20130034092 | Joint Channel Detection of Out of Synchronization Condition - To test whether a first radio channel is synchronized, a first quality value (e.g., power control bits) is determined for a first radio channel (e.g., DPCCH or F-DPCH), and a second quality value is determined for a second radio channel (e.g., PCICH) which carries precoding information (e.g., beamforming weights); then the first and second quality values are combined. In specific embodiments the combining includes comparing the first and second quality values against respective first and second thresholds to obtain respective first and second binary results that are logically combined; or by multiplying the first and second quality values by respective first and second weighting values to achieve weighted values which are added. | 2013-02-07 |
20130034093 | Policy Rule Management For QoS Provisioning - Described herein is a policy-based Internet Protocol (IP) network wherein the Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning across various network devices is managed by policy processing via a user interface including a graphic user interface. The user interface incorporates information made available by a server, such as lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) server, having a repository, and thereby allows for a consistent set up voice-over IP devices, video devices and network data devices with minimal entries by the user. Further, the user interfaces allows for efficient policy creation and editing. | 2013-02-07 |
