20100254351 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A HANDOVER IN AN EVOLVED UNIVERSAL TERRESTRIAL RADIO ACCESS NETWORK - A method and an apparatus for performing a handover in an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) sends a measurement report to a source evolved Node B (eNB), and receives a handover command from the source eNB. The WTRU initiates reception and processing of a primary broadcast channel (P-BCH) at the target cell after receiving the handover command. The WTRU then sends a random access preamble to the target eNB, receives a random access response from the target eNB, and sends a handover complete message to the target eNB. The reception and processing of the P-BCH may be initiated immediately after receiving the handover command or after sending the handover complete message. The WTRU may apply default configuration or source cell configuration in the target cell until a target cell SFN and/or P-BCH information are acquired. | 2010-10-07 |
20100254352 | METHOD FOR SUPPORTING CONTINUOUS RECEPTION OF EVOLVED BROADCAST AND MULTICAST SERVICE DATA - The method for supporting continuous reception of enhanced broadcast service data comprising steps of: an MCE receiving an “MBMS Session Start Request” message from a core network; after the MCE receives the message, transmitting a response message to the core network; MCE transmitting an “MBMS Session Start Request” message to an ENB, the message including information of adjacent cells; and the ENB broadcasting the information of adjacent cells on a current cells. With the scheme of present invention, if a user wants to move to a common cell when he/she receives MBMS service in an SFN edge cell, he/she can enter the active mode and switch into the common cell so as to reduce MBMS data loss. When a UE moves from a cell with SC-PTM transmission mode into a cell with SC-PTM transmission mode, data loss can also be reduced. | 2010-10-07 |
20100254353 | POLARIZATION REUSE AND BEAM-FORMING TECHNIQUES FOR AERONAUTICAL BROADBAND SYSTEMS - Aeronautical broadband communication is enhanced by providing an apparatus having a first antenna configured to communicate using a signal orientation corresponding to a first polarization, and a second antenna configured to communicate using a signal orientation corresponding to a second polarization, where the second polarization has at least one characteristic difference from the first polarization. Additional antennas may be used, where multiple antennas share one polarization, and multiple other antennas share a different polarization, and signals from like-polarized antennas are combined for beam-formation. | 2010-10-07 |
20100254354 | Softer and Soft Handoff in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Wireless Communication System - Transmission patterns for pilot symbols transmitted from a mobile station or base station are provided. The patterns may be selected according to a location of the mobile station with respect to one or more antennas are provided. In some aspects, the pattern may be selected based upon the distance between the mobile station and the one or more antennas. In other aspect, the pattern may be based upon whether the mobile station is in handoff. | 2010-10-07 |
20100254355 | Method and System for Determining a Location of a Device Using Femtocell Information - Aspects of a method and system for determining a location of a device using femtocell information are provided. In this regard, a femtocell management entity may be operable to receive global navigation system satellite (GNSS) coordinates of one or more of a plurality of femtocells and one or both of a receive signal strength indication (RSSI) and/or power levels of one or more of the plurality of femtocells, which are managed by the femtocell management entity. The femtocell management entity may be operable to determine a location of a communication device that is derived based on the received GNSS coordinates, RSSI and/or power levels of one or more of the plurality of femtocells and communicate the determined location to a communication device. One or more location based applications and/or services within the communication device may be operable to utilize the received determined location to provide mapping and/or location information. | 2010-10-07 |
