Abstract:
A method is provided in a receiving node for handling status information of data units transmitted from a sending node to the receiving node over a radio link. The receiving node establishes (401) that a number of data units that has been transmitted by the sending node are missing. The receiving node sends (402) a reduced status message to the sending node over the radio link, which message is reduced such that it comprises the negative acknowledgement for a first part of missing data units and omits negative acknowledgements for the rest of the missing data units. The omitted negative acknowledgement for the rest of the missing data units will not erroneously be interpreted as correctly received data units by the sending node.
Abstract:
A wireless device may receive a dedicated protocol interval (DPI) announcement (DPIA) frame, and then determine, based on the DPIA frame, a scheduled time and a dedicated protocol for the DPI. The wireless device may transmit one or more dedicated clear-to-send (CTS) frames requesting legacy stations to defer from contending for medium access during the DPI. Then, the wireless device may transmit data, using the dedicated protocol, to another device during the DPI.
Abstract:
With the proliferation of Machine-Type Communication (MTC), an excessive use of device trigger messages in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network can have negative effects on user equipment (UE). These effect can include a shortening of UE battery life and/or excessive signalling caused by the frequent changing from an idle mode to an active mode. An MTC Interworking Function (MTC-IWF) can be configured to determine the status of a UE to which a device trigger message is intended. If the device trigger message is low priority and the UE is in an idle state, the MTC-IWF or Mobile Management Entity (MME)/Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN)/Mobile Switching Center (MSC) can buffer the device trigger message.
Abstract:
Collisions in wireless networks may be avoided by stacking acknowledge messages, relaying the stacked acknowledge messages, and reducing the number of acknowledge frames transmitted as a result of successful stacked acknowledge message transmissions. Additionally, a blind relay setup may be implemented to increase successful transmission rates such that a relay node in a transmission chain is configured to relay a frame without addressing the relay to a specific node. Non-neighboring nodes may receive frames out of order and relay the frames despite the out of order delivery.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a data transmission method, apparatus, and device. The method includes: receiving a Pth piece of hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ process data sent by a data transmit end at an Nth moment, where P is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1; and sending Q pieces of hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment HARQ-ACK information to the data transmit end at an Mth moment, where the HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the Q pieces of HARQ process data is feedbacks corresponding to Q pieces of HARQ process data whose HARQ-ACK information is not received by the data transmit end before the Mth moment, Q pieces of HARQ-ACK information include a Pth piece of HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the Pth piece of HARQ process data, and M is a positive integer greater than N.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and, more particularly, a method and device for implementing power saving in a wireless LAN system are disclosed. A method of implementing power saving by a station (STA) in a wireless LAN system according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the steps of: receiving a plurality of frames from an access point (AP) by means of the station STA that is changed from a sleep state to an awake state; determining whether each of the plurality of frames has an error; and transmitting a response frame representing the presence and absence of the error to the AP. Even if each of the plurality of frames includes information instructing the AP to stop transmitting to the station to the station STA, it is possible to maintain the awake state when at least one of the plurality of frames has an error.
Abstract:
A simultaneous transmit and receive technology is described. A downlink transmission and an uplink receive beam are formed at a base station (BS) having a beam pattern with predetermined nulls. The predetermined nulls are formed over predetermined elevation angles to reduce interference with a proximate BS. Transmission and reception occur simultaneously using the beam pattern from the BS.
Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms for evaluating a transmission outcome indicium to determine a state of data traffic congestion in a network. In an embodiment, congestion information for a packet of a transmission group is evaluated at a computer device to determine a congestion state, where a size of the transmission group is determined based on a congestion window parameter. In another embodiment, the evaluation to determine the congestion state is performed prior to the computer device detecting a transmission outcome indicium for some other packet of the transmission group.
Abstract:
A method for mobile station accessing to a base station in a wireless communication system that uses selective acknowledgement mechanism, comprising: transmitting, an access probe from the mobile station to the base station; receiving, a message from the base station, wherein the message indicates parts of the plurality of data frames are not decoded by the base station; passing, an instruction from a MAC layer to a PHY layer of the mobile station, wherein the instruction is used to send a selective acknowledgement header; sending, the parts of data frames that are not decoded by the base station from the MAC layer to the PHY layer according to the message; and retransmitting the parts of the plurality of data frames.
Abstract:
A transmission apparatus (1) transmits data, and a reception apparatus (2) receives the data. The reception apparatus (2) includes a data reception unit (6) receiving the data, and a reception state notification transmission unit (10) periodically transmitting a reception state notification including a range of sequence numbers of the received data and sequence numbers of data which have not been received within the range. The transmission apparatus (1) includes a data transmission unit (5) transmitting the data, a reception state notification reception unit (11) receiving the reception state notification, and a retransmission determining unit (12) making the data transmission unit (5) retransmit data specified in the reception state notification as unreceived data.
