| 20100135251 | FAST UPLINK DATA TRANSMISSION USING E-DCH ENHANCED RANDOM ACCESS WITHOUT A UE SPECIFIC E-RNTI - Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating user plane data over common control resources by specifying a UTRAN radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI). In this regard, a Node B or an RNC receiving the user plane data can associate the data to the UE based on the U-RNTI. The user plane data can be transmitted in a control message with the associated U-RNTI, such as a CELL UPDATE message or another message having a U-RNTI specified in a media access control (MAC)-i header or other header in the message. The control message can also include parameters regarding the existence and specifications of the user plane data. In this regard, a UE can communicate user plane data when in a (UTRAN) registration area paging channel (URA_PCH) or other relatively inactive state though it has not received an enhanced radio network temporary identifier (E_RNTI). | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100254334 | SETTING UP A COMMUNICATION SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - Aspects disclosed embodiments include methods, apparatuses and systems for setting up a communication session within a wireless communications system. In an embodiment, a determination is made as to whether one or more applications or services are supported by an access terminal for the communication session. Session resources are then allocated to the access terminal in support of the communication session to the access terminal based at least in part upon the determination. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100260089 | HANDING OFF AN ACCESS TERMINAL DURING A MULTICAST SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - Methods and apparatuses for multicasting within a wireless communications system are disclosed. In one embodiment a method of multicasting within a wireless communications system operating in accordance with a given wireless communication protocol includes monitoring multicast messages associated with a given multicast session in a first sector. A handoff occurs from the first sector to a second sector. It is determined whether the second sector is transmitting multicast messages associated with the given multicast session. Then, based on the determination, a registration request for the given multicast session within the second sector is transmitted on a reverse link access channel in an earlier slot than a next designated slot for registration requests as defined by the wireless communication protocol. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100260108 | SETTING UP A REVERSE LINK DATA TRANSMISSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - Aspects including methods and apparatuses for setting up a reverse link data transmission within a wireless communications system are disclosed. An access terminal sends, to an access network, an initial data packet in a sequence of data packets including a data portion and a header portion including an identifier of a first type, the identifier of the first type configured to uniquely identify the given access terminal in more than one of a subset of sectors of the wireless communications system. The access network sends a message to the access terminal to (i) assign a dedicated channel to the given access terminal, or to (ii) assign an identifier of a second type to uniquely identify the given access terminal in a single sector of the wireless communications system. The access network thereafter receives additional packets from the access terminal in accordance with the assignment. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110122783 | TRANSITIONING A USER EQUIPMENT (UE) TO A DEDICATED CHANNEL STATE DURING SETUP OF A COMMUNICATION SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - In an embodiment, an access network (AN) receives data for transmission to a user equipment (UE) that is not in a dedicated-channel state. The AN determines that the received data is associated with a communication session of a given type. Based on this determination, the AN transitions the UE to a dedicated-channel state. In an example, the AN can determine the association between the received data and the communication session of the given type based on an indication of the association that is contained with a data session activation request message. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110134757 | SETTING UP A COMMUNICATION SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - An access network (AN) periodically broadcasts, to at least one user equipment (UE) served by the AN, a message requesting the at least one UE, whenever the at least one UE determines to perform a given type of transmission, (i) to measure a reverse-link channel upon which the transmission is to be performed, and (ii) to include results of the measurement within the transmission. A given UE receives the periodically broadcasted message from the AN and determines to perform the given type of transmission. The given UE refrains from measuring the reverse-link channel, as instructed by the AN, based on the data being associated with a communication session of a given type. The given UE transmits the data to the AN. If the data transmission omits the requested measurement results, the AN selects a transmission format for subsequent transmissions of the given UE based on the omission. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110134770 | OUTER LOOP POWER CONTROL IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - In an embodiment, an access network receives a message associated with a given user equipment (UE). The received message can be an uplink message received from the given UE itself (e.g., a measurement report, a cell update message), or can be a downlink message for transmission to the given UE (e.g., a call announcement message). The access network determines that the received message is associated with a communication session of a given type (e.g., a delay-sensitive communication session). The access network selects an uplink initial signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) target for the given UE based on the determination. The access network also starts a timer having a given expiration period based on the determination. The access network refrains from updating the uplink initial SIR target for the given UE at least until the timer expires. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110134836 | ANNOUNCING A COMMUNICATION SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - An access network (AN) receives a call announcement message for transmission to an access terminal (AT). The AN initiates, in response to the received call announcement message, a physical-layer synchronization procedure for at least one channel between the AN and the AT, the physical-layer synchronization procedure associated with a transition of the access terminal to a dedicated channel state. The AN performs the initiation by sending a message to the AT. In response to the message, the AT monitors a downlink channel for receipt of the call announcement message. The AN then transmits the call announcement message on the downlink channel to the access terminal, and the AT receives the call announcement message due to the monitoring. The call announcement message is transmitted either (i) before the physical layer synchronization procedure completes or (ii) before a transmission of a reconfiguration complete message indicating completion of dedicated channel state transition. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110134888 | PAGING OF A USER EQUIPMENT (UE) WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - A user equipment (UE) determine to activate a data session. The UE configures a data session activation request message to include an indication of an association with communication sessions of a given type (e.g., delay-sensitive communication sessions), and then transmits the data session activation request message to an access network. The access network determines to establish an aggressive paging cycle of a downlink channel for the UE based in part upon receiving a message (e.g., which can be different than the data session activation request message) that conveys the indication of the association to the access network. The access network sends at least one instruction for facilitating an allocation of the aggressive paging cycle to the UE, and the UE receives the at least one instructions and monitors the downlink channel accordingly. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110182225 | SETTING UP A MULTICAST GROUP COMMUNICATION SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - In an embodiment, a multicast communication session is setup at an access network within a wireless communications system, whereby the access network transmits an announce message announcing a current multicast communication session to a given group of access terminals within an initial cluster of sectors. The access network receives a registration request for the current multicast communication session from an access terminal, and selectively loads a stored cluster of sectors that supported a previous multicast communication session to the given group. The access network then turns on a multicast flow for the current multicast communication session within each sector of the stored cluster. In another embodiment, a multicast communication session is terminated whereby the access network stories a formation of the engaged cluster at or near the termination of the current multicast communication session, which can then be used during setup of a subsequent multicast communication session. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110194433 | MANAGING DEDICATED CHANNEL RESOURCE ALLOCATION TO USER EQUIPMENT BASED ON RADIO BEARER TRAFFIC WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - In an embodiment, an access network monitors traffic, associated with a radio bearer of a given type (e.g., a radio bearer expected to be associated with delay-sensitive and/or high-priority communication sessions), between a user equipment (UE) in a dedicated-channel state (e.g., CELL_DCH state) and an application server that is arbitrating a communication session between the UE and at least one other UE. Based on the monitored traffic, the access network selectively transitions the UE away from the dedicated-channel state. For example, if traffic on the radio bearer of the given type is detected before expiration of a timer, the UE can be permitted to remaining in the dedicated-channel state. Alternatively, if no traffic on the radio bearer of the given type is detected before expiration of the timer, the UE can be transitioned away from the dedicated-channel state (e.g., into CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state). | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110194436 | ASSISTED STATE TRANSITIONS OF A USER EQUIPMENT WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) determines to initiate a communication session with at least one other UE to be arbitrated by an application server. The UE determines a type of the communication session (e.g., delay-sensitive, PTT, etc.) and/or a size of a call message to be sent by the UE for requesting initiation of the communication session by the application server. The UE selects a reverse-link channel on which to transmit the call message based at least in part upon the determined type of the communication session and/or the determined size of the call message. The UE transitions to a given state (e.g., CELL_FACH, CELL_DCH, etc.) that supports transmissions upon the selected reverse-link channel. The UE transmits the call message on the selected reverse-link channel after the UE is transitioned to the given state. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110194437 | ASSISTED STATE TRANSITION OF A USER EQUIPMENT (UE) FOR DELAY SENSITIVE APPLICATIONS WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNNICATIONS SYSTEM - In an embodiment, an application server receives a call message, from an originating user equipment (UE), that is configured to request initiation of a communication session, to be arbitrated by the application server, between the originating UE and at least one target UE. The application server selectively sends, in response to the call message, dummy data to a serving access network of a given UE associated with the communication session in order to facilitate a transition of the given UE to a dedicated-channel state. For example, the application server can selectively send the dummy data based on a size of the call message and/or based on a type of the communication session. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20120026903 | SELECTIVE ALLOCATION OF DEDICATED CHANNEL (DCH) RESOURCES WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - In an embodiment, a UE determines to transmit a message (e.g., an alert message, a call initiation message). Based on the type of the message to be transmitted, the UE selectively transmits supplemental data configured to prompt an access network to transition the UE to a dedicated channel state (DCS). In another embodiment, an application server configured to arbitrate communication sessions between UEs receives a message for transmission to a target UE. Based on the type of the message to be transmitted to the target UE, the application server selectively transmits, to a serving access network of the target UE, supplemental data configured to prompt the serving access network to transition the target UE to the DCS. In another embodiment, the access network selectively transitions a target UE to the DCS based on whether differently sized messages are received at the access network for transmission to the target UE. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20130017779 | SHORT PACKET DATA SERVICE - A novel message exchange protocol is disclosed. In one example, a method of transmitting data includes generating, with a wireless device, an application data message for an application; evaluating one or more criteria for determining whether to send the application data message via a data radio bearer (DRB) channel or via a signaling radio bearer (SRB) channel that communicatively couples the wireless device to a network resource; and based on determining to send the application data message via the SRB channel, sending the application data message to the network resource via the SRB channel. | 01-17-2013 |
| 20130044669 | SUPPORTING A SERVER-ARBITRATED GROUP COMMUNICATION SESSION OVER A LOCAL WIRELESS NETWORK VIA A WIRELESS WIDE AREA NETWORK PROXY CLIENT - In an embodiment, a proxy client is positioned within a local wireless network (e.g., a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)) and maintains a connection to an application server in a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) that is separate from the local wireless network. The application server arbitrates group communication sessions between a plurality of user equipments (UEs). An Internet Protocol (IP) unicast connection is established between the proxy client and the application server. The proxy client associates with at least one of the UEs over the local wireless network, and notifies the application server of the association. The application server sends, to the proxy client, traffic associated with a group communication session to the associated UE(s). The proxy client re-transmits the received traffic via IP multicast over the wireless network. | 02-21-2013 |
