Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate providing frequent secondary carrier measurement reports in multicarrier wireless communications. Secondary carrier measurement reports can be provided based on anchor carrier measurement reports. When an event or request to generate an anchor carrier measurement report is received, the anchor carrier measurement report can be generated along with a secondary carrier measurement report. In this regard, access points can receive the carrier measurement reports and determine mobility for a wireless device based on more than one carrier.

Methods and apparatus for providing modified timestamps in a communication system. In an aspect, a method includes receiving one or more packets associated with a selected destination, computing an average relative delay associated with each packet, determining a modified timestamp associated with each packet based on the average relative delay associated with each packet, and outputting the one or more packets and their associated modified timestamps. In an aspect, an apparatus is provided for generating modified timestamps. The apparatus includes a packet receiver configured to receive one or more packets associated with a selected destination and processing logic configured to compute an average relative delay associated with each packet, determine a modified timestamp associated with each packet based on the average relative delay associated with each packet, and output the one or more packets and their associated modified timestamps.

Abstract:
Providing for improved wireless communications for user equipment (UE) in a semi-active state is described herein. By way of example, a base station can employ particular wireless channel resources, monitored by a UE in a CELL_FACH state for instance, to trigger channel feedback information from the UE. The trigger can comprise an explicit order instructing the UE to provide data in response, or can include a portion of downlink traffic targeting the UE, where the UE is configured to respond in a suitable manner to receipt of traffic data. The UE can maintain the CELL_FACH state in receiving to and responding to the trigger, and can further receive subsequent traffic data in such state. Accordingly, the subject disclosure provides for improved efficiency and reliability in semi-active state wireless communications.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for improved data transmission control protocols. Acknowledgment streams are used by a sender process to generate various estimates of eligible transmission rates that are fair to other processes competing for bandwidth across a common network. In addition, the acknowledgment streams are used in conjunction with various other standard transmission control protocol metrics to adapt a filter for use on the rate estimates. Additional improvements in throughput may no be had by measuring the overall capacity of the computer network using packet pair dispersion measurements and adaptive network probing. In addition, the methods may be adapted for both packet transmission and video streaming applications.

Abstract:
Systems and methods provide a discovery protocol allowing nodes that are interested in knowing a network topology to discover other nodes in the network topology. The discovery protocol includes two message types, topology discovery messages and topology query messages. A node issues topology discovery messages upon powering up, at periodic intervals, or upon detecting a change in network topology. The topology discovery messages are broadcast to all nodes on a network and identify the issuing node to the network. A topology query message is sent to a particular node and requests a response from the receiving node regarding the neighboring nodes of the receiving node. The querying node can use the response data to discover other nodes and to send the discovered nodes query messages such that the node can determine a network topology to a desired level of depth within the network.
Abstract:
In aspects of the present disclosure, a user equipment receives inter-NodeB multi-point transmissions, and a multipoint aggregation component detects a gap in the sequence numbers, delays transmitting a not acknowledged signal (NAK) by starting a NAK delay timer, and transmits, by a transceiver, NAK for the gap in sequence numbers in response to the NAK delay timer expiring and detecting that the gap has not been filled during the delaying. If the Medium Access Control (MAC) entity as the respective NodeB identifies itself to the Radio Link Control (RLC), out-of-order delivery (skew) can eventually be distinguished from genuine data loss before the NAK delay timer expires based upon tracking the highest sequence numbers received. Adaptive NAK delay timer can be performed by monitoring skew duration.
