摘要:
An apparatus and method to retain subscribers to a communication service includes a first step (100) of defining at least one retention limit for a subscriber. A next step (102) includes estimating a communication parameter for the subscriber. A next step (104) includes comparing the communication parameter against the retention limit. A next step (106) includes improving a communication experience for the subscriber in response to the comparison of the estimated communication parameter and the retention limit.
摘要:
Logic circuitry (409) constantly monitors a transmitter (410) to determine if the transmitter (410) is idle. Logic circuitry (409) suppresses all NAKs until data and other channel information is not being transmitted by the transmitter (410) and RF resources are not scarce. Additionally, logic circuitry (409) suppresses all NAKs until a predetermined number of NAKs has been buffered by the logic circuitry (409). More particularly, logic circuitry (409) determines when a number of NAKs will sufficiently fill an over-the-air frame. Once the predetermined number of NAKs has been collected, the logic circuitry (409) will generate the appropriate NAKs.

In the present technique of a transmission process, at least one portion of a data packet is sent (608) responsive to a first triggered relating to the data packet being detected (606), which is followed by a second trigger (628) that triggers at least one remaining portion of the data packet to be sent (630).

Methods for dividing resources of base stations among multiple mobile stations are provided. According to one embodiment of the invention, an overlapping group having a plurality of mobile stations that are overlapped between at least two cellular areas are generated (310) to provide a plurality of overlapping mobile stations, which are ranked (320) based, at least in part, on at least one threshold. A maximum number of the plurality of overlapping mobile stations having a highest ranking that can be assigned with reserved frequency and timing assignments are selected (322) to provide a plurality of selected overlapping mobile stations. These selected overlapping mobile stations are assigned (324) using the reserved frequency and timing assignments.
摘要:
A stream of packets is monitored. When a first packet in the stream of packets is detected to be destined for a target mobile station (110), the first packet is intercepted. Subsequently, a small initialization packet is sent to the target mobile station (110). The small initialization packet structured to inform the target mobile station (110) of an identity of an originating application that is initiating a communication session with the target mobile station (110).

Various embodiments are described for improving network access through multi-stage signaling. Logic flow diagram 10 in FIG. 1 depicts functionality performed by a wireless communication system in accordance with multiple embodiments of the present invention. A network node configures (12) a shared indicator code for indicating an emergency and/or a group call access occurring in that sector. Thus, when an MS performs an emergency access, it transmits (13) an access signal on both the shared indicator code and on a randomly selected code. This more quickly notifies the network that there is at least one MS in the sector. Once aware that such an access is occurring in that sector, the network may (14) provision additional access resources, estimate the number of MSs transmitting based on the received power on that indicator code, start backing off non-emergency traffic, and/or begin transmitting communication without waiting for authentication to complete.
摘要:
At a mobile station (102), an indication (111, 114, 116, 118) is received of at least one ambient condition. Based at least in part upon the indication of the at least one ambient condition, a media selection is determined. The media selection is then presented to a user at the mobile station (102).
摘要:
Various embodiments are described to address the need for channel maintenance/channel quality signaling that can better utilize reverse link capacity and conserve battery life. Generally expressed, a remote unit (101) enters (403) a high-rate-channel-maintenance mode in which it transmits channel maintenance signaling. When a low-rate condition is met (405), the remote unit enters (407) a low-rate-channel-maintenance mode in which it transmits channel maintenance signaling at either a lower rate or a lower transmit power than when in the high-rate-channel-maintenance mode. Then when a high-rate condition is met (409), the remote unit reenters the high-rate-channel-maintenance mode.

A method and apparatus of a waking up a communication unit (102-104) from a sleep mode is disclosed. The method includes determining the power resources of a communication unit. The communication unit monitors a quick paging channel and a paging channel when the power resources of the communication unit a below a threshold and the communication unit monitors only the paging channel received by the communication unit with the power resources of the communication unit is above the threshold or has a constant power source.
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).
