Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100251056Method and System for Improving Performance of Broadcast/Multicast Transmissions - Methods and systems for performing hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) in conjunction with broadcast/multicast channels are presented. In particular, an access node may transmit a series of hybrid ARQ subpackets to one or more client nodes using a broadcast/multicast channel. Each of the subpackets may be derived from the same full packet. Upon receiving a subpacket, a client node may attempt to decode the full packet from the subpacket(s) derived from the full packet. If the client node fails to do so, the client node may transmit a negative acknowledgement to the access node. If the access node receives more than a threshold extent of negative acknowledgements, the access node may transmit a subsequent subpacket in the series on the broadcast/multicast channel.09-30-2010
20100313095Systems and Methods of Information Transmission - Systems and methods of information transmission are provided. An endpoint receiving packets with non-voice information transmits negative and positive acknowledgements over a dedicated channel in an uplink subframe. When the endpoint receives packets with voice information, the endpoint transmits negative acknowledgements over a shared channel, but does not transmit positive acknowledgements.12-09-2010

20110051695Methods and Devices for Scheduling Transmissions in a Wireless Network Based on Traffic Priority and Channel Conditions - Methods and systems for assigning time-division multiplexed (TDM) slots in a multi-channel TDM system are presented. Preferably, a radio access network (RAN) assigns forward link and reverse link transmissions between the RAN and one or more wireless communication devices (WCDs) to TDM slots on various wireless channels. When making these assignments, the RAN may take into account (i) the priority of data that the RAN queues for the WCDs, and (ii) the signal quality at which the WCDs can receive the various wireless channels.03-03-2011
20110312347SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PAGING CYCLE MANAGEMENT IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - A system to control paging cycles in a wireless network assigns mobile stations to one of a plurality of paging groups based on the paging cycle requirements of the individual mobile stations. In addition, the mobile stations in a particular paging group are further subdivided into subgroups that may be substantially equal in size. At any particular paging cycle, only one subgroup of a particular paging group is included in the paging process thus reducing the overall number of mobile stations that need to be paged in any particular paging cycle.12-22-2011
20110317553APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DYNAMIC DOWNLINK PERMUTATION ASSIGNMENT FOR USE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method of assigning parameter values to transceivers in a wireless communication network. Each of the parameter values assigned determines at least in part how a plurality of subcarriers are organized into a plurality of sub-channels. In particular embodiments, the method assigns the parameter values to the transceivers based on correlations between the sub-channels determined by the parameter values, distances between the transceivers, and loads experienced by the transceivers. After the parameter values are assigned to the transceivers, each of the transceivers is configured to transmit on the sub-channels determined at least in part by the parameter value assigned to the transceiver.12-29-2011

20110189997SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTIMODE DEVICE HANDOVER - Systems and methods of operating multimode 3G/4G communications devices in an overlapping 3G/4G coverage area (e.g., WiMAX or LTE/CDMA-EvDO) include determining a loading condition of the 3G and 4G base stations. If the 3G and 4G base stations are lightly loaded, one or more 4G Channel Quality Indicators (CQI) are compared with one or more corresponding 3G Data Rate Control (DRC) indices to determine which of the 3G and 4G networks allows a higher data throughput. The dual mode communications device is handed off to a 4G base station associated with the 4G coverage if the 4G network allows the higher data throughput; otherwise, the dual mode communications device is handed off to a 3G base station. User priorities, application categories, and/or MIMO and diversity modes may be used to determine handoff if the base stations are more than lightly loaded.08-04-2011

20100015474Adaptive Technique and Apparatus to Detect an Unhealthy Condition of a Fuel Cell System - A technique that is usable with a fuel cell system having a fuel cell stack includes storing in a memory a healthy behavior pattern and an unhealthy behavior pattern for the fuel cell stack, comparing observed behavior of the fuel cell stack to the healthy and unhealthy behavior patterns, and classifying the observed behavior as healthy or unhealthy based on the comparison. The technique further includes modifying the stored healthy behavior pattern and the stored unhealthy behavior pattern based upon the occurrence of a predetermined event, such as the detection of an unhealthy condition, the issuance of an alarm, or the passage of a time interval. Modifying the behavior patterns enhances the accuracy of the health classification since the modification takes into account actual system behavior and any performance degradation that may occur over time.01-21-2010

20100266912Implementation of an Engine Controller Unit's Non-Volatile Memory for Measuring the Time of a Fuel Cell System in a Shut-Off or Standby State - A method for providing an accurate time that a fuel cell system has been shut-down so that the gas constituents in the anode and cathode side of the fuel cell stack can be known for an efficient next system start-up sequence. The method uses two timers, a stand-by timer that provides a time count for how long the fuel cell system has been off, but the vehicle ignition is still on, and a shut-off timer that provides a time count of how long the vehicle ignition has been off. The two time counts are added to give a complete time count of how long the fuel cell stack has been shut-down.10-21-2010
