Abstract:
A method (600) and apparatus (700) for reducing delay associated with a call set-up for a call between an originating communication unit (120) and a target communication unit (121-124) in a radio access system (RAS) (101) is described. A call is initiated with a target communication unit prior to a channel assignment. A first latency (411) between an initiation time and a time when the target is capable of receiving a notification of the call on a first channel (410) is estimated and a second latency (421) between the initiation time and a second time when the target is capable of receiving the notification on a second channel (420) is estimated. Addresses associated with the target can be sent to the radio access system on the first channel or the second channel based on the estimated first latency and the estimated second latency.
Abstract:
A system [100] includes a wireless entity [115] to provide wireless data, and a mobile station [105] in communication with the wireless entity [115] to receive the wireless data. The mobile station [105] includes a detection element [230] to detect a time interval between a current time and an occurrence of at least one of a reselection, a service interruption, and a seamless transition. A processing element [225] performs at least one of: (a) a full update of a data frame prior the at least one of the reselection and the service interruption; (b) a synchronization of a mobile station application prior to the at least one of the reselection and the service interruption; and (c) a temporary modification of at least one of a network application and the mobile station application prior to at least one of the reselection and the seamless transition.
Abstract:
A plurality of wireless addresses to be transmitted using a shared message and at least one item of informational content are provided (101 and 102). At least some of the plurality of wireless address are then arranged (103) into an order that represents the at least one item of informational content. Upon transmitting (104) a shared message that contains this content, a receiving platform can, in turn, decode (302) (and hence recover) the at least one item of informational content as a function, at least in part, of that aforementioned particular order.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are described which may serve to improve spreading channel code selection in wireless technologies that employ two-stage ranging. For example, some of the embodiments enable a number of spreading codes to be reused at each network node (111, 112), potentially increasing the number of codes available to each remote unit and thereby reducing the collision rate. Rather than simply selecting a spreading channel code randomly, remote units (101-103), in some embodiments, select a spreading channel code based on one or more considerations such as pilot signal strength, remote unit location, a remote unit mobility level, and a priority class associated with the remote unit. Depending on the embodiment, network nodes can partition the spreading codes into groups and then assign link bandwidth to remote units based on the group associated with the code selected by that remote unit.
Abstract:
A method and a system for enhancing user experience by reducing the handover delay of media and more specifically for providing more seamless transfers of media experiences across devices. The method comprises steps of identifying (205) a trigger condition for the pre-handover procedure from a first device and preparing (210) a media application enabled to render the media experience in a dormant mode in a second device, if the trigger condition is met.
Abstract:
At least one condition concerning a first user (102) within a communication network is obtained. Presence information of a second user (114) within the communication network is determined based upon the at least one condition of the first user (102). The presence information of the second user is then projected to the first user (102).
Abstract:
A core network element (102) is configured to facilitate establishment of a first type of wireless communication resource to facilitate communication with first communication target. The core network element detects a first message using a second type of wireless communication resource where the first message is a part of the request for the first communication resource. The core network element also detects within the first message a second message requesting establishment of a first type of wireless communication resource with the at least first communication target. As the result of the first and second messages, the first type of communication resource is established with the at least first communication target, such as a push-to-talk mobile station. The target mobile station will respond with a message indicating that it is either unavailable or not unavailable.
Abstract:
Presence information associated with a presence entity (102) is received. A composition rule associated with the presence information is also received. The composition rule is applied to the presence information in order to determine a presence state for the presence entity (102).
Abstract:
At least one Radio Frequency (RF) operating condition associated with a mobile station (102) is obtained. The RF operating condition is compared to an optimum value. When the RF operating condition is substantially different from the optimum value, the paging cycle is adjusted in order to conserve power in a battery associated with the mobile station (102).
Abstract:
A method and computer program for initiating a message to a radio access network include steps of: (404) detecting a request to transmit a probe message from a transmitter over an access channel to a radio access network; (406) calculating a transmit power for the probe message; (408) checking a condition that may result in failure to receive the probe message over the access channel by the radio access network; and (410) when the condition is determined to be true, then (412) reducing a message length of the probe message to generate a shorter probe message; (414) recalculating the transmit power to send the shorter probe message; and (416) transmitting the shorter probe message over the access channel at the recalculated transmit power.
