Abstract:
A wireless access node provides a wireless communication service to a plurality of wireless communication devices over a first frequency band class, where a set of the wireless communication devices are currently in idle mode. A node control system detects a condition for the first frequency band class, and in response, transitions a subset of the wireless communication devices that are currently in idle mode to a second frequency band class. The wireless access node then provides the wireless communication service to the subset of the wireless communication devices over the second frequency band class.
Abstract:
A plurality of candidate access terminals for participation in a multi-user packet-based (MUP-based) communication are determined. Two or more candidate access terminals are grouped into a MUP-based group, the grouping based on a hybrid automatic repeat request behavior of the plurality of candidate access terminals. Data is sent to the MUP-based group using a multi-user packet.
Abstract:
A medical gown includes a main body having a neck edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The first side edge may extend from the neck edge. The second side edge may extend from the neck edge, opposite the first side edge. The neck edge may define a neck engagement feature between the first and second side edges. The medical gown may further include a first strap feature coupled with the main body and defining a first loop with the first side edge. The medical gown may further include a second strap feature coupled with the main body and defining a second loop with the second side edge.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a self-healing baseband unit for modifying a key parameter indicator (KPI) value includes a processor that executes a real-time platform health processing agent that generates a fault alarm message based on real-time platform health data received from various components of the baseband unit. The baseband unit includes a L1 sub-system connected via a shared memory to a LL2 processing agent. The L2 processing agent includes a data plane processing module for generating control data and a scheduling module. The scheduling module includes a scheduler trade-off module for generating a trade-off value based on the KPI value and the fault alarm message, and an air interface scheduler that modifies primary uplink and downlink transmission schedules based on the trade-off value, a bearer QoS value, and the control data. The KPI is modified by transmission and reception using the modified uplink and downlink transmission schedules.

Abstract:
What is disclosed is a method of operating a communication system. The method includes receiving roaming call records for wireless communication devices from a roaming wireless communication network. The method also includes processing the roaming call records and home call records of a home wireless communication network for at least a first wireless communication device to determine a network handover count, and processing the network handover count to determine a network rescan rate for the first wireless communication device. The method also includes transferring the network rescan rate for delivery to the first wireless communication device.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for determining whether a wireless device should retransmit data packets based on the condition of a reverse wireless link. In a particular embodiment, a method provides exchanging wireless data packet communications between a wireless device and an access node on a wireless network. The method further provides transmitting a first packet set from the access node to the wireless device on a forward wireless link. The method further provides determining a reverse noise ratio, signal interference noise ratio, and packet error rate on a reverse wireless link and generating a confidence level indicator based on the reverse noise ratio, signal interference noise ratio, and packet error rate. The method further provides determining whether to retransmit the first packet set from the access node to the wireless device based on the confidence level indicator.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for presenting coverage bars on a mobile device based on available telecommunications signals. In particular, a mobile device is associated with a plurality of telecommunications signals. Further, the telecommunications signals associated with the mobile device are assessed based on signal strength. A determination is made as to the relative strength of one telecommunications technology over another. Additionally, identifiers of the telecommunications signals are presented on a screen of the mobile device.
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system, a wireless access node provides a wireless communication service to wireless communication devices over a first frequency band class and over a second frequency band class. A control system identifies a subset of the wireless communication devices operating over the first frequency band class that have been in an idle mode for a time period that exceeds a threshold. The wireless access node transfers a signal to the subset of the wireless communication devices to transition from the first frequency band class to the second frequency band class. The wireless access node then provides the wireless communication service to at least some of the subset of the wireless communication devices over the second frequency band class.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the current invention is directed to reducing the time for a computing device to deliver a message to a mobile computing device. A request to enter a tracking mode is received on a quick paging channel. A transition to a tracking mode is performed. Via a slotted access channel, a location-change message is sent that indicates that the mobile computing device has entered a new location. The location-change message is sent when the mobile computing device changes locations.
