    Abstract: Techniques for transmitting information in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, information may be conveyed based on specific resources used to send a signal, e.g., a pilot. A pseudo-random function may receive the information to convey via the signal and possibly other information and may provide pseudo-random values, which may be used to select the resources to use to send the signal. In one design, a transmitter (e.g., a base station for a sector) may determine first information (e.g., a sector ID) to convey via a pilot and may also determine second information for absolute time (e.g. a pilot cycle index). The transmitter may determine resources (e.g., slots) to use to send the pilot based on the first and second information and possibly based further on a PN offset assigned to the sector. The transmitter may transmit the pilot in the determined resources.

    Abstract: Local breakout is provided by one or more nodes (e.g., a local access point and/or a local gateway) in a wireless network to facilitate access to one or more local services. In conjunction with local breakout, multiple IP points of presence relating to different levels of service may be provided for an access point. For example, one point of presence may relate to a local service while another point of presence may relate to a core network service. IP point of presence may be identified for an over-the-air packet to indicate a termination point for the packet. Also, different mobility management functionality may be provided at different nodes in a system whereby mobility management for a given node may be provided by a different node for different types of traffic. Thus, an access terminal may support multiple NAS instances. In addition, different types of paging may be provided for different types of traffic. Furthermore, messages associated with one protocol may be carried over another protocol to reduce complexity in the system.

    Abstract: In a converged communication network, IP data packet services are provide d by a core network to access terminals via radio access nodes (RAN). By pos itioning accounting report triggering closer to the usage, accuracy and comp rehensive of accounting is achieved, which can also reduce overhead burdens on the core network. Additional responsibility is given to an access gateway (AGW) between an enhanced base station (eBS) of the RAN and the core networ k that can reduce the volume and increase the accuracy of accounting message traffic to an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server of the core network. The AGW informs the eBS of accounting rules to be used in making air link records that are merged and formatted in accordance with an accounting protocol for sending to the AAA server, to address duration and v olume based accounting needs, postpaid and prepaid accounting types, and use r, service and flow based accounting categories.

    Abstract: In a communication system in which a gateway entity is linked to a plurality of infrastructure entities which in turn are operable to communicate with an access terminal, the access terminal needs first to establish a data attachment point (DAP) with one of the infrastructure entities. Handoff of the DAP from one infrastructure entity to another infrastructure entity is initiated by the access terminal. The access terminal weighs factors such as the link conditions with the various infrastructure entities, the time since the last DAP handoff, and time duration communicating with the current infrastructure entity before proceeding with the DAP handoff.

    Abstract: An automated neighbor discovery by a base station with the assistance of an access terminal are disclosed. An exemplary method includes receiving a first message from an access terminal based on detecting an identification signal by the access terminal from the first base station in a communication system. Determination whether the first base station is a known base station is then made. If the first base station is not known, a second message is transmitted to the access terminal requesting a network identification of the first base station. A third message from the access terminal is received in response to the second message including the requested network identification. A request for identification data is sent by the second base station to the first base station via a network link based on the network identification. Corresponding apparatus and other exemplary methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: In a communication system in which a mobile station accessing the main ne twork via a plurality of base stations, the mobile station can freely select any of the base stations as a forward link (FL) serving station. In additio n, the mobile station can also freely select another or the same base statio n as a reverse link (RL) serving station. The mobile station has stored in i ts memory a plurality of routes corresponding to the plurality of base stati ons, with each route dedicatedly assigned to a particular base station. Duri ng handoff of one base station to another as either the FL or the RL serving station, exchanged data packets are processed in the respective routes of t he base stations involved.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to providing adaptive encoding of real-time information in packet-switched wireless communication systems. In an embodiment, a rate-adaptation unit may be configured to receive local as well as end-to-end feedback information associated with data transmission (such as data delay, packet loss, transmit power headroom, channel condition, sector loading, the amount of buffered data, etc.) from a wireless access module in communication with wireless/wired networks, and adapt the real-time information encoding in accordance with such feedback information.

    Abstract: An application may be associated with an application endpoint (142, 144, 240) that is accessed via a wireless local area network (110, 120, 210, 220). In this disclosure, a wireless station (170, 270) may select and associated with one of a plurality of access points (110, 120, 210, 220) that provides better application throughput to the application endpoint (142, 144, 240). The application throughput may be based upon a combination of the wireless link rate (between the wireless station and the access point) as well as a measured application data rate (from the access point to the application endpoint). An access point may measure and advertise application data rates for a plurality of application endpoints (142, 144, 240), including one or more servers coupled to the local area network (122), a gateway (150) to a wide area network (160), and/or a server coupled to the wide area network.
