摘要:
Apparatus and methods for low power sensing of wireless access technologies are disclosed. In particular, a mobile wireless device, such as an access terminal, may utilize a lower power circuitry portion that operates at a lower power than active circuitry, such as a primary transceiver. The lower power circuitry portion includes a configurable searcher that is capable of sensing if signals of one or more various wireless access technologies are present. When the wireless device utilizes sleep or idle modes for power savings, use of the lower power sensing circuitry to sense the presence of wireless access technologies, rather than using an awoken higher power primary transceiver for sensing, affords increased power savings. An added ability of the lower power circuitry to be put into sleep or idles modes achieves even greater power savings.

The described apparatus and methods provide communication services utilizing a combination of non-white space (NWS) and white space (WS) networks. For example, in an aspect, the described apparatus and methods receive, at a first base station (BS) and on a licensed frequency, a communication request for network access from a wireless access terminal (AT). The aspects also determine at least one available unlicensed frequency corresponding to a location of the wireless AT. Further, the aspects partition at least a portion of the network access for the wireless AT to be via the at least one available unlicensed frequency. Additionally, the aspects inform the wireless AT of the at least one available unlicensed frequency for use to obtain at least the portion of the network access. Additional aspects relate to NWS BS assisted handoffs of WS calls, dynamic caching of WS information, peer-to-peer WS communication, and WS BS venue-specific broadcasting.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with improving wireless device power consumption in an M2M environment. In an example, a service layer module equipped to obtain a network value indicating that a service layer transaction is complete and no additional activity associated with the service layer transaction is expected from a network entity, determine that no additional activity associated with the service layer transaction is expected from a wireless device application, generate a sleep mode value based on the reception of the network value and upon the determination, and provide the sleep mode value to a modem subsystem and/or an application subsystem indicating that it is allowed to enter a sleep mode. In an aspect, the sleep mode value may be provided using cross layer signaling between a service layer and modem processing layer.

Wireless communication devices for communicating via link aggregation in a heterogeneous wireless communication system are disclosed. One such wireless communication device includes logic configured to establish a first communication path between the wireless communication device and a network element, logic configured to discover a peer-to-peer communication link between the wireless communication device and a proxy access terminal, the wireless device and proxy access terminal being separate individual devices, logic configured to establish a second communication path between the wireless communication device and the network element using the discovered peer-to-peer communication link with the proxy access terminal, logic configured to receive data from the network element via both the first and second communication paths, and logic configured to aggregate the received data.

In various embodiments, communication apparatus and methods for providing robust communications are disclosed. For example, an exemplary communication apparatus for distributing media to one or more receiving apparatus may include receiving circuitry configured to receive a first wireless multimedia broadcast signal containing at least a first media stream, transmitting circuitry configured to wirelessly transmit one or more individual media streams simultaneously to the one or more receiving apparatus using one or more wireless transmit signals, and decision circuitry configured to control the transmitting circuitry to transmit the first media stream to at least one receiving apparatus using at least one wireless transmit signal type based on a forward-link data capacity of each wireless channel between the transmitting circuitry and each receiving apparatus.

An ad hoc service provider (106) includes a processing system (204) configured to receive information regarding a second ad hoc service provider (106). The information includes service information of the second ad hoc service provider (106). The processing system (204) is further configured to support transmission of the information to a server (110). The processing system (204) is also configured to support an access point to a network for a mobile client (108). A method is also provided for acquiring or distributing information related to one or more alternate ad hoc service providers (106).
摘要:
An ad-hoc service provider is configured to support pre-authentication with a server for the purpose of receiving a handoff of a mobile client from another ad-hoc service provider. The ad-hoc service provider is further configured to enable the mobile client to maintain a session with the server while receiving the handoff from said another ad-hoc service provider.
