Abstract:
A data storage device includes a memory and a controller. The controller is configured to scramble data using a scramble key to produce scrambled data and to encode the scramble key to produce an encoded scramble key. The controller is further configured to store the encoded scramble key and the scrambled data to the memory.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure improve a robustness of some critical MAC management response massages transmitted from a base station (BS) to a mobile station (MS). In this way, a reliability of transmission can be increased and a messaging failure that results in out of sync state between the MS and the BS can be avoided.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure control whether or not certain protocol stack operation are performed in a hardware (HW) protocol stack accelerator based on ARQ/HARQ re-transmission rate. Latency penalties associated with using the HW accelerator are typically higher than the data movement overhead when this data does not need to be processed by the HW accelerator, such as when a re-transmission error occurs. According to certain embodiments, the HW accelerator is activated if the ARQ/HARQ re-transmission rate is below a threshold value. Otherwise, if the ARQ/HARQ re-transmission rate is above a threshold, at least a portion of the HW accelerator may be de-activated, which may reduce overhead associated with moving data between the protocol stack and the HW accelerator.
Abstract:
Techniques for an MS to establish one or more default service flows, after entering a WiMAX network are provided. The techniques presented herein may enable the MS to maintain said one or more default service flows during the sleep mode. The one or more default service flow may be utilized in quickly establishing a connection between a WiMAX BS and the MS following the sleep mode.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for bypassing the DCD/UCD message reception step in the network entry procedure in WiMAX systems by using DCD/UCD messages that are stored in a nonvolatile memory inside a mobile station.

Abstract:
In accordance with a method for implementing Short Message Service (SMS) in a WiMAX network, a mobile station may send a mobile station SMS request message to a base station. The mobile station SMS request message may include mobile-originated SMS data. In response, the base station may send a base station SMS response message back to the mobile station. For mobile-terminated SMS data, the base station may send a base station SMS request message to the mobile station. The base station SMS request message may include the mobile-terminated SMS data. In response, the mobile station may send a mobile station SMS response message to the base station. Ranging procedures and medium access control (MAC) management messages may be used to allocate bandwidth for the various messages.
