| 20100330993 | Method of Initiating Handover Pre-preparation and Related Communication Device - A method of initiating handover pre-preparation for a mobile device in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of receiving a pre-prepared handover command from a source base station, wherein the pre-prepared handover command includes context of a target base station, whereby the mobile device does not perform a handover procedure based on the pre-prepared handover command and keeping the context for a period of time. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110028150 | Method of Updating Management Information and Related Communication Device - A method of updating management information for a mobile device in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises performing a procedure involved in a cell change from a first cell to a second cell; sending a first request to a network for first assistance data associated with the second cell when the procedure is finished; and receiving the first assistance data from the network. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110143738 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING AUTONOMOUS SEARCH IN VARIOUS MODES IN A LONG-TERM EVOLUTION ENVIRONMENT - A method for wireless communication in a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) or LTE-equivalent environment which allows a mobile device to manage autonomous search functions (ASF) is disclosed. In an LTE-equivalent environment, a mobile device may function in several modes, including idle and connected. In either mode, the mobile device may need to use an autonomous search function (ASF) to find or exchange information with base stations. The mobile device first determines the mode the current operation pertains to. When modifying the availability of an ASF, the mobile device distinguishes between the modes that will execute the ASF. When calling an ASF, the mobile device determines the availability of that function based on the device's current mode. In idle mode, the mobile device uses the idle mode ASF. Conversely, in connected mode the mobile device uses the connected mode ASF. The two functions are distinctly managed and operated by the mobile device. | 06-16-2011 |

| 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 |
| 20100110950 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALIGNING POWER SAVINGS CLASSES - A method for power savings in a wireless communications network, including selecting all Type-1 power savings classes (PSCs), selecting all Type-2 PSCs, and selecting all Type-3 PSCs. The method further includes aligning the Type-1 PSCs of the device, if more than one Type-1 PSC is selected, and aligning the Type-2 PSCs of the device, if more than one Type-2 PSC is selected. The method also includes aligning the two or more aligned Type-1 PSCs or, if only one Type-1 PSC is selected, the Type-1 PSC, and the two or more aligned Type-2 PSCs or, if only one Type-2 PSC is selected, the Type-2 PSC, if there is at least one Type-1 PSC and at least one Type-2 PSC. The method may further include aligning the Type-3 PSCs with the aligned Type-1 and Type-2 PSCs, if there is at least one Type-3 PSC and at least one Type-1 or Type-2 PSC. | 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 |
