| 20090276673 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPTIMIZING HARQ COMMUNICATION - A method and apparatus for optimizing communication in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a plurality of data packets including a first data packet, storing at least one of the plurality of data packets in a first buffer when the first data packet includes an error, determining a remaining storage capacity of the first buffer based on an initial storage capacity of the first buffer and a storage capacity used to store the at least one of the plurality of data packets, and retransmitting the first data packet with additional data, wherein an amount of the additional data is included in the retransmission based on the remaining storage capacity. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100004001 | PAGING MECHANISM IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A communication system is disclosed which includes a communication network having a paging controller and a plurality of base stations to communicate with at least one mobile client device within the system. Also included in the communication system is a base station, between the plurality of base stations, receiving location updates from the at least one mobile client device; and a processor within the paging controller to accumulate the number of location updates relayed by the base station for each mobile client device, wherein the processor determines whether the accumulated number of location updates received exceeds a predetermined threshold number of location updates. The plurality of base stations each broadcast paging messages to the at least one mobile client device when the predetermined threshold number of location updates is not exceeded. The base station, among the plurality of base stations, solely broadcasts paging messages to the at least one mobile client device when the predetermined threshold number of location updates is exceeded. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100008278 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A DEVICE POWER SAVINGS CLASS - A method is provided for a device in a wireless communication network including a base station. The method includes sending a sleep mode request to the base station; and receiving a sleep mode response including negotiating parameters from the base station. The method also includes entering a sleep mode determined by a single power saving class applicable to all traffic conditions between the device and the base station; and communicating with the base station based on the sleep mode. Further, the single power saving class is used to define a frame structure for configuring frames to form alternating listening windows and sleep windows, to define an initial sleep window, and to define a default listening window. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100115365 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA TRANSMISSION - A method for a transmitter to transmit data represented by a plurality of service data units (SDUs). The method includes: generating, for a first transmission, a data block from one or more of the SDUs, or from one or more fragments of the SDUs; generating, based on a protocol, a protocol data unit (PDU) to include the data block; and transmitting the PDU. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100120438 | COMMUNICATION NETWORK METHOD AND APPARATUS INCLUDING MACRO BASE STATION AND FEMTO BASE STATION - A communications network comprises a macro base station for providing service to a macrocell and a femto base station in a femtocell, wherein the femtocell overlies the macrocell, the femto base station is configured to perform self-configuration using resource profiles, and resource profiles include pre-configured profiles and frequency reuse information. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100226268 | SLOT BASED PERSISTENT ALLOCATION SCHEME - There is provided a method for allocating a mobile station to an available resource slot of a plurality of resource slots within a stream of data frames, the stream of data frames broadcasted to the mobile station by a base station. The method includes scanning resource slots to identify an available resource slot, the available resource slot available for assignment to a resource, wherein the resource slots are included in all of the data frames in the stream of data frames, the scanning further including retrieving a data structure of the available resource slot, the data structure having nodes, the nodes associated with different periodicities and different offsets of the periodicities. The method also includes assigning the mobile station to one of the nodes of the available resource slot with an associated periodicity and an associated offset of the periodicity. | 09-09-2010 |
