Abstract:
A method for priority-based network congestion control may be implemented by a network entity. The method may include determining one or more priorities associated with a service request that is being processed by the network entity. The method may also include determining resource availability. The method may also include determining whether to grant the service request based on the one or more priorities associated with the service request and the resource availability.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure allow a mobile station (MS) to maintain data activity while performing handover operations within the WiMAX network and listening to a CDMA 1x paging cycle. According to aspects, the MS maintains timing of a base station (BS) in a first radio access technology (RAT) and a BS in a second RAT. The MS may determine an expected timing of a paging cycle in the second RAT and send a sleep request to the BS in the first RAT such that the sleep interval coincides with the timing of the paging cycle in the second RAT. The MS may perform operations to ensure a sleep interval, after performing handover operations, coincides with the timing of the paging cycle in the second RAT.
Abstract:
A mobile station may send a first handover indication message to a serving base station. The first handover indication message may include a first resource retain time. The mobile station may start a resource retaining timer using the first resource retain time. The mobile station may perform handover procedures. The mobile station may determine whether the resource retaining timer is within a threshold of expiring. The mobile station may send a second handover indication message to the serving base station if the resource retaining timer is within the threshold of expiring.

A method of wireless communication includes communicating information with a neighbor Node B in a subframe. The information is associated with uplink timing. The method includes communicating with a serving Node B in the subframe.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for utilizing synchronization shift (SS) bits in Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) based uplink communications. The SS bits can be used for various purposes different from indicating timing of transmissions from a Node B to a user equipment.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for processing received downlink synchronization shift commands for timing adjustments of uplink transmissions in Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) wireless systems.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for synchronized radio link control (RLC) and/or media access control (MAC). For example, there is provided a method that involves generating an RLC protocol data unit (PDU) according to a segmentation protocol for maximizing RLC PDU size while allowing the RLC PDU to fit into a defined MAC transport block, the RLC PDU comprising at least one RLC service data unit (SDU) or RLC SDU segment. The method may involve determining a PDU data size for each given RLC SDU. The method may further involve (a) attaching a given RLC SDU to the RLC PDU and (b) delivering the RLC PDU to a lower layer, in response to a SDU data size for the given RLC SDU exceeding a defined size limit.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for scheduling paging intervals in a multimode terminal (MMT) whenever a paging interval conflict between two different networks occurs. Certain aspects provide a method for communicating, by an MMT, with first and second networks via first and second radio access technologies (RATs), such as Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 1×RTT (Radio Transmission Technology), Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO), or Wideband CDMA (WCDMA). The method generally includes determining that an overlap will occur between a first paging interval of the first network and a second paging interval of the second network, selecting between the first and second paging intervals based on at least one parameter associated with the first and second paging intervals, and detecting a message associated with paging based on the selected paging interval.
Abstract:
Avoiding collisions when executing Handover or initial access (Random access requests) due to the use of the same synchronisation code, SYNC-UL code, at the same Uplink pilot channel, UpPCH, in the same Uplink pilot Time Slot, Up-PTS, in a TD-SCDMA system. The method may comprise receiving a signal that identifies N subframes of a subframe cycle including M subframes, wherein an uplink pilot channel in each of said N identified subframes is available for initial access and a hard handover, wherein N and M are positive integers, and wherein N is less than M. Further, the method may comprise receiving a signal that identifies G synchronization codes among H available synchronization codes, wherein each of said G identified synchronization codes is available for initial access only, wherein G and H are positive integers, and wherein G is less than H.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for facilitating handover in a TD-SCDMA system is provided. The method may comprise transmitting data to a serving Node B using a first set of assigned resources, and contemporaneously transmitting the data to at least one neighbor Node B using a second set of assigned resources.
