The approach involves causing, at least in part, an active scan process that includes transmitting one or more probe request messages to indicate one or more scheduling windows within which receiving one or more probe response messages is permitted in reply to the one or more probe request messages. | 2013-09-12 |
20130235853 | TRANSMISSION OF UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION FOR COORDINATED MULTI-POINT RECEPTION - Methods and apparatus for a User Equipment (UE) to determine a number of coded modulation symbols per spatial layer for an Uplink Control Information (UCI) type it multiplexes in a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) is provided. The UE communicates with different sets of Reception Points (RPs) in different Transmission Time Intervals (TTIs) wherein two RPs in a same set of RPs have a communication latency that is smaller than or equal to a predetermined value and two RPs in two different respective sets of RPs have a communication latency that is larger than a predetermined value. | 2013-09-12 |
20130235854 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FEEDING BACK DATA RECEIVING STATUS - An apparatus and a method for feeding back data receiving status, applied to a system, are provided. The method includes sequencing, by a User Equipment (UE), downlink subframes for transmitting data with respect to each Component Carrier (CC), generating receiving status feedback information for the first X downlink subframes with respect to each CC according to the result of the sequencing, where X≦M, wherein M is the number of downlink subframes on each CC, and transmitting the receiving status feedback information generated with respect to each CC to a base station. Accordingly, the UE will not misinterpret the receiving status for the downlink subframes due to inconsistencies with the base station between transmitting and receiving feedback. This affects the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) transmission, saves the uplink overheads occupied by the receiving status feedback information, and increases the uplink coverage area. | 2013-09-12 |
20130235855 | OPTIMIZED SYSTEM ACCESS PROCEDURES - A base station subsystem (BSS) and a method are described herein for improving an Access Grant Channel (AGCH) capacity when a downlink Temporary Block Flow (TBF) is established for at least one mobile station and used for sending the respective downlink payload. Plus, a mobile station (MS) and a method are described herein for improving the AGCH capacity when the mobile station is sent information required for establishing a downlink TBF on which it receives its respective downlink payload. | 2013-09-12 |
20130235856 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND ROUTER USED IN THE NETWORK - The present invention provides a communication network comprising a host network, a plurality of base stations, at least a mobile host capable of establishing links to the base stations, and a hierarchy-network of plural routers which are improved in transferring performances for ensuring continuous operations with a reduced load without packet loss. | 2013-09-12 |
