Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure propose a technique that may be utilized to accelerate the processing of MAC management messages by an MS, allowing the MS to return to a lower power state sooner, thereby conserving power. An indication of whether or not data bursts in a downlink (DL) sub-frame contain MAC management messages may allow the MS to avoid needlessly processing of data bursts and return to a low power state sooner.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for bypassing the DCD/UCD message reception step in the network entry procedure in WiMAX systems by using DCD/UCD messages that are stored in a nonvolatile memory inside a mobile station.
Abstract:
This application provides techniques for a mobile station (MS) to determine whether a base station (BS) successfully receives a response to a BS request for the MS to enter an idle mode.

Abstract:
A base station (BS) may determine a fixed modulation scheme, a fixed PDU payload size, and a fixed number of PDUs per downlink burst for transmission of multicast data to subscriber stations. The BS may allocate downlink bursts to deliver the multicast data to the subscriber stations via PDUs using the fixed modulation scheme, the fixed PDU payload size, and the fixed number of PDUs per DL burst. A subscriber station (SS) may bypass the processing of multicast frames if the SS does not belong to any multicast groups. An SS may search for multicast connection identifiers (CIDs) in DL MAP IEs in multicast frames if the SS belongs to at least one multicast group. The SS may bypass the parsing of a PDU's MAC header within a corresponding downlink burst in the multicast frame in response to identifying a multicast CID in a DL-MAP IE in a multicast frame.

Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications by a multi-mode mobile station that supports communications with a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs). The RATs may include at least one short range RAT and at least one long range RAT. The method generally includes establishing a first connection with a first network via a short range RAT supported by the mobile station, taking signal quality measurements for one or more long range RAT supported by the mobile station, and transmitting the signal quality measurements via the first connection.
Abstract:
A memory system includes a status circuit having a common status node electrically connected to a respective status pad of each of a plurality of memory chips. The memory system also includes a plurality of resistors disposed within the status circuit to define a voltage divider network for generating different voltage levels at the common status node. Each of the different voltage levels indicates a particular operational state combination of the plurality of memory chips. Also, each of the plurality of memory chips is either in a first operational state or a second operational state. Additionally, the different voltage levels are distributed within a voltage range extending from a power supply voltage level to a reference ground voltage level.
