Abstract:
The claimed subject matter relates to systems and methods for processing messages in a wireless communications environment. In an aspect, a communications method is provided. The method includes initiating a registration with a network domain node and generating sequence information with respect to the registration. The sequence information is then employed to facilitate further communications with the network domain node.
Abstract:
Described herein are mechanisms and methods that facilitate utilizing a base station as a regional mobility agent (e.g., regional home agent, regional foreign agent, and/or the like). Thus, a base station can have functionality embedded therein that enables the base station to create tunnels with other base stations and selectively direct data intended for a wireless terminal to those base stations. Such base stations can then transmit the data to the wireless terminal.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to determining, communicating, and/or using delay information are described. A wireless terminal determines delay information corresponding to queued information that it intends to transmit. The delay information includes a maximum queuing delay indicting a maximum amount of time data to be transmitted has been waiting to be transmitted. The determined delay information is communicated to a base station in a control information report. Alternatives formats for the control information report are possible including a report type conveying only delay information and a report type conveying delay information and queue backlog count information jointly coded. A base station uses received delay information received from one or more wireless terminals to efficiently schedule uplink traffic channel segments.
Abstract:
An apparatus and associated method, wherein the method provided for facilitating receiving a request that requires a reply within a first time, determining a first maximum time to reply using a first criteria, wherein the maximum time to reply is less than the first time, and selecting a reply time, wherein the reply time is not greater than the maximum time to reply.
Abstract:
Embodiments describe synchronizing access routers with wireless terminal state information. According to an embodiment is a wireless terminal that transmits a message that includes an address for at least two access routers. State change information can optionally be included in the message. According to another embodiment is an access router that receives a state change notification from a wireless device or another access router. The state change notification is updated in the access router. An acknowledgment confirming the updated state change may be sent to the wireless terminal. Dynamic state synchronization is provided with minimal communication with wireless terminal.
