Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for carrier allocation and management in multi-carrier communication systems.SOLUTION: The number of carriers assigned to an access terminal (AT) on a forward link (FL) is determined by an access network (AN), and the number of carriers assigned to the access terminal (AT) on a reverse link (RL) is based on a cooperative process between the access terminal (AT) and the access network (AN). The number of carriers assigned to the access terminal (AT) on the reverse link (RL) is also determined by the access network (AN) in relation to the scheduling information received from the access terminal (AT).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the dynamic assignment of a home agent and a home address in wireless communication so that a mobile node away from a home may receive local access services from a network in a visited destination. SOLUTION: A mobile node accesses a network in a visited destination. The network in the visited destination authenticates the mobile node by its home network. The network in the visited destination then assigns a visited home agent and a home address for the mobile node. The mobile node subsequently performs secure binding with the visitor home agent. The mobile node continues communication using the visitor home agent and the home address. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To combine variable-length packets for HRPD (High Rate Packet Data) communication into one physical layer (PL) packet for efficient packet transmission. SOLUTION: Although a plurality of security layer (SL) packets can be multiplexed to a single physical layer (PL) packet in order to improve the efficiency, the SL packets may have a variable length. The length of the SL packet is selected based on the status of channels corresponding to a plurality of security layers. A shorter packet is used for a user in poor channel situation, or a user requesting a smaller amount of data due to application and requirements for quality of service (QoS) accompanied with the application.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the generation efficiency of a variable-length physical layer packet. SOLUTION: A plurality of security layer (SL) packets are multiplexed to a single physical layer (PL) packet, in order to improve the efficiency. The SL packets may have a variable length. An SL packet in a different format for a different user is combined with a capsule for forming the PL packet. A shorter packet is used for a user in poor channel situation, or a user requesting a smaller amount of data due to application and requirements for quality of service (QoS) accompanied with the application. A preamble structure provides a unicast packet or a multiuser packet. A mechanism is provided for identifying an acknowledgement from a corrected rate set, a single user packet, or a multiplexed packet (delayed acknowledgement). COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for low-delay data communication on a multichannel which has different speed and waiting time and needs different setup time. SOLUTION: A transmitter removes a duplicate data packet from a queue after a second channel, e.g., an exclusive channel, is set up. In another embodiment, a sequence number is allocated to a data packet, and a receiver discriminates the duplicate packet to make it possible to neglect the duplication. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure seamless handoff for a mobile station between wireless access networks having different wireless interfaces during a period of the wireless packet data service operation. SOLUTION: Location information is provided to an Access Terminal (AT) when an Access Network (AN) is unable to contact a last serving PDSN or the previous location information is maintained. AN elements within an area supported by a Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) are given the same Access Network ID (ANID). In this way, movement of the AT within the area supported by the PDSN never initiates location information update. The AT receives the location information specific to the PDSN rather than the AN.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for maintaining synchronization with a telecommunication device in a half-duplex mode for a low duty cycle data transmission operation.SOLUTION: At least one low duty cycle (LDC) controller is operated to maintain synchronization between the LDC controller and a plurality of LDC terminals operating over a communication network using only overhead channels of the network and conforming to the protocol and timing of the network, wherein the synchronization between the LDC controller and the plurality of LDC terminals is maintained separately from the protocol and timing of the communication network, and enables the LDC controller to schedule power down and wake up of the plurality of LDC terminals for durations longer than allowable under the protocol and timing of the communication network.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for providing secure transmissions in a wireless communication system. SOLUTION: Transmission traffic is encrypted at separate protocol layers L1 (220), L2 (210) and L3 (200), separate encryption elements 204a-204e are assigned to separate types of transmission traffic 201, 203 and 205, and different levels of encryption are performed according to service requirements. Encryption elements 204a-204e use variable value inputs, called encryption synchronization, along with semi-permanent encryption keys to protect from replay attacks by mobile stations performing fraud. Encryption synchronization values vary, so that a method for synchronizing encryption synchronization at a mobile station and base station is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for grouping pilot signals and using such grouping for pilot strength reporting and set management in a multi-carrier system. SOLUTION: An access network may assign a group identifier (i.e. 'group ID') to each of the pilot signals associated with a sector based on a coverage area of pilot signals 321 to 324, and transmit the pilot signals with the corresponding group IDs. PN offset may be used as the group ID. An access terminal 360 groups the received pilot signals into one or more pilot groups in accordance with their group IDs and selects a representative pilot signal from each pilot group for pilot strength reporting. The access terminal may also use pilot grouping to perform effective set management. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
