20110317642 | SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR TRANSMISSION SEQUENCE NUMBER MANAGEMENT IN AN INTRA-NODE B UNSYNCHRONIZED SERVING CELL CHANGE - Various aspects of the disclosure provide an intra-Node B unsynchronized serving cell change enabling the typical loss of packets resulting from such a procedure to be reduced or eliminated. In one example, when a UE ceases listening to a downlink channel from a first cell provided by a Node B and starts to configure its receiver to listen to a downlink channel from a second cell provided by the Node B, a continued incrementing of a sequence number may be stalled in the transmission of packets to the UE. That is, the TSN space may be stalled, such that HARQ retransmissions recur beyond the preconfigured maximum number of retransmissions, until the UE indicates that the serving cell change is complete. In another example, the transmission of packets to the UE from the first cell may be halted until the UE indicates that the serving cell change is complete. | 12-29-2011 |
20120014297 | Elastic Multiplexing for Shared Control Channels - A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing elastic multiplexing for shared control channels in a wireless device in a wireless communication system. The present work includes, but is not limited to, phase feedback for closed-loop transmit diversity (CL-TD) in mobile wireless communication systems. The method enhances system performance with control channel scheduling flexibility around resource conflicts such as blocking and preemption. The present work discloses an elastic multiplexing processor that is cable of carrying out the elastic multiplexing process. | 01-19-2012 |
20120147869 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING RESETS DURING HANDOVERS IN A SINGLE FREQUENCY DUAL CARRIER WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method, apparatus, and computer program product can provide for procedures at an access terminal for handling the delivery of packets from the MAC entity to the RLC entity, with an aim to reduce the occurrence of RLC resets that might otherwise be caused by out-of-order processing of control packets following a serving cell change. In one example, a MAC entity may insert an identifier into a packet delivered up to the RLC entity, to indicate whether the packet arrived from the current primary serving cell. In another example, a serving cell change procedure may include steps to flush a queue at the MAC entity and kill any running reordering release timers. In these ways potential problems caused by out-of-order control packets can be reduced or avoided. | 06-14-2012 |
20130136021 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SELECTIVELY RESETTING AND TRANSFERRING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CHANNEL - The present disclosure presents methods and apparatuses for selective channel reset. For example, the disclosure describes example methods that may include determining that a candidate cell exhibits superior communication properties on a carrier than does a serving cell. In an aspect, this carrier may correspond to an active serving cell channel. The example methods may also include adding a reset flag to a channel reconfiguration message based on the determining, where the reset flag instructs a user equipment to reset a subset of a set of channels associated with the serving cell and the subset includes the channel. Furthermore, example methods may include transmitting the channel reconfiguration message, for example, to a user equipment. Thus, a specified subset of channels associated with the user equipment may be reset, which reduces the signaling load, complexity, and power drain associated with legacy channel reset methods and apparatuses. | 05-30-2013 |

20130250853 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES TO IMPROVE ROUND TRIP TIME IN TRANSFER CONTROL PROTOCOL USING ACCELERATED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT MESSAGES - The present description provides methods and apparatuses for improved transfer control protocol (TCP) acknowledgement transmission during operation of a slow-start process in wireless environments. For example, in an aspect, the present disclosure presents a method of wireless communication, which may include receiving, at a radio network controller (RNC), a transmission control protocol (TCP) packet for a user equipment (UE) from a server. Furthermore, example methods may include reforming the TCP packet into a set of radio link control (RLC) packets. Additionally, in some examples, such methods may additionally include transmitting the set of RLC packets to a base station. Moreover, such methods may include sending an accelerated TCP acknowledgement message to the server based on the transmitting of the set of RLC packets to the base station. | 09-26-2013 |
20150063374 | FORMATTING DATA PACKETS FOR COMPRESSION - Methods and apparatus are described for formatting a compressed data packet. The methods and apparatus include identifying a first data string within a data packet that was previously stored at a first memory location in a compressor memory, and generating a first pointer that references the first memory location in the compressor memory. Further, these aspects optionally include identifying a second data string within the data packet that was not previously stored in the compressor memory. Additionally, these aspects include creating a compressed data packet by replacing the first data string with the first pointer and copying the second data string, and including an indicator corresponding to a number of pointers in the data packet. | 03-05-2015 |
20150085749 | MECHANISM TO EXCHANGE PROPRIETARY SIGNALING MESSAGES BETWEEN A UE AND A NETWORK - Methods and apparatus are described for configuring features for a user equipment (UE) communicating with a network entity. For example, the methods and apparatus include receiving, at the network entity, a capability message indicating one or more features supported by the UE; transmitting control data in a data type Protocol Data Unit (PDU), wherein the control data is configured to enable one of the one or more features based on the capability message; and enabling one of the one or more features in response to receiving an acknowledgement message from the UE. | 03-26-2015 |
20150085835 | OUT-OF-SYNCHRONIZATION DETECTION AND CORRECTION DURING COMPRESSION - Methods and apparatus are described for synchronizing compression for communication between a user equipment (UE) and a serving node. The methods and apparatus include determining that a compressor memory of a compressor and a decompressor memory of a decompressor are out-of-synchronization based on a checksum failure. Further, the methods and apparatus include resetting the compressor memory and the decompressor memory to a predetermined state in response to determining that the compressor memory and the decompressor memory are out-of-synchronization, wherein the compressor memory and the decompressor memory are synchronized at the predetermined state. | 03-26-2015 |
20150085876 | HANDLING INCOMPRESSIBLE DATA PACKETS ON MULTIPLE DATA FLOWS - Methods and apparatus of compression on multiple data flows for communication between a user equipment (UE) and a serving node.
