The method includes dividing up a carrier frequency into a plurality of subbands; scheduling one or more access terminals to share one of the plurality of subbands; and via one of the plurality of access nodes, first communicating with the one or more access terminals over the one of the plurality of subbands. The communicating includes, within the one of the plurality of subbands, time division multiplexing interlaces corresponding to each of the one or more access terminals.
Abstract:
A user equipment is provided with connection to a first mobile service network providing circuit-switched services. A first protocol module communicates with the first mobile service network. A circuit-switch tunneling control protocol module establishes a circuit-service tunnel to a second mobile service network providing packet-switched services. A circuit-switch tunneling data protocol module transmits a circuit-service tunneling message from the first protocol module to the second mobile service network via the circuit-service tunnel.
Abstract:
An access node wirelessly coupled to a plurality of access terminals, having a subband scheduler, a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplex elements, and a plurality of antennas. The subband scheduler receives precoded data, and schedules transmission of a preamble signal and a plurality of data streams. The plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplex elements converts the preamble signal and the plurality of data streams into a corresponding preamble tone and a corresponding plurality of data tones. The preamble tone indicates a mapping of the plurality of data tones to one or more of the plurality of access terminals. The plurality of antennas transmits the corresponding preamble tone and the corresponding plurality of data tones in timely fashion for receipt by the plurality of access terminals. The corresponding preamble tone and the corresponding data tones are transmitted over subbands of a code division multiple access (CDMA)-based carrier frequency.
Abstract:
Provided is automatic gain control (AGC) in which a feedback filter has a parameter that is changed based on information regarding data-packet boundaries. In one representative embodiment, the bandwidth of the filter temporarily is increased, or the time constant of the AGC filter temporarily is decreased, within a vicinity of each actual or potential packet boundary.
Abstract:
A user equipment for handling an attach procedure with a service network is provided. The user equipment comprises a wireless module transmitting an attach request message to the service network and receiving an attach accept message replied to the attach request message from the service network, and a controller determining whether to accept the attach accept message, sending an attach complete message, via the wireless module, to the service network in response to the attach accept message being accepted, and resending the attach request message, via the wireless module, to the service network in response to the attach accept message not being accepted.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for parallel decoding and data processing of Turbo codes are provided. The method includes: a codeword dividing step for dividing a whole codeword into Q sub-blocks to form a plurality of boundaries between adjacent sub-blocks of the Q sub-blocks so as to decode the Q sub-blocks, wherein the decoding process comprises P times of decoding iterations, and wherein Q is a positive integer and Q>1 and P is a positive integer and P>1; and a boundary moving step for moving at least one position of the boundaries formed in a pth decoding iteration by an offset Δ before performing a (p+n)th decoding iteration, wherein p is a positive integer and 1≦p
Abstract:
Time synchronization of an access point base station. The method may include receiving an assignment message from a service provider comprising a plurality of parameters. The plurality of parameters may include an access point base station frequency assignment, a network identifier, an access point base station identifier, a neighbor list, a PN offset, and/or a scrambling code. The access point base station may then synchronize with the macro base station. Synchronizing may include searching for a strongest macro base station in the neighbor list, synchronizing a long code of the access point base station to the macro base station, estimating a propagation delay between the macro base station and the access point base station, and initializing a state of the access point base station PN code using the propagation delay to provide system time synchronization.
Abstract:
Automatic provisioning of an access point base station or femtocell. The method may include the femtocell transmitting first information (e.g., location information, signal measurement information, capability information, etc.) to a service provider (e.g., over an IP network). The femtocell may receive second information from the service provider, where the second information includes one or more operational parameters. The operational parameters may include hand-off parameters, admission policy information, PN or scrambling codes, power parameters, and/or other parameters. The femtocell may operate according to the received parameters to provide access for a plurality of access terminals in a local area.
