Abstract:
Integrated base stations and a method of transmitting data units in a communications system for mobile devices. In one embodiment, an integrated base station includes a communications processor having a protocol stack configured with a media access control layer and a physical layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of multicasting video streams. The method includes accessing, at a base station, a first packet from a video stream that includes a plurality of packets, Each packet in the video stream is assigned to either a base layer or at least one enhancement layer. The method also includes encoding the first packet using a coding scheme selected based on whether the first packet is assigned to the base layer or an enhancement layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of route optimization for a proxy mobile Internet protocol. The method may include providing information indicative of a first proxy address based on a first address associated with a first access terminal and receiving information indicative of a second proxy address associated with a second access terminal. The method may also include establishing a communication link between the first access terminal and the second access terminal based on the first and second proxy addresses such that the communication link does not include a home agent.
