Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate configuring a flush timer within a wireless environment in order to provide robust communications in regards to handover or re-establishment. The flush timer can be triggered upon successful completion of reconfiguration re-establishment. Moreover, the flush timer can be triggered upon successful completion of handover. In the case of handover and re-establishment, a separate indication of handover to packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) from the start of PDCP flush timer can be utilized.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate managing interaction between paging and discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles for users operating in a communication system. As described herein, a connected mode user having an associated DRX cycle can modify its schedule for paging reception to minimize unnecessary periods of activity. For example, a user can initially schedule monitoring of paging occasions that coincide with periods of activity associated with the DRX cycle of the user. If such paging occasions are not sufficient to reach a minimum required number of monitored paging occasions, additional paging occasions can be monitored as needed by scheduling additional periods of activity and/or extending periods of activity specified in the DRX cycle. Additionally or alternatively, a network can synchronize a connected mode DRX cycle associated with a user with an idle mode paging cycle for the user, thereby providing power and performance benefits with low complexity.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate providing indications related to discontinuous reception (DRX) and release of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resources from a base station to an access terminal. A DRX indicator that provides a command to an access terminal to transition to DRX mode and a resource release indicator that identifies one or more SPS resources (e.g., uplink, downlink, . . . ) previously assigned to the access terminal that are released can be transmitted within a common transaction. According to an example, the DRX indicator and the resource release indicator can be sent via disparate channels (e.g., PDCCH and PDSCH) within a single transmission time interval (TTI). Pursuant to a further example, the DRX indicator and the resource release indicator can be transferred within a common control message.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate efficiently communicating a data packet related to a protocol layer within a wireless communication system. The systems and/or methods can provide cross-layer optimization by directly transporting or communicating data to a particular protocol layer. In general, a MAC header can include data that indicates a protocol layer to which such data is directed or targeted. The MAC header can allow a portion of data (e.g., PDUs, SDUs, etc.) to bypass at least one protocol layer above the MAC protocol layer for efficient and optimized processing of such data.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate identifying a plurality of keysets utilized in a communications network. The keysets can include ciphering keys that provide data encryption and decryption and integrity keys that provide data integrity protection. A key identifier can be included in a packet data convergence protocol header that indicates a keyset employed in connection with data in a protocol data unit. In addition, a route indicator can be provided in a radio link control header that distinguishes a source cell and a target cell in networks configured without RLC reset.
摘要:
A data packet communication system employs data encryption in a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) and radio link control (RLC) in Layer 2 of transmission between a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX). A single sequence number is used for both the PDCP and RLC to reduce overhead by signaling a TX PDCP first ciphering sequence number to the RX prior to encrypted data packet communication. A sequence number accompanies each RLC PDU, which can encompass concatenated or segmented service data units (SDUs) from the higher layer PDCP. This sequence number is sufficient for the RLC to perform re-ordering, gap detection, retransmission, etc., while also allowing the RX upper layer PDCP to reconstruct a sequenced value used to encrypt content.
摘要:
A data packet communication system employs radio link control (RLC) transmission between a transmitter and a receiver with an Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) arrangement whereby polling of the receiver is accomplished with reduced amount of redundantly transmitted data, such as between an access node and terminal. Upon a polling event, such as emptying of a transmission buffer of the transmitter, expiration of a polling timer, or reaching a radio link control (RLC) protocol data units (PDUs) count threshold, the transmitter sends a polling command to the receiver. This polling command is smaller than any of the RLC PDUs, which are conventionally resent with a polling bit set to evoke a STATUS PDU from the receiver. With evolving communication standards tending toward larger PDUs, such as in excess of a kilobyte for HSPA+ (High-Speed Packet Access Evolution) and 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution), this inefficiency can be of increasing impact.

Systems, methods, and devices related to estimating backhaul quality, detecting Internet connectivity, and managing server load are described herein. In some aspects, a wireless device is configured to determine a characteristic of a communication link. The device includes a transmitter configured to transmit a request for a communication from a server. The device further includes a receiver configured to receive the communication from the server, over the communication link, in response to the request. The device further includes a processor configured to compute a target amount of at least one of traffic or time to receive the communication. The processor is further configured to terminate the communication based on the computed time or amount of traffic received. The processor is further configured to determine a characteristic of the communication link based on the communication from the server.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for intercepting socket calls from applications installed on a mobile device while a first wireless interface is active. The first wireless interface is a cellular interface. Upon determining to release the intercepted socket calls to the socket layer, a second wireless interface is activated. The second wireless interface is a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) interface. The sockets calls are released to the socket layer and transmitted using the activated second wireless interface. Upon substantially completing the socket calls, the second wireless interface is deactivated. The intercepting of the socket calls and the activation of the second wireless interface occurs while the mobile device is in an idle mode.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are provided that include decoding multicast broadcast communications where scheduling information related to a multicast channel is not properly received over a control channel. Media access control (MAC) packets can be decoded to determine whether a MAC subheader indicates the packet relates to a logical channel by indicating an associated channel identifier. Where the channel identifier of the MAC packet matches that of a requested logical channel, data in the MAC packet can be provided to a communications layer. Subsequent packets can be processed and provided to the communications layer until a different channel identifier is encountered.
