Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate processing service data units (SDUs) in order during communication handover in wireless networks.SOLUTION: For mobile devices using re-transmission schemes, SDUs can be processed in order by indicating to a target base station the last SDU received in order before handing off communication to the target base station. Additionally, SDUs received subsequent to one or more non-acknowledged SDUs can be forwarded to the target base station. Utilizing this information, the target base station determines one or more SDUs the mobile device is preparing to re-transmit and waits for the determined SDU to be transmitted before processing subsequently received SDUs. Also, a timer can be utilized to end a waiting period for the SDU.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate in-band notification of stale service data units (SDUs) in a radio link control (RLC) layer for wireless communications.SOLUTION: When SDUs become stale during protocol data unit (PDU) retransmission, in-band notifications are packed in retransmit PDUs for receipt and interpretation by a receiver. The in-band notification is a special length indicator that specifies discard of an SDU that has been previously partially received, and a transmitter of the PDU saves payload by not retransmitting the stale SDU.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for searching for access points at an access terminal.SOLUTION: The access terminal may include a memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to maintain in the memory a database containing a list of access points that have previously served the access terminal with at least a minimum quality of service. The processor may be further configured to use the list to search for an access point to associate with, or search for an access point to handoff the access terminal to during operation. In addition to, or alternatively, the processor may also be configured to maintain in the database a second list of access points. The database may be used by the processor to search for an access point that is not on the second list to associate with, or handoff the access terminal to.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for rate selection in a MIMO system. SOLUTION: An access point transmits an unsteered MIMO pilot via a downlink. A user terminal estimates downlink channel quality based on a downlink unsteered MIMO pilot and transmits an unsteered MIMO pilot and feedback information via the uplink. The feedback information is indicative of the downlink channel quality. The access point estimates the uplink channel quality, obtains a channel response matrix based on the uplink unsteered MIMO pilot, decomposes the channel response matrix to obtain eigenvectors and channel gains for eigenmodes of the downlink, and selects rates for the eigenmodes based on the estimated uplink channel quality, the channel gains for the eigenmodes, and the feedback information.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for maintaining in-sequence delivery of packets through a handoff without incurring significant processing delays.SOLUTION: Provided are systems and methodologies that support Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) reordering of packets during a handoff operation. This invention can mitigate processing delays associated with PDCP reordering of packets at handoff by determining, communicating, and/or otherwise identifying during handoff one or more indicators that facilitate lossless communication of packets to a terminal with minimal delay. These indicators can include sequence number information for a source Node B, information regarding a step or jump size applied to a sequence number by a target Node B, a reset command, and/or other suitable indicators.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for identification of a channel associated with a wireless data transmission.SOLUTION: A channel designated for transmission of a packet can be selected from among multiple usable channels, on the basis that a bit at a predefined location in the packet can be set to a logical value indicative of the selected channel. Furthermore, extraction of the logical value from the predefined location and identification of the corresponding channel can be performed by a recipient of the packet without requiring parsing of the message. A Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH) can be identified by setting a Logical Channel Identifier (LCID) bit in a DCCH packet to a predefined value. In another example, a Common Control Channel (CCCH) can be identified by embedding a Boolean constant within a message structure contained in a CCCH packet.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, and a method for allowing the UE to handle measurement gaps.SOLUTION: In some aspects, gap measurement may be ignored. In some aspects, the processing is stored and handled later in time, and the gap measurement is performed. Depending on the system, the measurement performed during the gaps may be UE implementation dependent, where the UE determines whether to perform the measurement during a given gap. In some instances, the UE may not perform measurement during the gap, thereby giving priority to other processing, such as RACH processing. Depending on the type of processing required (DL-SCH, UL-SCH, TTI bundling, RACH or SR), the UE may store requests and process the measurement during the gap or ignore the gap measurement as if there were no gaps.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for improving power saving by stations in wireless networks.SOLUTION: A source station receives a frame with information on transmission opportunity (TXOP) bursting receive capability of a recipient station operating in a power save mode (1412). The source station performs channel access at the start of a TXOP and sends multiple data frames in the TXOP to the recipient station based on the TXOP bursting receive capability of the recipient station (1414). The recipient station knows how many data frames to expect based on the information on the TXOP bursting receive capability and can go to sleep state after receiving the expected number of data frames.
