20110021147 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING CONNECTIVITY STATUS OF SHORT RANGE WIRELESS DEVICES - A method and apparatus for generating alerts once connectivity to a designated short range wireless (SRW) device is lost. Once connectivity is lost, an alert is sent to a master device (such as a mobile phone) notifying the master device user that connectivity to the designated SRW device has been lost. The master device user designates one or more paired SRW devices from a list of all paired SRW devices registered on the master device. For each SRW device of interest, a default or preferred alert method is chosen.

A background process runs on the master or host device so as to read and parse the user's preferences and, accordingly, generates and sends alerts. For devices that support global system events and that expose SRW connectivity events, the background process intercepts those events associated with SRW devices of interest and generates alerts accordingly. For devices that do not support global system events or do not expose SRW connectivity events, the background process polls the connectivity with each SRW device of interest based on a pre-determined interval. If polling fails, indicating a lost connection, the appropriate alerts are triggered. | 2011-01-27 |

20110021236 | QUALITY OF SERVICE BASED DOWNLINK POWER ALLOCATION - A first wireless device associated with a first profile is communicated with using a first transmitted power. A second wireless device associated with a second profile is communicated with using a second transmitted power. A third transmitted power is determined. The third transmitted power is associated with the first wireless device receiving data using a target modulation and coding scheme. A maximum transmitted power is determined to be exceeded if the third transmitted power is used to communicate with the first wireless device. The second wireless device is communicated with using a fourth transmitted power. The fourth transmitted power allows the third transmitted power to be used to communicate with the first wireless device without exceeding the maximum transmitted power. | 2011-01-27 |
20110021237 | Closed-Loop Adaptive Power Control For Adjusting Bandwidth In A Mobile Handset Transmitter - A mobile handset is arranged with an adaptive power controller to controllably adjust transmit power. The adaptive power controller is coupled to a power amplifier module to form a closed feedback loop. The adaptive power control module includes a first shifter, a first sealer, an accumulator and a hold element. The first shifter and first sealer receive respective bandwidth control signals and an error signal. The first shifter and first sealer generate a modified error signal that is forwarded to and filtered by the accumulator and the hold element to generate a power control signal. The power control signal, which is generated the radio frequency subsystem of the handset can quickly and accurately track rapid changes in transmit power. | 2011-01-27 |

20110021239 | COMMUNICATION QUALITY JUDGMENT METHOD, MOBILE STATION, BASE STATION, AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - In order to carry out high-speed packet communications using a large-volume transmission channel like an E-DCH, uplink communication quality must be good. However, in a state in which a link imbalance occurs, a mobile station cannot estimate the uplink communication quality from downlink communication quality. Therefore, the mobile station calculates a path loss from the setting power of a common pilot channel which is notified from a base station, and the received power of the common pilot channel received thereby, and also estimates the received power in the base station on the basis of this path loss. The mobile station further judges the uplink communication quality by estimating the SIR in the base station by using the interference power notified from the base station and the estimated received power. | 2011-01-27 |
