摘要:
Transfer of Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Services (MBMS) over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) service and idle mode unicast service for a mobile entity from a source base station to a target base station may be managed by a base station or mobile entity of a cellular wireless communications system (WCS). Operations related to the transfer may include obtaining an MBMS status of the mobile entity, and/or obtaining MBMS support information for the base station. A network entity may facilitate MBMS discovery by a mobile entity, by transmitting a data element to the mobile entity including service identifiers mapped to corresponding cell identifiers to indicate respective MBMS services to be broadcast in an WCS area on adjacent cells identified by respective ones of the cell identifiers. The MBMS services may be broadcast within the WCS area using the adjacent cells previously indicated in the data element.

摘要:
A method or system for managing demand-based multicast services in a wireless communications system (WCS) capable of both unicast and multicast signaling may include providing content requested by a mobile entity in an area of the WCS via a unicast session, determining that a concurrent demand level for the content exceeds a defined threshold for the area of the WCS, and initiating a multicast session for the content in the area of the WCS, in response to determining the concurrent demand level has exceeded the threshold. The method or system may include more detailed operations or aspects for measuring the concurrent demand level, transitioning signaling between unicast and multicast modes, communicating between network components, or related functions.

摘要:
Some implementations provide a method for prioritizing reverse link packets so that particular reverse link packets are transmitted with a reduced latency in order to improve spectral efficiency of the forward link. The method also optionally includes weighting packets according to their determined lengths, and transmitting packets based on the determined weights. In one implementation, the method includes sorting packets at least according to one of size, type and nature of the data in the packets. Accordingly, sorting of the packets includes at least one of determining the size and the type of each packet. In one implementation, sorting the packets includes deep-packet inspection to determine a respective priority value for each packet.

A method and apparatus facilitating priority indication and queuing for an access terminal is provided. The method may comprise receiving an access request from an access terminal (AT), determining that the AT is a priority AT and that no resources are available in response to the access request, transmitting an access deny message to the priority AT, queuing the access request until a resource becomes available, and transmitting a resource available message to the priority AT upon a determination that a resource has become available.

A method includes receiving data at a first access point. The method also includes generating, at the first access point, a transmission schedule based on the data. The transmission schedule indicates when the first access point is to transmit a fast initial link setup discovery (FD) frame. The method further includes selectively transmitting, from the first access point, FD frames based on the transmission schedule.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for providing uniform addressing for Machine-to-machine (M2M) services, including receiving by a first machine-to-machine (M2M) module a content from a first machine-to-machine (M2M) device using a first format, wherein the content is addressed for transmission to a second M2M device; converting the received content to a second format for transmission to a second M2M module, wherein the second M2M module is operable to convert the received content back to the first format for transmission to the second M2M device; and transmitting the converted content to the second M2M device through the second M2M module.
摘要:
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for dynamic association ordering based on service differentiation in wireless local area networks. A WiFi™ or other access point can broadcast beacon information to surrounding stations, and receive probe requests from those stations seeking to associate with the access point. The access point can determine a classification for each station, depending on station attributes such as subscription status, handoff status, or others. Stations receiving a higher classification can enter the association process sooner than those with lower classifications. The association order can be managed by inserting a delay in the probe response, by broadcasting the classifications which will be processed in the next beacon interval, or by adjusting the order in which association steps will be performed. Stations having higher classifications can be associated more quickly than lower-classification stations, in contrast to conventional association techniques which handle probe requests in the order received.
摘要:
A method and apparatus providing broadcast content over a unicast channel. The method and apparatus may be configured to determine whether content received using a broadcast type format is to be transmitted using a unicast type format, and to map the content to a unicast reservation upon a determination that the content is to be transmitted using the unicast type format.
