Abstract:
A method and apparatus for operating a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) in basic transmission time interval (BTTI) and reduced transmission time interval (RTTI) mode includes a WTRU in RTTI mode and a WTRU in BTTI mode receiving a plurality of coded radio blocks, the WTRU in RTTI mode decoding all of the plurality of coded radio blocks and the WTRU is in BTTI mode decoding a portion of the plurality of coded radio blocks.
Abstract:
A method for reducing overhead when transmitting an Internet Protocol (IP) packet begins by selecting a watermarking signature based on the IP address of the packet. The watermarking signature is applied to the packet and the IP address is removed from the packet. The packet is sent to a receiver, which looks up the IP address of the packet by using the watermarking signature. The watermarking signature can be a radio frequency watermarking signature or a digital watermarking signature. A similar method employing watermarking can be used to reduce medium access control header overhead.
Abstract:
A connection between a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and another node through a wireless network is established. The connection is used for communication. A user input is received. In response to the received user input, a communication through the connection is recoded while the WTRU still communicates the communication to a user of the WTRU. The recorded communication is retrieved and the recorded communication is communicated to the user at a later time.
Abstract:
Tokens/keys are produced for wireless communications. These tokens/keys are used for watermarks, signature insertion, encryption and other uses. In one embodiment, contextual information is used to generate tokens/keys. The tokens/keys may be derived directly from the contextual information. The contextual information may be used in conjunction with other information to derive the tokens/keys. Tokens/keys may be exchanged between transmit/receive units. The exchange of these tokens/keys may be encrypted.
Abstract:
A wireless network provides controlled wireless communications with multi-mode wireless WTRUs (33, 37). The wireless network has at least one base station (25) having a transceiver operating in an infrastructure communication mode withmulti mode WTRUs and a controller that transmits control signals via infrastructure communications with a WTRU that control peer-to-peer mode communications (40) of that WTRU with other WTRUs. A WTRU has transceiver components configured for selective operation in an infrastructure communication mode with a network base station and in a peer-to-peer communication mode with other WTRUs. The WTRU also has a transceiver controller configured to selectively control peer-to-peer mode communications with other WTRUs based on communication signals received in infrastructure communications with a network base station. Preferably, the transceiver controller is configured to control the transceiver components to switch between infrastructure communication mode and peer-to-peer communication mode based on(duality of Service criteria).
Abstract:
In a system having a PLMN (12) and a WLAN IP GW (30), an Iur interface providing handover between a PLMN and the WIP-GW. Mobile internet protocol (Mobile IP) provides session management and data tunneling between the PLMN (home agent) and the WLAN. The WIP-GW functions as the foreign agent toward the PLMN. Services are provided by the PLMN MIP over DIAMETER for registration, authentication and subscriber management, working into the HLR/HSS (14) and the CGF (18) in the PLMN. The use of a single architecture to support the loose inter-working scenarios is such that the architecture minus the Iur interface and MIP becomes a loose inter-working architecture. The UMTS PLMN billing platform is made via the DIAMETER/UMTS inter-working. Authentication is provided by the UMTS PLMN HSS/HLR. The architecture concept can be broadened to cover the inter-working of other access technologies with UMTS.
Abstract:
Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) is utilized throughout the entire cellular network and employs routing headers of the packets to ensure that the packets are routed via the gateway router (GR) to the end destination which is accomplished by a user equipment (UE) specifying the IP address of the gateway router as the IP address of an intermediate router in the routing header. Packets may also be routed to UEs from the GR through an intermediate router.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device is configured as an in-home node-B (H(e)NB). The H(e)NB is configured to perform a locking function to control modification of carrier and user controlled parameters, and also configured to detect a change in location.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to hierarchical modulation (HM) and demodulation for global system for mobile communications (GSM)/enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) radio access network (GERAN) evolution. In one embodiment, HM symbols are generated by generating primary modulated symbols based on a first bit group, generating secondary modulated symbols based on a second bit group, and combining the primary modulated symbols and the secondary modulated symbols. In another embodiment, the HM symbols are demodulated. In yet another embodiment, a received GERAN signal is converted to baseband complex symbol values, which are processed to produce training symbols and data symbols that carry pilot symbols. Channel parameters of the radio channel are estimated based on the training symbols. An equalized signal is generated based on the estimated channel parameters and data symbol. Primary and secondary demodulated symbols are generated based on the equalized signal.
Abstract:
A method for adjusting the operating parameters of a wireless device for use in a wireless communication network begins by entering and storing situation settings. When a communication is received at the network for the wireless device, the presence of the wireless device is determined. The situation settings are applied based upon the presence of the wireless device. The wireless device is informed of the communication via the applied situation settings.
