Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure allow a mobile station (MS) to proactively request neighbor base station information from a serving base station, for example, if a mobile neighbor advertisement (MOB_NBR-ADV) message is not received (or expected) in a predetermined time period.
Abstract:
A method for frame number synchronization in a wireless communication network may be implemented by a base station. The method may include determining a current time from a timing source that is common to multiple other base stations. The method may also include determining a time offset between the current time and a reference time, wherein the base station and the multiple other base stations use the same reference time for determining the time offset. The method may also include determining a current frame number based on the time offset.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments provide techniques for background scanning in a wireless communication device receiving signals from multiple base stations using a background scanning processor separate from a receive processor. The techniques generally include buffering raw signal data from multiple base stations, forwarding the raw signal data to a receive baseband processor for decoding data from a first one of the base stations that is currently designated as a serving base station with an active connection to the wireless communications device, forwarding the raw signal data to a background scanning processor, separate from the receive baseband processor, and generating channel characteristics corresponding to the multiple base stations with the background scanning processor without interrupting the exchange of data with the first base station designated as the serving base station.
Abstract:
In certain wireless communications systems, such as TD-SCDMA, frames are divided into sections allocated for various communication purposes such as uplink and downlink transmissions. In such schemes, there may be no mechanism to generate gaps for a UE to employ for non-allocated purposes, such as inter-frequency or inter-RAT measurement. To generate gaps for such purposes the UE may employ rate-matching techniques to take certain allocated time slots for the UE and reserve them for inter-RAT measurement or other purposes. The rate-matching techniques generate unconfigured slots.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for effective measurement in a second Radio Access Technology (e.g., TD-SCDMA) while receiving service in a first Radio Access Technology (e.g., GSM).
Abstract:
Techniques for efficient transmission of messages in a ranging procedure between a mobile station (MS) and a base station (BS) are provided. The techniques may allow efficient bandwidth allocation for the ranging procedure.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a data processing method comprising the steps of processing a first sample set associated with first results of tracking a target in a number of image frames using a first object classifier arranged to operate according to a first feature and processing a second sample set associated with second results of tracking the target in said number of image frames using a second object classifier arrange to operate according to a second feature, and using at least one of the first and second tracking results to influence at least one particle filter adapted to influence at least one of subsequent first and second tracking results.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for operating in a first RAN at a working frequency, determining a priority of measurement tasks enabled by the first RAN, and dynamically scheduling the tasks according to the priority. For certain aspects, the first RAN may be a TD-SCDMA network. The measurement tasks are intended to measure at least one parameter of a serving cell in the first RAN on a primary frequency, at least one cell in the first RAN on at least one frequency other than the primary frequency, one or more cells in at least one RAN other than the first RAN (e.g., a GSM network) or any combination thereof. This dynamic assignment allows the UE to make scheduling decisions on which frequencies and RANs to measure, as well as how often these frequencies and RANs are measured, thereby providing for more efficient use of idle slots over conventional haphazard scheduling.
