摘要:
A method for concurrent bandwidth aggregation (COBA) for a client via multiple wireless networks includes requesting a packet data session for a first path on a first wireless network using a first modem of the multi-modem UE via a packet core network of the first wireless network. The method further includes requesting a packet data session for a second path on a second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network using a second modem of the multi-modem UE. The method also includes receiving packet data over at least the second path on the second wireless network via the packet core network of the first wireless network.

A method of facilitating communication in a wireless ad-hoc network comprises: generating, at a node in the wireless ad-hoc network, target availability information with regard to one or more transmission slots, the target availability information indicating whether the node is permitted to receive a transmission during each transmission slot; generating, at the node, owner availability information with regard to one or more transmission slots, the owner availability information indicating whether the node is permitted to transmit during each transmission slot; and broadcasting, from the node, the target availability information and the owner availability information to separately indicate availability as either an owner or a target for one or more transmission slots.
摘要:
Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for the reduction of signaling to the core network of a wireless communications system. In one example, a proxy receives a request message transmitted from a mobile device to the core network. The proxy traps the request message to prevent it from being forwarded to the core network. The proxy generates a request accept message in response to the trapped request message, the request accept message spoofing a core network response to the request message. The proxy transmits the request accept message to the mobile device.

Techniques for dynamic task distribution and processing in a wireless communication system are described. In one embodiment, the wireless communication system includes a sensor configured to measure a characteristic and to transmit information indicative of the measured characteristic. The system includes a mobile device configured to receive and aggregate the information transmitted by the sensor, perform one or more tasks related to the aggregated information, determine whether a condition necessary for transferring a subset of the tasks is satisfied, and transfer the subset of the tasks for further performance. The system further includes a local gateway device configured to receive and aggregate the information indicative of the measured characteristic from the sensor and perform tasks related to the aggregated information, receive and perform the transferred subset of the tasks from the mobile device, and transfer the tasks for further performance.

摘要:
Out of band (OOB) communication facilitates femtocell operation. One or more proximity agent provides out of band communication with nodes (e.g., mobile client devices) to provide assistance in or otherwise facilitate femtocell discovery, reselection, and/or interference mitigation. Out of band communication techniques provide for low power discovery, association, and communication as compared to corresponding femtocell or cellular network communication techniques. An OOB proximity agent is provided in association with a femtocell to provide transmit power level control with respect to the femtocell. In operation, if a client device searches for and finds an OOB proximity agent, it will find a femtocell, thereby avoiding a need to aggressively search for femtocells.

Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for supporting macrocell-to-femtocell hand-ins of active macro communications for mobile access terminals. A femto-proxy system is provided including a femtocell and an out-of-band (OOB) proxy. While the femtocell may be addressed by the macro network according to a potentially non-unique identifier (e.g., its PN offset), the OOB proxy is addressable according to a unique OOB identifier (e.g., a Bluetooth device address, BD_ADDR). When the mobile access terminal is in proximity to the femto-proxy system, it detects the OOB proxy and communicates the unique OOB identifier to the core network via the macro network (e.g., as part of a measurement report). The OOB identifier is mapped (e.g., in the core network) to the femtocell, allowing the core network to uniquely identify the appropriate target femtocell for active hand-in.
摘要:
Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for mitigating macrocell interference during femtocell discovery in a wireless communications system. In one example, a mobile device may be camped on a macrocell. A femtocell transmits out-of-band (OOB) discovery signals to, or receives OOB band discovery signals from, the mobile device to facilitate presence detection. The femtocell may also be configured to use various techniques to transmit in-band beacon bursts (e.g., low or high power beacon bursts) to the mobile device in the macrocell frequency range to trigger the mobile device to perform an inter-frequency scan for cell reselection. The femtocell may transmit communications signals to the mobile device in a femtocell frequency range (different from the macrocell frequency range) after the mobile device has discovered and selected the femtocell.
摘要:
Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for using an out-of-band (OOB) radio integrated with the femtocell to implement various novel proximity detection techniques. Proximity detection of access terminals (ATs) in the femtocell's access control list (ACL) can be desirable to support femto connectivity and service provision, for example, in context of idle macro-to-femto handoffs, active macro-to-femto hand-ins, etc. Implementations implement OOB proximity detection through multicasting directed proximity request messages to each AT in a femtocell's ACL. Responses to the proximity request message can include identification information used to determine the specific AT that is in proximity.
