20100040008 | NEAR COMPANION MODE - Two User Equipment (UE) operate in a Near Companion Mode (NCM), in which a monitoring UE (MUE) monitors an uplink transmission opportunity granted to its companion UE (CUE) on a shared uplink channel. If the CUE does not begin transmitting within a predetermined portion of its transmission opportunity, the MUE may utilize the transmission opportunity to transmit an uplink data packet. In one embodiment, where the CUE does not have data to transmit, it may transmit a predetermined pattern at the beginning of its transmission opportunity, to indicate to the MUE that the transmission opportunity is available. The MUE may transmit an NCM radio block using the entire symbol space associated with the last three of four bursts allocated to the CUE, or using a newly defined NCM format comprising four abbreviated bursts, using only a portion of the symbol space associated with the four bursts corresponding to the transmission opportunity allocated to the CUE. | 02-18-2010 |

20110274058 | APPLICATION LAYER COMMUNICATION VIA SINGLE RADIO BLOCK ACCESS - Embodiments herein advantageously reduce the amount of control signalling and header information that must accompany an application layer message when transporting that message from a wireless device to a supporting application server via an intermediate node. To do so, the wireless device prepares a single radio block that includes the application layer message and an indication that the single radio block contains the entire application layer message. The device then sends a control message to the intermediate node that requests allocation of radio resources for sending the single radio block without establishing a temporary block flow (TBF). The device finally sends the single radio block using the allocated resources, without a TBF. Upon receiving the block, the intermediate node determines, based on the indication within the block, whether or not the block contains an entire application layer message. If so, the intermediate node forwards that application layer message towards the application server. | 11-10-2011 |

20110317636 | CHANNEL REQUESTS FOR MACHINE-TYPE DEVICES - To access a network, an MTC device sends a channel request message to the network over a random access channel. The channel request message includes a device type indication and a resource type indication. The device type indication may for example, indicate to the network that the requesting device is an MTC device or non-MTC device. Upon receipt of the channel request, the receiving network node can determine on the basis of the device type indication and resource type indication whether to grant or deny the access attempt, and to determine what resources to grant. The channel request message may further include a call duration indication in the channel request message if CS resources are requested for a voice call or a priority indication if CS resources are requested for a data transmission. | 12-29-2011 |

20120093008 | IMPLICIT REJECT RESPONSE - A wireless communication network having received-priority access requests on an access channel issues an implicit reject response on a grant channel, such as a flag or other value embedded in an explicit access grant or explicit access reject response. The implicit reject response applies to some or all outstanding low-priority access requests. At the expiration of a terminal's grant channel monitoring window, if it has detected an applicable implicit reject response but not an explicit response, the terminal will refrain from transmitting another access request for a predetermined or configurable duration. The implicit reject response may comprise a flag, or a value that implicitly rejects only a fraction of the outstanding low-priority access requests. The implicit reject response may comprise a duration that the terminal must wait prior to transmitting another access request, and may direct the terminal to directly monitor the grant channel without transmitting a subsequent access request. | 04-19-2012 |

In some embodiments, a final segment of the second higher layer packet is encapsulated in a final higher priority data block with a remaining data segment of the first higher layer packet. The final higher priority data block further includes a transition indicator to indicate a transition from the second higher layer packet back to the first higher layer packet. | 06-28-2012 |
20120182934 | APPLICATION LAYER COMMUNICATION VIA AN INTERMEDIATE NODE - An intermediate node in a wireless communication system transmits application layer messages between first and second nodes. To do so, the intermediate node receives a request to activate a packet data protocol (PDP) context for the first node. The request, as generated by the first node, indicates the first node is capable of using a first protocol stack that excludes one or more particular layers included in a second protocol stack used by the second node. The intermediate node activates a PDP context for the first node in accordance with the request. The intermediate node thereafter forwards application layer messages supported by the activated PDP context between the first node and the second node, forwarding application layer messages destined for the first node in accordance with the first protocol stack and forwarding application layer messages destined for the second node in accordance with the second protocol stack. | 07-19-2012 |
