Abstract:
A method for uplink power control implemented in a wireless communications system including one or more user equipment, a serving base station, and at least one neighboring base station is disclosed. The method comprises measuring, at each user equipment, pathloss, sending, from each user equipment to the serving base station, the pathloss, and determining, at the serving base station, uplink transmit power based on the pathloss. Other methods, systems, and apparatuses also are disclosed.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for data flow control include establishing a first connection between a gateway and a network client responsive to a connection request from the network client; establishing a second connection between the gateway and a server specified by the connection request; determining a user class for the network client based on a level of network congestion detected at the gateway based on throughput and round-trip-time delays; modifying a data flow received at the gateway on the second connection to remove data from the flow based on the determined user class of the network client; and transmitting the modified data flow to the network client via the first connection.
Abstract:
A method implemented in an apparatus used in a radio access network (RAN) sharing system including a plurality of basestations is disclosed. The method includes estimating resource requirement or demand of one or more entities in each base station according to feedback from the plurality of basestations, computing resource allocation for said one or more entities, and enforcing the computed resource allocation using basestation-level virtualization. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.
Abstract:
A basestation used in a wireless communications system is disclosed. The basestation includes a plurality of flow management schedulers, wherein the base station receives an indication of function selection from an entity, and wherein the base station chooses for the entity one of the plurality of flow management schedulers according to the indication of function selection. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.

Abstract:
Advertisements are shown to users when the queue underflows to avoid video stalls in players/plugins so users see minimum disruption in video quality. The advertisements are pre-fetched and cached at the mobile phone to schedule them during queue underflows. If there is no congestion in the network, the queue does no underflow and advertisements are shown only to meet ad contracts. During network congestion or disruption, the queue might underflow and specific advertisements are shown to equalize network unavailability until sufficient video data has been received.
Abstract:
A method for video multicast delivery for 4g wireless networks includes collecting client feedback and obtaining supportable modulation and coding scheme MCS for each client over a base station of wireless network, prioritizing video packets for said clients and setting a utility for each of the video packets; performing a radio resource allocation for determining a utility optimization for transmitted frames of the video packets; and assigning an MCS to each transmitted frame of the video packets, responsive to step performing a radio resource allocation
Abstract:
A fractional frequency reuse method for assigning physical resource units of a contiguous frequency band to sectors of cells is disclosed. Each cell includes at least one base station, for transmission of data to users in the sectors The method comprises, for each cell, segmenting the frequency band such that each separate segment includes a first contiguous portion of physical resource units dedicated to all sectors of the cell in vicinities of the center of the cell and a second contiguous portion of physical resource units dedicated for use in only one of the sectors in the cell in an outer area of the cell, assigning each cell with a physical resource unit configuration such that the second contiguous portion of physical resource units of a sector of a given cell partially overlaps with the first contiguous portion of physical resource units in a segment including the second contiguous portion dedicated to the same sector of a cell neighboring the given cell, and transmitting the data to the users in the sectors in accordance with the assigned physical resource unit configurations. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.
