Abstract:
A method for using a flexible size radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU) on an uplink is described. A request for an RLC PDU is received from a medium access control (MAC) layer. Radio conditions for a first uplink carrier and a second uplink carrier are determined. A size of the RLC PDU is selected based on the radio conditions. The RLC PDU is generated. The RLC PDU is sent to the MAC layer.
Abstract:
A system and method enable handover from a DC-HSUPA-capable node in a cellular wireless network to a non-DC-HSUPA-capable node. According to various aspects of the present disclosure, a handover may implement a legacy serving cell change procedure or an enhanced serving cell change procedure. In either case, signaling from the network to user equipment includes information to enable the user equipment to change or remove an Active Set when undergoing a handover from a cell with two uplink carriers and accordingly two Active Sets, to a cell with one uplink carrier and accordingly one Active Set.
Abstract:
Adaptive De-Jitter Buffer for Voice over IP (VoIP) for packet switch communications. The de-jitter buffer methods and apparatus presented avoid playback of underflows while balancing end-to-end delay. In one example, the de-jitter buffer is recalculated at the beginning of each talkspurt. In another example, talkspurt packets are compressed upon receipt of all remaining packets.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided to enable a reduction in processing power while handling high data rates. An apparatus includes a processing system configured to service a MAC PDU. Here, the MAC PDU includes a MAC header and at least one MAC SDU. The MAC header includes a transmission sequence number (TSN) having a length greater than 6 bits. Further, the processing system is configured to read the MAC header and to transport the MAC PDU in accordance with the MAC header between a MAC and a PHY utilizing one or more transport blocks over one or more transport channels.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that effectuate and/or facilitate MAC-hs/ehs resets in an enhanced serving cell. In accordance with various aspects set forth herein, systems and/or methods are provided that identify transmission power control bits included in active set update messages received from source or target base stations, ascertain whether or not transmission power control values included in the active set update messages differ from transmission power control values that the system currently operates under, and performs serving cell changes and where necessary media access control status resets based on an examination of a transmission power control combination index.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate indicating channel resource usage information for receiving additional channel resources in a wireless network. An access point can initially receive a set of channel resources from a network controller for providing wireless network access to one or more devices. The access point can grant and/or deny requests for one or more of the channel resources from a plurality of devices and can feedback information to the network controller regarding the granting/denying. The network controller can determine a load on the access point based at least in part on the feedback information and adjust channel resource allocation based on the load. Thus, where an access point has granted close to capacity of allocated resources to one or more devices, the network controller can provide additional resources to the access point based on received feedback information related to the granted resources.
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system in which a user using a mobile equipment requests a serving cell handoff from a source cell to a target cell, the mobile equipment monitors authorization for the handoff from the target cell. At the same time, the mobile equipment can decode data from either the source cell or the target cell. Upon receipt of authorization for the handoff, the mobile equipment sends confirmation of the handoff to the target cell.
Abstract:
Methods and systems to enhance local repair in robust header compression (RoHC) decompressors (110, 114), which may improve network transmission efficiency and quality. One method uses lower layer information to enhance local repair at the decompressor (110, 114). Another method uses a user datagram protocol (UDP) checksum to enhance local repair at the decompressor (110, 114).
Abstract:
A system and method for optimizing robust header compression between a compressor (residing at AN/AT) and a decompressor (residing at AT/AN), the method comprising initializing the compressor with an estimated jitter value before the compressor; notifying the decompressor of the estimated jitter value before the compressor; estimating various threshold limits at the decompressor based on the sum of the jitter between the compressor and the decompressor (JITTER_CD) and that before the compressor (JITTER_BC); the decompressor sending a JITTER option whenever the threshold limits are exceeded; and the compressor adjusting a packet size in response the received JITTER option. The estimated jitter value before the compressor may be based on simulations or channel characteristics. Notification to the decompressor of the jitter value before the compressor may be achieved by signaling or hard-coding a same value at the compressor and the decompressor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to interpreting the change in the increment of the RTP TS field as occurring either due to silence suppression for a voice flow or a change in sampling/frame rate of a video flow. By interpreting this change correctly, the value of the TS_STRIDE field in robust header compression may be correctly calculated leading to efficient header compression performance. In one aspect, there is disclosed a method of improving ROHC between an Access Network (AN) having a compressor and an Access Terminal (AT) having a decompressor, comprising providing flow information to the compressor relating to a change in the increment of an RTP TS field of a header; determining the change in the increment of an RTP TS field as occurring either due to silence suppression or due to a change in a sampling/frame rate; and taking appropriate action for TS_STRIDE.
