a state transition trigger to operate in a second state (406). The method may also include determining a behavior of user equipment regarding the transmission rate restrictions upon receiving the state transition trigger (410, 412, 418).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve confusion resulting from assigning the same identifier to multiple nodes.SOLUTION: A network may provide a time gap during which an access terminal may temporarily cease monitoring transmissions from a source node so that the access terminal may acquire a unique identifier from a target node. An access terminal may commence handover operations at a target node after determining whether the access terminal is allowed to access the target node. A source node may prepare several target nodes for potential handover in the event confusion is detected or likely. The source node may send information relating to the preparation of the potential target nodes to the access terminal, and thereby the access terminal initiates handover at that target node.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methodologies that facilitate inter-eNode B handover.SOLUTION: Logical protocol termination can be implemented between user equipment and a target eNode for inter-eNode handover signaling. The provided handover forwarding and encapsulation mechanisms enable improved inter-operability between eNode Bs implementing different protocol versions from different vendors, which enables frequent protocol upgrades. Additionally, the invention enables the target eNode B to implement new radio configurations even if the radio configurations are unsupported by the source eNode B.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for addressing de-synchronization of the cryptsync between a network and mobile stations (eNB) that can occur at mobility.SOLUTION: De-synchronization is resolved by forwarding HFN and PDCP sequence number (s) from a source eNB to a target eNB. In order to avoid re-use of a crytosync for a given key, a backward offset from an initial count value is used by the target eNB. These approaches do not require an over-the-air signaling and count value handling in the network is transparent to a mobile station.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for radio resource management (RRM) measurement and reporting for license assisted access (LAA) cells operating in unlicensed or shared frequency spectrum are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an RRM measurement configuration including a channel occupancy parameter for measuring neighbor cells of a shared frequency band. The channel occupancy parameter may be used to determine a channel occupancy metric that may be sent to a base station for cell selection. The channel occupancy metric may include an averaged or filtered received signal strength and may be reported for serving cells and/or intra-frequency neighbor cells. A base station may further configure a UE with a discovery reference signals (DRS) measurement timing configuration (DMTC), which may include an extended DMTC search window. The UE may search for DRS transmissions from neighbor cells according to the DMTC.
