A processing module has the electronic device to perform a predetermined function if the present working environment is judged as the previously encountered environment. | 2015-09-10 |
20150257088 | Smart Congestion Control for RRC Idle Mode in LTE Systems - A UE initiates an MMTEL service in RRC Idle mode in a mobile communication network. The UE acquires access control information from a base station. The access control information comprises SSAC configuration information, ACB parameters information, and ACB bypass information. The ACB bypass information indicates whether ACB is applicable to MMTEL service type. The UE then performs SSAC check for the MMTEL service based on the access control information. The UE also performs ACB check for the MMTEL service if ACB is applicable to the MMTEL service. Otherwise, the UE bypasses the ACB check for the MMTEL service. The selective ACB mechanism can prioritize or deprioritize services based on operator's requirement. | 2015-09-10 |
20150257089 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING MBSFN SUBFRAME CONFIGURATION INFORMATION OF NEIGHBORING CELLS - A method and an apparatus for transmitting multimedia broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframe configuration information of neighboring cells in a wireless system is provided. The method comprises: transmitting, by a base station of a serving cell, MBSFN subframe configuration information of the serving cell to a UE which accepts services from the serving cell via a broadcast control channel (BCCH); transmitting information on a subset relationship of MBSFN subframe configurations of the neighboring cells relative to the MBSFN subframe configuration of the serving cell to the UE which accepts services from the serving cell via the broadcast control channel (BCCH); performing, by the UE, measurements on the neighboring cells according to the subframe configuration information of the serving cell and the information on the subset relationship of the MBSFN subframe configurations of the neighboring cells relative to the MBSFN subframe configuration of the serving cell. | 2015-09-10 |
20150257090 | METHODS FOR ONE RADIO MODULE TO LISTEN TO PAGING SIGNALS WITHOUT BREAKING THE DATA TRANSMISSION OF THE OTHER RADIO MODULE OPERATING IN THE CONNECTED MODE AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUSES UTILIZING THE SAME - A communications apparatus. A first radio module communicates with a first wireless network and provides wireless communications services. A second radio module communicates with a second wireless network and provides wireless communications services. At least two antennas shared by the first radio module and the second radio module. When the first radio module operates in a connected mode and when the timing of the first radio module performing the first receiving activity coincides with the timing of the second radio module performing a second receiving activity, the first radio module reports a value of 1 for a Rank Indicator to the first wireless network at least once before the second radio module is to perform the second receiving activity, and then the second radio module uses one of the antennas to perform the second receiving activity. | 2015-09-10 |
20150257091 | Apparatuses, methods and systems for a Wi-Fi Bluetooth multimedia bridge - A multimedia communication bridge that includes a long range communication transceiver, a processor, a short range communication transceiver, and a multimedia unit that comprises a speaker and a microphone.

The controller is configured to generate a message response request to receive instructions for responding to the message. The long range communication transceiver is configured to transmit the message response request to the remote server and to receive the instructions. The controller is configured to execute the instructions and to respond to the message. | 2015-09-10 |
20150257092 | METHOD AND BASE STATION FOR A CELL SELECTION - A method and a base station for a cell selection are provided. The method comprises obtaining an uplink traffic status of a user equipment. The method also comprises determining, based upon the plink traffic status, a bias value for a measured quality indicator of a down link received signal with respect to the user equipment. In addition, the method comprises performing the cell selection based upon the bias value and the measured quality indicator. With the present invention, a proper cell could be selected and thus both peak DL and UL throughput can be improved in the heterogeneous network. | 2015-09-10 |
20150257093 | MOBILE STATION AND RADIO BASE STATION - A DRX state of a mobile station UE is flexibly changed. In a mobile station UE according to the invention, in a case where a reception state of the mobile station UE is managed as a continuous reception state, and even in a case where the reception state of the mobile station UE is configured to be capable of transitioning to a Short-DRX state, a control unit | 2015-09-10 |
20150257094 | LOW POWER COMMUNICATION IN CONNECTED MODE - It is provided a method, comprising: signaling, to a terminal device, to turn into a low power connected mode; inhibiting signaling, to the terminal device, to turn into an idle mode; saving a parameter used to connect to the terminal device in a normal connected mode different from the low power connected mode before signaling to turn into the low power connected mode. | 2015-09-10 |
20150257095 | TRANSITION METHOD INTO SLEEPING MODE - It is provided a method, comprising camping on a first cell in a terminal mode, wherein, in the terminal mode, a mode-enabling downlink signal from the first cell is required; checking if a transition information about an intended transition of the first cell to a sleeping mode is received and if an apparatus performing the method camps in the terminal mode on the first cell, wherein in the sleeping mode of the first cell the mode-enabling downlink signal is not received from the first cell; transmitting a complaint to the first cell if the transition information is received and the apparatus camps in the terminal mode on the first cell. | 2015-09-10 |
20150257096 | FAIRNESS-BASED MESSAGE TRANSMISSION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - Methods, devices, and systems are described to enable fair message transmission and to reduce maximum power consumption of stations in a wireless network. For example, a first station of the wireless network may transmit a message including a first neighbor list to a second station of the wireless network. The first neighbor list may identify one or more stations within a particular range of the first station. The second station may selectively transmit, based on a comparison between the first neighbor list and a second neighbor list and a random countdown, a copy of the message including the second neighbor list to another station of the wireless network. The second neighbor list may identify one or more stations within a particular range of the second station. | 2015-09-10 |
