Abstract:
Tecnicas para procesar de manera eficiente canales de localizacion en un sistema de comunicacion inalambrico asincrono (100). En un aspecto, si las estaciones base (104 a, b, c.) no estan sincronizados entre ellas, y el tiempo de localizacion designado de la estacion remota (106), es diferente de estacion base a estacion fase, la terminal remota (106) se puede activar basada en la primera estacion base en una lista de busqueda de readquisicion (712) que incluye estaciones base candidatos con las cuales puede ser conectada la estacion remota. En otro aspecto, los criterios para seleccionar las estaciones base para la evaluacion como objetivos de readquisicion pueden estar basados en la potencia recibida (512) de las estaciones base, asi como su temporizacion (514), y ambos de las cuales se pueden hacer en relacion con aquellas de la estacion base preferida. Todavia en otro aspecto, la terminal remota puede activarse multiples veces en un ciclo de localizacion particular (por ejemplo, un ciclo del cuadro, o un ciclo DRX), si existen una o mas canales de localizacion en estaciones candidato a las cuales puede ser conectada la terminal remota.
Abstract:
A system and method (10) for facilitating wireless call connection to an emergency service. The system includes a mechanism for attempting a call to an emergency call center via a wireless service provider. The system monitors the availability of service (14) provided by the wireless service provider and automatically completes the call (16) if the service is or becomes available. In a specific embodiment, the system includes software for searching for a wireless service (18) through which an emergency call may be placed. The system repeatedly dials the phone number of the emergency call center until the call is completed. In the specific embodiment, the software for repeatedly dialing 911 includes silent-redial (30) software.
Abstract:
Techniques to efficiently process paging channels in an asynchronous wireless communication system. In one aspect, if the base stations are not synchronized with each other and a remote terminal's designated page time is different from base station to base station, the remote terminal can wake up based on the earliest base station in a reacquisition search list that includes candidate base stations to which the remote terminal may be handed off. In another aspect, the criteria to select base stations for evaluation as reacquisition targets may be based on the received power of the base stations as well as their timing, both of which may be made relative to that of a preferred base station. In yet another aspect, the remote terminal may wake up multiple times in a particular paging cycle (i.e., a frame cycle or a DRX cycle) if there are one or more candidates base station to which the remote terminal may be handed off.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are presented to optimize the likelihood of a successful acquisition of frame timing information of an asynchronous base station by providing a mechanism that copes with short-term degradations caused by a dynamic radio environment. An acquisition search is performed in a plurality of stages, wherein a declaration indicating a failure at a stage is delayed through the use of a verification stage. The verification stage can be repeated a variable number of times. The number of repetitions of the verification stage can be dependent upon the stage at which the failure occurred. Declaration of failure occurs only after the predetermined number of verification searches have been performed.
