Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for managing co-channel interference on a traffic channel. In one embodiment, a serving cell provides a list of scrambling codes associated with a plurality of neighboring cells to user equipment currently being served by the serving cell. The user equipment receives a scrambling code transmitted by at least one neighboring cell on a traffic channel in a search frame. The user equipment descrambles the received scrambling code and evaluates signal strength of the at least one neighboring cell based on the output of the descrambled scrambling code. Then, the user equipment determines whether there is a co-channel interference from the at least one neighboring cell based on the evaluated signal strength, and wherein the at least one user equipment reporting existence of the co-channel interference from the at least one neighboring cell to a serving cell.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for enabling machine type communication in a long term evolution (LTE) network environment. In one embodiment, a Physical (PHY) layer of a LTE protocol stack maps data bits in resource elements of a logical channel to resource elements of a physical channel. The PHY layer identifies the data bits intended for legacy devices but mapped to a first set of resource elements of machine type communication (MTC) devices and the data bits intended for the MTC device but mapped to the second set of resource elements of the legacy devices. Accordingly, the PHY layer remaps the data bits intended for the legacy devices to the second set of resource elements and the data bits intended for the MTC devices to the first set of resource elements prior to transmission.

The present invention provides a method of selecting and applying Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configurations in a wireless network environment. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining location and time information associated with user equipment, and selecting at least one DRX configuration suitable for one or more applications miming on the user equipment from a plurality of DRX configurations based on location and time information. The method also includes transmitting information associated with the selected DRX configuration to a network entity so that the network entity applies the selected DRX configuration for the user equipment.
Abstract:
A method and system for dynamically adjusting Discontinuous Reception (DRX) settings of user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The method dynamically adjusts DRX settings based on network operator provided service or location of the UE and converged services supported by the network and so on. The UE indicates the network for adjusting DRX settings when DRX settings needs to be changed based on above parameters. Further, the wireless network provides the DRX settings to UE based on parameters. The method provides subscription information of the UE to access network. The method dynamically adjusts the DRX settings when the UE is in a Femtocell area or the UE associated with features like One Number. The UE can initiate a inter UE session transfer to the other UEs. The UE indicates the network that the sessions have been transferred. The network applies possible signaling optimizations to the UE.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method, an apparatus, and a system for dynamically managing a non-discontinuous reception mode specific to user equipments. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining statistical data associated with an ongoing data transfer session with a user equipment. Further, the method includes analysing the statistical data to determine a probability of establishing a new downlink TBF for a short time after the current TBF is released. The method also includes computing a non-DRX timer value for the ongoing data transfer session with the user equipment based on the analysis of the statistical data. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting a network message indicating the non-DRX timer value specific to the ongoing data transfer session to the respective user equipments. Moreover, the method includes operating in a non-DRX mode after the TBF is released and till the non-DRX timer value received in the network message is expired.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for indicating packet switched (PS) services capability information in a GPRS EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) environment. When a GERAN provides PS only services on a GERAN terminal, the GERAN terminal indicates its capability to support PS only services to a GERAN entity. Accordingly, the GERAN entity can deliver PS services data to the GERAN terminal operating a PS only mode over resources suitable for PS data communication.
