Abstract:
Wireless communication in a multicarrier radio access network may be implemented where a user equipment (UE) maintains communication with various carrier frequencies in the multicarrier network. The UE will receive an indication from a node B to measure a signal quality on one of a number of carrier frequencies in the network. The UE will then measure the signal quality on the carrier frequency based on measurements using a downlink synchronization code transmitted by the node B on the downlink pilot channel of the carrier frequencies in the multicarrier network. The UE may then report the channel quality back to the node B.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for improving synchronization shift command convergence in Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) uplink synchronization.
Abstract:
A method for efficiently performing ranging in a wireless communication network may be implemented by a mobile station. The method may include sending a ranging code to a base station. The method may also include receiving a ranging response message from the base station. The method may also include determining whether a ranging failure condition is satisfied. The ranging failure condition may relate to something other than a duration of time. The method may further include re-sending the ranging code to the base station if the ranging failure condition is satisfied.
Abstract:
This application provides techniques for a mobile station (MS) to determine whether a base station (BS) successfully receives a response to a BS request for the MS to enter an idle mode.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for saving battery power in frequency division duplex (FDD) or half-duplex FDD (H-FDD) wireless networks.
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:
Methods and apparatus for improving performance and robustness of a handover procedure. For example, by handing over to a target base station (BS) that is co-located with a serving BS (i.e., a BS located in the same physical node as the serving BS), mobile station (MS) context transfers, handover preparation and downlink (DL) data continuity between the serving BS and the target BS may be simplified because the serving BS and the target BS are in the same physical node. Further, a location-based services advertisement (LBS-ADV) message may be enhanced to include sector center directions of the serving BS and neighboring BSs. Using this information, an MS may determine neighboring BSs that are adjacent to the serving BS and limit scanning operations and handovers to these adjacent BSs, thereby reducing the processing for those operations.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods and systems for translating quality of service (QoS) parameters of a first radio access technology (RAT), e.g., Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), to QoS parameters of a second RAT, e.g., code division multiple access (CDMA) high rate packet data (HRPD). The methods and systems facilitate a handover by a multi-mode mobile station or other wireless device from the first RAT to the second RAT and vice versa.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a method for addressing MAC protocol data units which include MOB_PAG-ADV messages in an attempt to improve the success rate of decoding BS broadcast paging messages. For example, certain embodiments propose parsing and continuing to decode MPDUs with MOB_PAG-ADV messages although the corresponding CRC failed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure proposes a method for incorporating a procedure of adding/changing a service flow of a mobile station into a handover process in order to avoid problem that the mobile station can handover to a neighbor base station that do not support the requested service flow operation. Furthermore, the proposed disclosure can reduce the processing delay by combining the handover process of the mobile station and the procedure of adding/changing the service flow.
