摘要:
A method in a wireless communication system (100) dynamically updates paging gap times (314, 324) associated with a plurality of addresses (312, 322) of at least one wireless device (110) in a two phase paging system included in the wireless communication system (100). The method includes updating a first paging gap time (314) associated with a first address (312) of the at least one wireless device (110) in a two phase paging system, and updating a second paging gap time (324) associated with a second address (322) of the at least one wireless device (110), the second paging gap time (324) being different than the first paging gap time (314).
摘要:
An apparatus and method for monitoring (310) at least one factor relating to a wireless communication system (100) is provided such that a synchronization signal is sent (320) to at least one base transceiver station (130) neighboring a primary base transceiver station (120) at least in part according to a predetermined function of the monitored factor(s). The monitored factor may be any of several factors that weigh on the operation of the wireless communication system. The synchronization signal itself may vary in how it signals to the neighboring base transceiver station(s) (130) to synchronize with the data to be sent to a given mobile station (110) from its primary base transceiver station (120), and the number of synchronization signals sent over a given time may vary according to the predetermined function of the monitored factor(s).

A process (10) to facilitate determination of a particular data rate to use when communicating data with respect to a mobile station comprises providing (11) historical information regarding past radio frequency channel conditions, data quantity information (12) as corresponds to a current data file to be transmitted, and assessing (13) historical data transmission as correspond to the mobile station. One then selects (14) a data rate as a function of such information. In a preferred embodiment, this comprises varying a time scaling factor as a function of relative data file size, which time scaling factor serves to influence the extent to which past history serves to otherwise influence the selection of a particular data rate.

A system [100] includes a target set of communication devices [105] for a group call. An originator communication device [102] transmits a group call initiation for the group call. A communication and processing device [125] sequentially invites the target set of communication devices in response to detecting at least one predetermined characteristic of the group call. The sequentially inviting the communication devices comprises (a) initially inviting a first subset [130] of the target set of communication devices that comprising required communication devices, (b) subsequently invites a second subset [135] of the target set of communication devices in response to determining that the group call will be initiated, and (c) joins targets of the second subset of the target set of communication devices accepting the call initiation message to a communication session involving first targets of the first subset of the target set of communication devices accepting the call initiation message.

A communication device [400] includes a transceiver [405] to receive and transmit data. A message detection element [410] detects at least a first message and a second message in the data received by the transceiver [405]. A processor [400] modifies a state of the communication device [400] based on the first message and the second message. A positive acknowledgement is transmitted in response to the first message comprising a call pending message, and the state is modified to establish a session and inhibit an alerting of a user of the communication device. The state is modified to alert the user of the communication device [400] in response to the second message comprising a call start message.
摘要:
A system includes a base station transceiver to provide wireless service to a wireless coverage area, determine a low coverage region of the wireless coverage area, and generate incremental redundant transmissions comprising initial transmissions and subsequent transmissions to be transmitted. A smart antenna transmits the initial transmissions according to wide beam width smart antenna settings, and points at the low coverage region when transmitting the subsequent transmissions. The first transmissions and the second transmissions are transmitted on at least one of: a dedicated channel without fast feedback Automatic Request for Retransmission (“ARQ”), and a channel having negative acknowledgment (“NAK”) feedback.
摘要:
The need to decrease paging-related delays in wireless systems (100) is addressed by embodiments herein. A RAN (201) anticipates that an MS (120) is likely to be a target of communication not yet initiated. In one embodiment, a traffic channel is assigned to the MS, when a loading level of a serving cell of the MS is below an assignment threshold. This avoids paging-related delays for the MS should the MS become a target of communication. In another embodiment, the MS is signaled to transition to at least one operational mode in which paging-related delays for the MS are reduced. Such modes include a semi-dormant mode, an unslotted mode, a control hold mode, a speculative scanning mode, and a reduced slot cycle index (RSCI) mode. This allows the MS to begin participating in communication more quickly than it otherwise would, should communication targeting the MS be initiated.
摘要:
In general, paging-related delays are reduced by empowering an idle mobile (120) to initiate a transition to semi-dormant, unslotted mode, and/or RSCI modes, based on triggers (304) known to the MS. This is an efficient manner (in terms of both RF and battery-life cost considerations) in which to use semi-dormant and RSCI modes (306). If the MS (120) is able to anticipate a paging channel (PCH) message (for example, after sending or receiving an SMS or presence update), then the MS can intelligently reduce its slot cycle index for a short period of time, sacrificing a small amount of battery life, when the R-SCI is most likely to deliver improved service. Moreover, if the MS is low mobility (i.e. low idle handoff rate), then the MS can transition to a semi-dormant mode with very little cost, since it will not need to send many radio environment reports.

A method for managing allocation of connection identifiers (CIDs) to a wireless device in a network is provided. The method comprises allocating a CID to at least first wireless device based on a predefined criteria. The CID is allocated for at least one service accessed by the wireless device. The CID includes predetermined bit locations. The predetermined bit locations includes first predetermined bit locations and second predetermined bit locations. Further, the method comprises instructing the at least first wireless device to be responsive to messages that contain predetermined bit locations from the CID.
摘要:
The present application describes various embodiments that address the need to dynamically manage wireless call settings to more optimally utilize system capacity. When a radio access network (RAN)(e.g., 105, 110, and 120) receives a data packet (e.g., 200) associated with a wireless call, it determines an application type associated with the data packet and/or an internet domain associated with the call. The RAN then adjusts call settings associated with the wireless call based on the application type and/or on the internet domain. In this manner, call settings such as, but not limited to, a target frame error rate, radio link protocol (RLP) parameters, a supplemental traffic channel (SCH) assignment priority, a carrier assignment group, and a billing rate can be applied more dynamically with respect to services used in the call.
