Abstract:
Automatic provisioning of an access point base station or femtocell. The method may include the femtocell transmitting first information (e.g., location information, signal measurement information, capability information, etc.) to a service provider (e.g., over an IP network). The femtocell may receive second information from the service provider, where the second information includes one or more operational parameters. The operational parameters may include hand-off parameters, admission policy parameters, PN or scrambling codes, power parameters, and/or other parameters. The femtocell may operate according to the received parameters to provide access for a plurality of access terminals in a local area.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for determining the layout of a form automatically to accommodate text in the form. Under the method and apparatus, a set of parameters define the sizing and alignment of elements of the form. Sizing and positioning instructions that are separate from the sizing and alignment parameters set the sizing and positioning of elements of the form based on the sizing and alignment parameters. The instructions determine the minimum size for the form, based in part on text in the form. The difference between the minimum size for the form and a desired size for the form is then distributed across the form to size and position the elements in the form.
Abstract:
A Machine Type Communication (MTC) method for an MTC device to configure a plurality of MTC logical channels associated with an MTC application is provided. The method comprises the steps of: configuring, in a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, the MTC logical channels independently from a Common Control Channel (CCCH), a Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH), and a Dedicated Traffic Channel (DTCH), wherein the MTC logical channels include a Machine Type Communication Traffic Channel (MTCTCH) and a Machine Type Communication Control Channel (MTCCCH); carrying uplink and downlink traffic data dedicated for the MTC application executed by the MTC device in the MTCTCH; and carrying uplink and downlink control data dedicated for the MTC application executed by the MTC device in the MTCCCH.
Abstract:
An oxygen generator having a honeycomb body composed of an oxygen ion conducting material is disclosed. The honeycomb body includes one or more air channels, each of which is composed of a plurality of the first channels and the first connecting holes therebetween to form a tortuous air flow path for lengthening the detention time of air, and oxygen collection channels, each of which is composed of a plurality of the second channels and the second connecting holes therebetween for oxygen passage. The first and second channels, which extend laterally through across the body and parallel to each other, are all sealed with glass members at both the front face and back face of the body. The source gas is provided and exhausted from one side face of the body to the other side face via a plurality of air inlets and air outlets, respectively, which laterally intersect the first channels. A power source are with a negative terminal and positive terminal, respectively, connected to the air channels and oxygen collection channels, respectively, to force oxygen ion flow across the oxygen ion conducting material such that gas in oxygen collection channels will become riches in oxygen than in air channels. The oxygen within the oxygen collection channels is collected from the side face of the body through a plurality of oxygen outlets which laterally connect with the second channels.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device for prioritized load balancing is provided. In the mobile communication device, a wireless module receives data communication services and a broadcast message from a first service network. Also, a controller determines whether the broadcast message has load balancing information for the first service network and a second service network, and in response to the broadcast message having the load balancing information, generates a random number and determines whether the random number belongs to a restricted priority level according to the load balancing information. The controller further suspends a reselection from the first service network to the second service network, in response to the random number belonging to the restricted priority level.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device for load balancing management is provided. In the mobile communication device, a wireless module receives data communication services via a first service node and receives a plurality of system information messages from the first service node and a plurality of second service nodes, wherein each of the system information messages has a forward-link quality threshold corresponding to a respective service node. Also, a controller determines a traffic type of the data communication services and a signal indicator of the first service node, and determines whether the signal indicator is less than the forward-link quality threshold corresponding to the first service node. In response to that the signal indicator is less than the forward-link quality threshold corresponding to the first service node, the controller switches the data communication services from the first service node to one of the second service nodes according to the traffic type.
Abstract:
A method includes displaying a first set of menu options, that are selectable by a user, on a display screen; detecting a movement, of a remote control device, that corresponds to a particular command; and in response to detecting the movement that corresponds to a particular command, displaying a second set of options, that are selectable by the user, on the display screen.

Abstract:
A mobile communications device with a wireless module and a controller module for performing a buffer status reporting procedure is provided. The wireless module performs wireless transmissions and receptions to and from a cellular station of a service network. The controller module receives machine type communication (MTC) data, determines whether to trigger a buffer status report (BSR) according to a comparison result of the data size of the MTC data and a threshold value when the MTC data arrives at an empty transmission buffer, and if so, transmits the BSR to the cellular station via the wireless module.
