Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for control of data call origination based on prior origination attempts. SOLUTION: A wireless device receives a request so as to originate a data call, e.g., from a user or a higher layer application. If origination control is not to be applied, then the wireless device originates the data call immediately. Otherwise, the origination of the data call is controlled on the basis of prior data call origination attempts that are applicable to the data call. For example, the wireless device may originate the data call immediately if (1) the most recent origination attempt is successful or (2) the most recent origination attempt is unsuccessful but a prescribed time period has elapsed since this unsuccessful original attempt. If the most recent origination attempt is unsuccessful and the prescribed time period does not elapse, then the wireless device may (1) wait till this prescribed time period elapses and then originate the data call or (2) reject the data call.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system acquisition method in a mobile station including a preferred roaming list. SOLUTION: A mobile station 2 includes processing circuitry 80 and a memory 82 storing a preferred roaming list and system avoidance data 104. The system avoidance data identify unusable systems and include corresponding avoidance criteria. The processing circuitry is adapted to select a system from the preferred roaming list in accordance with a predetermined system acquisition procedure. The selected system is skipped if corresponding avoidance criteria is satisfied. If the selected system is usable, the mobile station 2 may attempt to acquire and register with the selected system. The processing circuitry is further adapted to add systems to the system avoidance data in response to a communications failure, and remove systems from the system avoidance data when corresponding avoidance criteria is no longer satisfied. The avoidance criteria may include a time period during which the corresponding system is unusable. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A system and method for determining 1xEV-DO availability for a packet data call in a wireless device is presented. When the wireless device receives a request to initiate a packet data call, the device determines if it currently has access to a preferred 1xEV-DO channel. The determination can be made by consulting a 1xEV-DO availability list stored in persistent memory on the wireless device. If available, the wireless device originates the packet data call on the 1xEV-DO channel. If the device is using a CDMA system that has 1xEV-DO channels but the availability or usability of those channels are unknown, the device polls the signal strength on the 1xEV-DO channels to determine the best 1xEV-DO channel to use for the packet data call. If no 1xEV-DO channel is available or if none of the available 1xEV-DO channels are usable, then the device originates the packet data call on a CDMA channel.
Abstract:
Aspectos de la presente divulgación permiten el emparejamiento de una portadora inter-banda con una portadora de duplexión por división de tiempo (TDD); si la banda emparejada es una banda de duplexión por división de frecuencia (FDD), entonces estaciones base y dispositivos móviles pueden transmitir y recibir canales de control delgados adicionales en las portadoras FDD para permitir operaciones dúplex completo; si la banda emparejada es una banda TDD, entonces una portadora conjugada o inversa puede ser utilizada de manera que se logre el dúplex completo o una aproximación cercana al mismo; con la introducción de un canal emparejado y canales de control rápido, se puede lograr una rápida conmutación de enlace ascendente/enlace descendente para portadoras TDD de manera eficiente y efectiva; también se reclaman y describen otros aspectos, modalidades y características.
Abstract:
Un procedimiento de comunicación inalámbrica operable en una entidad subordinada (104), que comprende: comunicarse de forma inalámbrica con una entidad de programación (102) usando un primer intervalo de tiempo de transmisión, TTI, a través de una primera portadora, siendo la primera portadora una portadora de TDD de duplexado por división de tiempo; y comunicarse de forma inalámbrica con la entidad de programación (102) usando un segundo TTI diferente del primer TTI y solapando una parte del primer TTI, a través de una segunda portadora emparejada con la primera portadora pero separada de la primera portadora en frecuencia, en el que el segundo TTI tiene una duración más corta que el primer TTI.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the pairing of an inter-band carrier with a time division duplex (TDD) carrier. If the paired band is a frequency division duplex (FDD) band, then base stations and mobile devices may transmit and receive additional thin control channels on FDD carriers to enable full duplex operations. If the paired band is a TDD band, then a conjugate or inverse carrier may be used such that full duplex, or a close approximation thereto, is achieved. With the introduction of a paired channel and fast control channels, rapid uplink/downlink switching may be achieved for TDD carriers efficiently and effectively. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

In another example, the thin control (208, 212) channel can be utilized to carry control information that relates to interference experienced by a user. By utilizing this control information on a thin control (208, 212) channel, the network can take suitable action to mitigate the interference. Other aspects, embodiments, and features arc also claimed and described. Figure 13
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide for a thin control (208, 212) channel structure that can be utilized to enable multiplexing of two or more data transmission formats. For example, a thin control (208, 212) channel may carry information that enables ongoing transmissions utilizing a first, relatively long transmission time interval (TTI) to be punctured, and during the punctured portion of the long TTI, a transmission utilizing a second, relatively short TTI may be inserted. This puncturing is enabled by virtue of a thin channel structure wherein a control channel can carry scheduling information, grants, etc., informing receiving devices of the puncturing that is occurring or will occur. Furthermore, the thin control (208, 212) channel can be utilized to carry other control information, not being limited to puncturing information. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
