摘要： A system for improving the efficiency of a wireless communications network that employs a plurality of frequencies per cell. The system includes a first mechanism that monitors the network load associated with each of the plurality of frequencies and provides corresponding status values in response thereto. A second mechanism compares the status values to predetermined loading criteria and provides an indication in response thereto when one or more of the status values meet the criteria. A third mechanism redistributes the network load in accordance with the indication. In a specific embodiment, the criteria include one or more predetermined thresholds such that when one or more of the predetermined thresholds is surpassed by the one or more of the status values, the criteria are met. The status values are representative of loading conditions for communications system resources associated with each of the frequencies. The loading conditions are representative of currently available resources allocated for each of the plurality of frequencies. Each status value includes a hardware resource component, an air link resource component, and a handling resource component. Each component is indicative of respective remaining resources. The hardware resource component incorporates the number of currently available channel elements for an associated frequency. The air link resource component incorporates transmit power available for a particular frequency. The handling resource component incorporates the number of available Walsh codes for a particular frequency.

摘要： A visit to an overhead channel to obtain base station identifiers is made if it is necessary to do so. Base station identifiers are indicative of an approximate location of a terminal. The determination to update the base station identifiers may be made by monitoring one or more base stations in the terminal's active set. In another aspect, the terminal can originate a new data call immediately after the necessary base station identifiers have been obtained from the overhead channel, without having to wait for the expiration of a timer (e.g., the dormant timer). Moreover, by maintaining the data session when terminating the data call for the overhead visit, data communication may be more quickly resumed, for a new data call originated after the overhead visit, using the same configured protocols.

摘要： Various techniques for improving a wireless communication device are described. The techniques may include reducing power in a wireless communication device for a first sleep period and then increasing power in the wireless communication device for an intermediate wake period after the first sleep period to estimate an error of the sleep clock. The method may further include reducing power in the wireless communication device for a second sleep period after the intermediate wake period. The intermediate wake mode implemented during the intermediate period can be used to estimate the error of the sleep clock without performing one or more tasks associated with an awake mode, such as demodulation. The techniques may facilitate the effective use of low frequency low power clocks for sleep mode, even when relatively large slot cycles are defined within a slotted paging system.

摘要： A method of creating a path list for use in finger assignments comprising clearing a list of paths (12), choosing a sector for consideration from an active set of sectors (14), establishing a searcher window around the sector for cosideration (16), and determining up to “n” local maxima stronger than a threshold value (18). If a sector under consideration is transmitting on supplemental channels(19), the method involves artificially biasing the findings of the searcher window by a predetermined value (20). The biasing value may be constant, variable or proportional to the number of supplemental channels on the base station. After the local maxima corresponding to base stations transmitting on supplemental channels have been biased (20), the path lists are created (21).

摘要： Methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products are provided for an improved media content rating system. The rating system herein disclosed is highly-granular in nature, in that, the rating system allows for ratings to be based on the number of times that portions, segments, clips of the media file are played or otherwise executed, as opposed to basing the media content rating solely on the number of times that the media file is played. In this regard, the aspects herein described may further provide for ratings of the portions, segments, clips of the media content as opposed to limiting the rating to a rating for the overall media content file.

摘要： Techniques for minimizing call setup latency are disclosed. In one aspect, multiple signaling messages are encapsulated and sent as a single message thus reducing the total delay incurred by sequential transmission. In one embodiment, an encapsulation message includes a field indicating the number of messages encapsulated therein. In one example, the encapsulation is performed at a Link Access Control (LAC) layer. Alternate embodiments may perform encapsulation at an alternate layer.

摘要： A dynamic shared forward link channel (or “data” channel) is used to send multicast data to a group of wireless devices, e.g., using a common long code mask for the data channel. Reference power control (PC) bits are also sent on the data channel and used for signal quality estimation. A shared forward link control channel is used to send user-specific signaling to individual wireless devices, e.g., using time division multiplexing (TDM) and a unique long code mask for each wireless device. A shared forward link indicator channel is used to send reverse link (RL) PC bits to the wireless devices, e.g., using TDM. The data channel is jointly power controlled by all wireless devices receiving the data channel. The control and indicator channels are individually power controlled by each wireless device such that the signaling and RL PC bits sent on these channels for the wireless device are reliably received.

摘要： A subscriber unit that supports more than one voice service option and selects the appropriate voice service option when originating and receiving a call. The subscriber unit includes a memory to store parameter values, including a first voice service option parameter value and a second voice service option parameter value. The subscriber unit also includes a means for determining whether the subscriber unit is within a home system or is roaming, and a selecting means for selecting from among at least a first voice service option corresponding to the first voice service option parameter value and a second voice service option corresponding to the second voice service option parameter value. The selecting means selects the first voice service option if the subscriber unit is within the home system, and selects the second voice service option if the subscriber is roaming.
