20140334371 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING DATA BY USING PLURALITY OF CARRIERS IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - The method for transmitting and receiving data at a base station in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: receiving a performance report from a terminal; determining whether the addition of a serving cell is necessary; when the addition of the serving cell is necessary, transmitting a request for receiving a cell identifying signal to one or more other base stations on the basis of the received performance repoπand transmitting a request for transmitting the cell identifying signal to the terminal. According to the embodiment, in a network in which a small cell and a macro cell are overlapped and operated, the terminal can minimize battery consumption and quickly recognize the small cell. | 2014-11-13 |
20140334372 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATION OF SYSTEM INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS SYSTEM - A method and apparatus for communicating system information, such as SIBs, from a base station to a terminal in a wireless network such as an LTE network. The base station is configured to broadcast the system information in accordance with a standard which defines a range of allowable values for characteristics of the broadcast. A restricted range of values for the characteristics is defined as a strict subset of the range of allowable values, and repeated broadcasts of the system information are configured in accordance with the restricted range of values. The terminal uses knowledge of the restricted range of values to facilitate reception of multiple repetitions of the broadcast. The terminal then combines the multiple repetitions to facilitate recovery of the system information. | 2014-11-13 |
20140334373 | Dynamic Multi-Destination Addressing - A network component that processes or sends multi-destination frame via a wireless radio link. In one example embodiment, the network component may receive the multi-destination frame that comprises a control block type, a receiver list, and one or more data packets in a wireless radio network. The network component may determine the control block type and the receiver list from the multi-destination frame. The receiver list may reference a plurality of receivers and the control block type may indicate a type of receiver list. The network component may receive one or more data frames. In another example embodiment, the network component may generate a multi-destination frame that comprises the control block type, a receiver list associated with the control block type, a header, and the one or more data frames and send the multi-destination frame to a plurality of receivers. | 2014-11-13 |
20140334374 | Dynamic Point to Point Mobile Network Including Base Station Aspects System and Method - A computationally implemented system and method that is designed to, but is not limited to: relating first information with third information, the first information regarding second information having been received at first fixed position base station devices being part of a base station network, the second information regarding first communication related events involving one or more of the first mobile operating system based mobile communication devices and one or more of the first fixed position base station devices, the third information regarding the fourth information having been received at the one or more second fixed position base station devices being part of the base station network regarding second communication related events occurring directly between the two or more second mobile operating system based mobile communication devices. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure. | 2014-11-13 |
20140334375 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE THEREFOR - In a wireless communication system for performing a wireless communication based on a time division method between two wireless communication devices, data packets are transmitted from one wireless communication device to another. If the other wireless communication device fails to receive a packet in a correct order or has received a packet that does not coincide with a scheduled packet sequence number, the incorrectly received packet is stored in a storage unit, and released after the packet that is correctly received later so that the packets are obtained in the correct order. When the scheduled packet number fails to be updated in a certain frame, and the scheduled packet fails to be received in a succeeding frame, the other wireless communication device transmits a resend request in the succeeding frame. | 2014-11-13 |
