20090274041	Fast feedback contention-based ranging procedure in wireless communications systems - A fast feedback mechanism is provided in a contention-based ranging procedure. A Subscriber Station (SS) initializes a ranging procedure by sending a ranging code on a selected ranging opportunity for resource access to a Base Station (BS) on a shared ranging channel in a previous uplink frame. The SS also starts a time associated with the ranging code. In response to all received ranging opportunities, the BS broadcasts an acknowledgement (ACK) in a subsequent downlink frame. The ACK comprises a reception status message that indicates the decoding status of the ranging opportunities. With the novel fast feedback mechanism, when ranging collision or failure occurs, upon receiving the reception status report, the SS will proceed with the next round of contention without continuing wait for the entire timeout period. As a result, the total latency due to the ranging collision or failure is reduced.	11-05-2009

The mobile station then performs a zone-switch procedure such that the mobile station switches from the IEEE 802.16e zone to an IEEE 802.16m zone of the target base station. In a direct handover procedure, the mobile station performs an IEEE 802.16m handover procedure such that the mobile station handovers from the serving base station to the IEEE 802.16m zone of the target base station directly.	04-22-2010
20100111029	Fast feedback contention-based data transmission in wireless communications systems - A fast feedback mechanism is provided in a contention-based data transmission procedure.

20100159991	Reliable femtocell system for wireless communication networks - A Femto Base Station (FBS) includes a communication functionality and a reliability functionality. A control entity within the reliability functionality detects an FBS reliability compromising event (for example, an unscheduled loss of external power to the FBS). As a result of detecting the FBS reliability compromising event, the control entity sends a message (an “FBS Reliability Compromising Event Compensation Message” or “FBSRCECM”) to the communication functionality. The FBSRCECM initiates an action that compensates for the FBS reliability compromising event. In many examples, the action is the initiating of a handover from the FBS to another base station. The reliability functionality typically includes a rechargeable battery that powers the FBS for a time until the handover is completed gracefully. By performing a graceful handover, cellular network reliability is improved as compared to situations in which a conventional FBS simply stops working and connections handled by the conventional FBS are broken.	06-24-2010

With carrier pre-assignment, a mobile station communicates its multi-carrier information to a target base station. The target base station pre-assigns secondary carriers to fulfill the requirements of the mobile station. In a first embodiment, a break-before-entry (BBE) multi-carrier handover procedure with carrier pre-assignment is provided. In a second embodiment, an entry-before-break (EBB) multi-carrier handover procedures for both inter-FA and intra-FA with carrier pre-assignment are provided. The multi-carrier handover procedures with carrier pre-assignment may be applied to 2-to-2 or N-to-N carriers handover situation. Because target secondary carriers are pre-assigned before handoff, the mobile station is ready for data transmission over multiple carriers after handover without additional carrier assignment procedure.	10-28-2010
20110158118	Measurement and carrier group based optimization in wireless OFDM multi-carrier communication systems - In a wireless OFDM multi-carrier communication system, a mobile station obtains measurement result of a first received signal strength indication (RSSI) of a first preamble signal transmitted from a base station over a first radio frequency (RF) carrier. The mobile station also obtains signal offset information between the first RF carrier and a second RF carrier of the base station. In response to the measurement result and the signal offset information, the mobile station estimates a second RSSI of a second preamble signal transmitted by the base station over the second RF carrier without performing scanning over the second RF carrier. In one novel aspect, the mobile station identifies a carrier group containing multiple carriers that belong to the same base station. Measurement optimization, initial cell selection and cell reselection optimization, report reduction, and other carrier group based optimization can be achieved in the multi-carrier system based on identified carrier group.	06-30-2011

The UE also measures a second RSRP level in a secondary serving cell (Scell) over a secondary component carrier (SCC). The UE compares the first RSRP level with a first s-Measure value and compares the second RSRP level with a second s-Measure value.

20080287587	Method for forming polymer-clay nanocomposite latex and its application on sealing and semi-conductive materials - The present invention discloses a method to prepare the polymer-clay nanocomposite latex.

Then, at least one monomer from vinyl ester, acrylic and acrylamide derivatives is added into the intermediate solution for soap-free emulsion polymerization, which may also be added with some other monomers such as acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile ethylene, et al. for copolymerization. During soap-free emulsion polymerization, the radicals from the dissociated initiators will react with the monomers to form the monomer radicals, which tend to diffuse into the interlayer region of clays for further polymerization and eventually exfoliate the clays. The prepared exfoliated polymer-clay nanocomposite latex can be cast into a vapor-impermeable film so that it can be used as a sealing material or coating. The exfoliated clay in nanoplatelet form is a two-dimensional electrolyte nanomaterial and its aqueous solution is conductive. The exfoliated clay aqueous solutions can be prepared by removing the polymer matrix from the nanocomposite latex with solvent. As the exfoliated clay solution is cast into a film with the clay content is more than or equal to 80 wt %, the film is semi-conductive. Thus, the exfoliated clay aqueous solutions can be applied to the electronic materials and organic/inorganic multilayer composite films.	11-20-2008
