20100098025 | Method and appartus for handover between IEEE 802.16E and 802.16M systems - Methods for a mobile station to handover between IEEE 802.16e and 802.16m systems are provided. The mobile station is served by an IEEE 802.16e-only base station or an IEEE 802.16e zone of a 16e/16m-conexistence base station. In a zone-switch based handover procedure, the mobile station first performs an IEEE 802.16e legacy handover procedure such that the mobile station handovers from the serving base station to an IEEE 802.16e zone of a target base station. 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 |
20100110983 | Downlink network synchronization mechanism for femtocell in cellular OFDM systems - A method of downlink synchronization for a femto base station in a cellular orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is provided. The femto base station first scans one or more received reference signals transmitted from a plurality of neighboring macro base stations. The femto base station then determines a desired reference signal from the received one or more reference signals based on the scanning result.

20100111029 | Fast feedback contention-based data transmission in wireless communications systems - A fast feedback mechanism is provided in a contention-based data transmission procedure. A Subscriber Station (SS) transmits a data burst to a base station (BS) using a selected data grant in a previous uplink (UL) frame. The SS also starts a timer associated with the data transmission. The data grant is selected from a plurality of data grants granted by the BS for contention-based access. In response to all received data grants in the previous UL frame, the BS broadcasts an acknowledgement (ACK) in a subsequent downlink (DL) frame. The ACK comprises a reception status message that indicates the detection result of the data grants. With the novel fast feedback mechanism, when data collision occurs, upon receiving the detection result indicator, the SS proceeds by retransmitting data without continuing wait for the entire timeout period. As a result, the total latency due to the data collision is reduced. | 05-06-2010 |
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 |
