20160080982 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR DETERMINING KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS USING INFERENTIAL STATISTICS - Network monitoring devices and network monitoring techniques are disclosed and use inferential statistical approaches to determine one or more Key Performance Indicators, particularly for Circuit Switched FallBack (CSFB) scenarios. For example, the network monitoring node monitors a plurality of ciphered or clear text messages for a network interface in a communication network, determines a Mobile Terminating (MT) count for MT calls and a Mobile Originating (MO) count for User Equipment (UE) from at least one message of the plurality of messages and defines an inferred MT ratio based on the MT count and the MO count for a total number of messages. The network monitoring device further applies the inferred MT ratio to a CSFB idle mode count for UE and/or a CSFB active mode count for UE to yield an estimated total number of CSFB idle mode successes and an estimated total number of CSFB active mode successes, respectively. | 2016-03-17 |
20160080983 | HANDOVER METHOD, RADIO BASE STATION, AND MOBILE STATION - This invention implements “RRC diversity” in a handover procedure between cells under different radio base stations (eNB), while considering conditions in a MAC layer. A handover method of the invention includes: a step A of notifying, by a radio base station (eNB # | 2016-03-17 |
20160080984 | PRE-EMPTIVE OVERHEAD MESSAGE READING - Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a UE. A user equipment (UE) may establish a connection to a serving cell and monitor channel conditions for the serving cell and neighboring cells. Based on the channel conditions, the UE may determine to read the system information of a non-serving neighbor. The UE may then read the system information of the non-serving neighbor cell while still connected to the serving cell. In some cases, the UE may store the system information in a database. When the time comes for the UE to access the neighbor cell (e.g., if the link to the serving cell fails) the UE may proceed with access procedures without delay using the stored system information. | 2016-03-17 |
20160080985 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION METHOD AND RADIO BASE STATION - In a handover procedure between cells under different radio base stations (eNB), “RRC diversity” is implemented at the initiative of a network. A mobile communication method of the invention includes the steps of: causing a mobile station (UE) to transmit a “measurement report” to a radio base station (eNB # | 2016-03-17 |
20160080986 | METHOD AND APPARATUS OF SIGNALING AND PROCEDURE FOR SEQUENCE HOPPING PATTERN CHANGE DURING HANDOVER - A method and apparatus are provided for updating a sequence hopping (SH) pattern of an uplink channel during handover from a current cell having a current SH pattern. At least one downlink channel of each neighbor cell of the current cell is monitored. Information indicative of the monitored downlink channels of the neighbor cells is transmitted to the current cell. Prior to receiving a handover command from the current cell a target cell from among the neighbor cells is anticipated and a common downlink channel of the anticipated target cell is monitored to determine information representative of a target SH pattern of the target cell. | 2016-03-17 |
