Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile computing platform for assigning blocks of quality of service precedence values.SOLUTION: An ordered list of precedence values includes a number of blocks of precedence values. An operating system receives filters from an application. The operating system assigns a precedence value to each filter from the available block of precedence values that has the highest priority. Precedence values are assigned to maintain a precedence order specified by the application. Filters and their assigned precedence values are communicated to an entity that filters packets by applying the filters in the order of their precedence values. If an assignment is to be made when the lowest priority block is not available, then a repacking operation is performed to fill unused blocks in the list.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for supporting wireless data services and data connectivity on a TE2 device coupled to a wireless device using an Internet Protocol (IP)-based interface.SOLUTION: A wireless network assigns a single IP address to the wireless device, which assigns this IP address over to a TE2 device. The wireless device forwards packets exchanged between the TE2 device and the wireless network using the single IP address. The wireless device exchanges packets with the TE2 device by (1) using the private IP address for outbound packets sent to the TE2 device and (2) performing either address-based routing or packet filtering on inbound packets received from the TE2 device.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate processes for management and arbitration of dedicated mobile communication resources for mobile applications.SOLUTION: Mobile applications can be given a priority level that establishes importance with respect to one or more other mobile applications and at least one mobile resource. If competing applications attempt to access the mobile resource concurrently, access can be provided to an application having a higher priority level. Furthermore, control of a resource can be taken away from an application having lower priority in order to apply more control of the resource to a higher priority application. A privilege code of an application is verified prior to establishing control of the resource for the application, to mitigate a likelihood of inappropriate transfer of resources.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for supporting QoS related to a communication network utilizing different network technologies by a generic quality-of-service (QoS) model which is not dependent on network technology. SOLUTION: The generic QoS model may include a superset including all QoS parameters for all network technologies being interfaced and supported by a QoS module 330, e.g., 3GPP and 3GPP2. An application at a device may specify QoS for a traffic flow based on the generic QoS parameters in the superset. The generic QoS parameters may be converted to QoS parameters that are specific to a communication network. The converted QoS parameters are exchanged with the communication network and are used while exchanging traffic with the communication network. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for optimizing robust header compression between a compressor (residing at AN/AT) and a decompressor (residing at AT/AN).SOLUTION: The method comprises: initializing the compressor with an estimated jitter value before the compressor; notifying the decompressor of the estimated jitter value before the compressor; estimating various threshold limits at the decompressor based on a jitter sum of a jitter between the compressor and the decompressor (JITTER_CD) and a jitter before the compressor (JITTER_BC); the decompressor sending a JITTER option whenever the threshold limits are exceeded; and the compressor adjusting a packet size in response to the received JITTER option.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of transmitting and receiving data from a multi-homing network device to a data network. SOLUTION: The method includes a step for defining a network policy and transmitting (300) the network policy to a routing module. Furthermore, the method includes a step for receiving (302) a route scope from the routing module. The route scope identifies a subset of data interfaces to the data network that satisfy the network policy where the subset of data interfaces is selected from a set of available data interfaces and the subset of data interfaces includes at least one data interface.

Abstract:
A generic quality of service (QoS) model that is not dependent on network technology is used to support QoS for communication networks utilizing different network technologies. The generic QoS model may include a superset of all QoS parameters for all network technologies being supported, e.g., 3GPP and 3GPP2. An application at a device may specify QoS for a traffic flow based on the generic QoS parameters in the superset. The generic QoS parameters may be converted to QoS parameters that are specific to a serving network. The converted QoS parameters are exchanged with the serving network and are used while exchanging traffic with the serving network.
Abstract:
Aspects disclosed in the detailed description include power saving techniques in computing devices. In particular, as data is received by a modem processor in a computing device, the data is held until the expiration of a modem timer. The data is then passed to an application processor in the computing device over a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) interconnectivity bus. On receipt of the data from the modem processor, the application processor sends data held by the application processor to the modem processor over the PCIe interconnectivity bus. The application processor also has an uplink timer. If no data is received from the modem processor before expiration of the uplink timer, the application processor sends any collected data to the modem processor at expiration of the uplink timer. However, if data is received from the modem processor, the uplink timer is reset.
