20130170480 | UPLINK RANDOM ACCESS DATA CHANNEL WITH HARQ - Devices and methods are provided for managing random access data channels in a wirelessly-enabled communications environment. An uplink (UL) random access (RA) channel is implemented to send data to an access point (AP) without requiring a UL allocation grant message to be sent on the downlink (DL) for UL timing adjustments. A mobile station (MS) sends a chosen sequence to the AP to indicate that a RA data transmission is being requested. The location and number of radio resources that are used for the UL RA data transmission are determined by the choice of a RA sequence initially sent by the MS. If UL timing has not been established, the AP is able to determine the timing of the UL RA data transmissions by deriving the offset of the initial RA request sequence transmission from the MS. | 2013-07-04 |
20130170481 | LOAD MONITORING SYSTEMS, NODES, AND RELATED METHODS - Load monitoring systems, nodes, and related methods are disclosed. According to an aspect, a load monitoring system includes multiple load monitoring nodes. Each node is in communication with a power measurement input and is configured to capture load data at the respective power measurement input. The system includes a network communications device configured to receive the captured load data from each of the load monitoring nodes and to communicate the captured load data to a remote computing device. | 2013-07-04 |
