Abstract:
A method and a system for radio network environment detection and reporting in a network handover and a media independent handover (MIH) apparatus are provided. The method includes the following: an MIH function (MIHF) at a terminal side initiates a network scan, and generates a parameter report on a radio network environment around the terminal including dynamic information and static information of a scanned point of access (PoA) after the scan is completed; the MIHF at the terminal side sends the parameter report on the radio network environment to an upper layer at the terminal side or to an MIHF at a network side. The method and system support homogeneous and heterogeneous network environments at the same time.

Abstract:
A mobile communication device for access procedure enhancement is provided. In the mobile communication device, a wireless module performs wireless transmissions and receptions to and from a service network. Also, a controller module transmits an access probe to the service network via the wireless module, and retransmits the access probe in response to not receiving an acknowledgement of the access probe from the service network via the wireless module in a waiting period of time. The waiting period of time is determined according to a coherence-time related offset. The controller module further repeats the retransmission of the access probe until the acknowledgement of the access probe is received from the service network via the wireless module
Abstract:
A mobile communication device for load balancing management is provided. In the mobile communication device, a wireless module receives data communication services via a first service node and receives a plurality of system information messages from the first service node and a plurality of second service nodes, wherein each of the system information messages has a forward-link quality threshold corresponding to a respective service node. Also, a controller determines a traffic type of the data communication services and a signal indicator of the first service node, and determines whether the signal indicator is less than the forward-link quality threshold corresponding to the first service node. In response to that the signal indicator is less than the forward-link quality threshold corresponding to the first service node, the controller switches the data communication services from the first service node to one of the second service nodes according to the traffic type.
Abstract:
An apparatus for performing a soft handoff including a power estimator, cell selector, and feedback channel generator. The power estimator receives a plurality of pilot signals that each correspond to an associated base station within an active set registry, and estimates a power level for each of the plurality of pilot signals. The cell selector is coupled to the power estimator, and is configured to select one or more base stations within the active set registry for selective blanking of a corresponding one or more of the plurality of pilot signals during a soft handoff operation. The feedback channel generator is coupled to the cell selector, and is configured to generate a cell selection feedback signal indicating the one or more base stations, where the cell selection feedback signal is subsequently transmitted to the one or more base stations, and where the cell selection feedback signal directs the one or more base stations to perform the selective blanking.
Abstract:
A method for acquiring positioning information includes receiving, at a mobile terminal (MT), downlink data in a plurality of downlink slot frames from a serving base station transmitting the downlink data over a first time period generally corresponding to the plurality of downlink slot frames. The MT experiences a relatively silent period during which the serving base station substantially ceases transmission to the mobile terminal during a second time period that defines a transmission power modification period. The MT also receives a preamble broadcasted by various neighbor base stations, the preamble broadcasted by such base stations occurring during a third time period which at least partially overlaps the second time period. The location or position estimate of the MT can be calculated based upon at least the preamble broadcasted by the neighbor base stations.
Abstract:
Methods, compositions and articles of manufacture for assaying a sample for a target polynucleotide are provided. A sample suspected of containing the target polynucleotide is contacted with a polycationic multichromophore and a sensor polynucleotide complementary to the target polynucleotide. The sensor polynucleotide comprises a signaling chromophore to receive energy from the excited multichromophore and increase emission in the presence of the target polynucleotide. The methods can be used in multiplex form. Kits comprising reagents for performing such methods are also provided.
