Abstract:
A vital-signs patch for a patient monitoring system that includes a housing containing a sensor that makes physiological measurements of a patient, a transmitter, a receiver, a memory, and a processor. The processor periodically takes a measurement from the sensor, converts the measurement to a data record, and stores the data record in the memory. Upon receipt of a signal from another device, the processor retrieves at least a portion of the data record, converts the retrieved portion of the data record to a vital-sign signal, and causes the transmitter to transmit the vital-sign signal to the other device.
Abstract:
A method of processing data for a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) operation. in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving a timing alignment command (TAC) and one or more uplink grants from a network; and generating a data unit. The one or more uplink grants are used for transmitting the generated data unit to the network. The method further includes starting a time alignment timer (TAT) upon receiving the TAC. The TAT is used to control how long a User Equipment (UE) is considered to have an uplink time that is aligned. The method further includes when the TAT expires, clearing the one or more uplink grants.
Abstract:
A first base station associated with a first radio cell is used to transmit data packets in a second sequence to at least one subscriber station by at least one first radio channel. The subscriber station sorts out the received data packets into a first sequence in an intermediate storage unit and the base station associated with the first radio cell is used to derive and/or represent status information relating to the content of the intermediate storage unit in a status memory unit. Transmission of the data packets is relayed from the first to the second radio cell and data packets are transmitted by a base station associated with the second radio cell to the subscriber station by at least one other radio channel. The status information is transferred from the base station associated with the first radio cell to the base station associated with the second radio cell.
Abstract:
A serial transmission apparatus, which transmits data through a serial communication line, includes a transmission unit configured to transmit data stored in a transmission data buffer to a transmission destination apparatus, a time-out detector configured to detect a time out when a response to the transmitted data from the transmission destination apparatus is not received within a specified period of time, a recovery state detector configured to detect a recovery state representing that the serial communication line is in a link recovery process, and a retransmission request unit configured to request the transmission unit to transmit again the data which has been stored in the transmission data buffer when the time-out detector detects the time-out or when the recovery state detector detects the recovery state of the serial communication line.
Abstract:
In a network for reliable transfer of packets from a transmitter to a receiver using an Internet Protocol (IP), a system for packet recovery comprising a detection block (detector) for packet loss detection and a probe device (probe) for Forward Error Correction (FEC) packets transmission, wherein the detector includes means for sending a missing packet report to the probe upon detecting a missing packet, wherein the probe includes means for storing received packets, sending FEC packets and adapting a size of the FEC packets to an error rate computed from the missing packet reports, wherein the size of FEC packets is made larger or smaller responsive to the error rate increasing or decreasing, respectively, and wherein the probe is located close to the transmitter for reliable packets reception and the detector is located close to the receiver for reliably detecting loss of packets in a receiver's surroundings.
Abstract:
In multi flow high speed downlink packed access, MF HSDPA, communication between a radio network controller, RNC, (105) and two Node Bs (104), redundant RLC PDUs are handled by being discarded in the Node B. The discarding can be controlled via a timer in the Node B or by way of additional signalling between the RNC and the Node B.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for discarding a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) service data unit (SDU) are disclosed. A PDCP layer sets a timer and discards a PDCP SDU upon expiration of the timer. The timer may be set upon receiving the PDCP SDU from an upper layer or upon submitting the PDCP SDU to a lower layer for transmission. The timer and a radio link control (RLC) discard timer may be coordinated. Alternatively, the PDCP layer may discard the PDCP SDU based on a notification from an RLC layer or based on a PDCP status report.
Abstract:
Some embodiments of a three-way communication protocol have been presented. In one embodiment, a message receiver receives a message from a message transmitter. The message may include an idempotent identification (ID). The message receiver records the idempotent ID, and sends a first acknowledgement of the message to the message transmitter in response to receipt of the message. In response to receipt of a second acknowledgement from the message transmitter acknowledging the message transmitter's receipt of the first acknowledgement, the message receiver discards the idempotent ID.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting data using hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) includes transmitting an uplink data, receiving an ACK signal corresponding to the uplink data, and keeping the uplink data in a HARQ buffer after receiving the ACK signal until an uplink grant is received, the uplink grant comprising information on uplink resource assignment. Data can be more reliably transmitted.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for data management through timer compensation in a wireless communication system are provided. In the method, when a data loss occurs at a first point, whether a data loss has occurred previously and so whether a timer is being driven are determined. Whether the driven timer stops or expires at a second point is determined. When the timer stops or expires at the second point, a timer value is compensated for with consideration of a time difference between the first point and the second point. A timer for the data loss of the first point is restarted based on the compensated timer value. Therefore, a delay of a retransmission request time for lost data in an RLC (Radio Link Control) layer may be minimized.
