Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods to affect the activity of a base station transmitter (BTS) in a cellular communications network based, at least in part, on operating conditions. In one particular example implementation, a BTS in a cellular communication network may be placed in a reduced power consumption state in response to events or conditions indicative of reduced demand for service in the cell serviced by the BTS.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication by a user equipment includes determining an allocation of a set of tones in a symbol for conveying data. The method further includes determining to use m-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) to modulate the data onto a subset of tones of the set of tones. The method further includes modulating the data onto the subset of tones based on a mapping, wherein the mapping maps pairs of data values with a largest Hamming distance from each other to pairs of constellation points with a maximum Euclidean distance from each other.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include devices, systems and methods for prevention of dropped calls. For example, a method for wireless communication is described. A wireless communication device begins an acquisition. A scan of absolute radio frequency channel numbers for supported bands is performed using a wideband receiver. The absolute radio frequency channel numbers that include a frequency correction channel are identified. A synchronization channel is decoded using data corresponding to the identified one or more frequency correction channels. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
The present patent application improves DARP by allowing multiple users on one time slot (MUROS). It comprises means and instructions for sharing signals on a single channel, comprising setting up a new connection, allocating a new time slot if there is an unused time slot on a channel frequency, selecting an used time slot for the new connection to share with an existing connection if there is not an unused time slot on the channel frequency, and selecting a different training sequence code for the new connection if the used time slot on the channel frequency has been selected for the new connection to share with an existing connection. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract:
A cellular communications system in which transmission of control signals for plural different remote stations is so displaced in time that the transmission of control signals for one remote station does not interfere with the transmission of control signals for another remote station, the displacement being sufficient to prevent contemporaneous reception of control signals by the remote station intended for the other remote station. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Co-channel communications methods, systems, and devices are provided. Embodiments can be utilized to allow multiple users on one time slot (MUROS). For example, a method for wireless communication by a first remote station can comprise receiving a first co-channel signal that has a first amplitude and a second co-channel signal that has a second amplitude, wherein a difference between the first amplitude and the second amplitude is less than a threshold; selecting one of the first co-channel signal and the second co-channel signal; and demodulating the selected co-channel signal. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
The present disclosure discusses devices, methods, and systems for improving signaling. This can occur, according to some implementations, by increasing a power of at least one signaling channel if errors on the signaling channel occur, comprising tracking quality of the at least one signaling channel, determining whether the at least one signaling channel has an error rate that is above a threshold, and increasing power to the at least one signaling channel if the error rate is above the threshold. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Co-channel operation systems, methods, and devices are discussed in this document. Some embodiments can include remote stations configured for co-channel operation with one or more other remote stations. Remote stations can generally comprise a processor and a memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions can be stored in the memory, and when executed by the processor cause a remote station to receive a first data sequence from a first base station; use the first data sequence to distinguish a first signal transmitted by the first base station from unwanted signals transmitted by one or more other base stations; and demodulate the first signal. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
