Abstract:
A method for facilitating remote downloading, in accordance with particular embodiments, includes receiving, at a proxy server maintained by a wireless service provider, a remote download request. The remote download request is relayed to the proxy server via at least one component of a wireless service provider's network. The remote download request includes an address associated with at least one file hosted by a remote server. The method also includes downloading the at least one file from the remote server to the proxy server. Upon detecting a presence of the endpoint, the method includes transferring the at least one file from the proxy server to the endpoint via a femto base station associated with the endpoint.

The method also includes receiving a plurality of personal preference profiles. Each personal preference profile of the plurality of personal preference profiles is associated with a different user of a plurality of users and includes at least one preferred state associated with a respective user. The method further includes detecting a presence of at least one user within a room. The method additionally includes adjusting at least one state associated with the room based on the at least one preferred state associated with the at least one user within the room, the power rate information, and the power usage information.
Abstract:
A method for facilitating remote downloading includes receiving, at a home media gateway associated with at least a first endpoint, a remote download request generated by a web browser running on the first endpoint. The remote download request is relayed to the home media gateway via at least one component of a wireless service provider's network. The wireless service provider provides user authentication for the remote download request. The remote download request includes an address associated with at least one file hosted by a remote server. The method also includes downloading the at least one file from the remote server to the home media gateway. The method further includes, upon detecting a presence of the first endpoint, uploading the at least one file from the home media gateway to the endpoint.
Abstract:
A method for evaluating a wireless service network includes receiving information indicative of a wireless coverage area associated with each of a plurality of base stations within a geographic area. The method also includes determining a threshold performance requirement within the geographic area. The method additionally includes simulating a deployment of at least one femto base station within the geographic area. The method further includes determining at least a first performance parameter based on the simulated deployment of the at least one femto base station within the geographic area. The method further includes generating a deployment recommendation based on at least the first performance parameter and the threshold performance requirement. The deployment recommendation may indicate whether to deploy the at least one femto base station within the geographic area.
Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method and system for allocating power in a transmission system may be provided. A method may include determining a channel quality for each of a plurality of subcarriers, wherein the channel quality for each individual subcarrier is equal to the signal-to-interference and noise ratio for the individual subcarrier divided by the power allocated to the subcarrier. The method may also include allocating power to a subset of the plurality of subcarriers, wherein each individual subcarrier of the subset has a channel quality greater then each individual subcarrier not of the subset. The method may further include transmitting a signal on each of the individual subcarriers of the subset.
Abstract:
According to an example embodiment, a method for wireless communication includes establishing a communication session between a base station associated with a wireless network and a network access device associated with a separate communications network. The network access device provides the base station access to the communications network. The method further includes receiving location information from the network access device. The location information describes the location of the network access device. The network device receives the location information from a server on the communications network. In addition, the method includes providing a service to at least one wireless device utilizing the location information.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a method for wireless communication comprises providing, at a base station, a plurality of endpoints with access to a wireless network. The method also comprises the base station entering a low power mode, wherein the base station ceases to provide the plurality of endpoints with access to the wireless network while in the low power mode. In addition, the method comprises the base station transitioning to an active mode from the low power mode during a first predetermined time, wherein the first predetermined time is identified by the base station and at least one endpoint before the base station transitions to the active mode. Further, if the base station receives a request to access the wireless network from at least one endpoint after transitioning to the active mode during a second predetermined time, the method comprises the base station remaining in the active mode. If the base station does not receive a request to access the wireless network from at least one endpoint after transitioning to the active mode during the second predetermined time, the method comprises the base station transitioning to the low power mode.
Abstract:
A method for activating a femto base station includes transmitting at least one binding message that binds at least one access point with a collocated femto base station. The method also includes determining the collocated femto base station is in a power saving mode. The method additionally includes transmitting via the access point a request requesting that the collocated femto base station is put into an operational mode.
