20140254505 | PRIORITIZING TIME CRITICAL DATA FOR TRANSMISSION DURING POWER LIMITED STATE IN DC-HSUPA OPERATION - Techniques for prioritizing time critical data for transmission during a power-limited state in DC-HSUPA operation are described. A user equipment (UE) may be in a power-limited state. The UE may identify non-scheduled, time critical data and scheduled data as available for transmission. The UE may detect that a minimum transport block size is about to be selected for a transmission on a secondary uplink carrier. The UE may prioritize the non-scheduled, time critical data over the scheduled data and transmit the non-scheduled, time critical data on a primary uplink carrier based on the prioritizing. The UE also may transmit the scheduled data during a transmission time interval (TTI) that is different from the TTI during which the non-scheduled, time critical data was transmitted. The non-scheduled, time critical data and the scheduled data may be transmitted using transmit diversity. | 09-11-2014 |

20150036518 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR CONTINUOUS INTER-FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT RECONFIGURATIONS OF DC-HSUPA UE - Disclosed are systems and methods for continuous inter-frequency measurement reconfigurations in a DC-HSUPA User Equipment (UE). In one aspect, the system may configure the UE to perform intra-frequency measurements on a frequency f1 and inter-frequency measurements on a frequency f2 in a dual carrier (DC) downlink (DL) mode and a single carrier (SC) uplink (UL) mode. The system may then reconfigure the UE to operate in a DC UL mode and continuing to perform inter-frequency measurements on the frequency f2 in the DC UL mode. The system may then reconfigure the UE to operate in the SC UL mode and continuing to perform inter-frequency measurements on frequency f2 in the SC UL mode. | 02-05-2015 |
20150043441 | ENHANCEMENTS FOR TRANSMISSION OVER MULTIPLE CARRIERS - Data is selectively transmitted over one or more carriers of a set of carriers. According to some aspects of the disclosure, a decision may be made to forgo the transmission of a preamble via one of the carriers (e.g., channels). For example, in a multi-carrier system, transmission of a preamble via one carrier may be inhibited if all of the data can be transmitted via another carrier. According to some aspects of the disclosure, a decision may be made to transmit different types of data on a single carrier rather than on multiple carriers. For example, a single carrier may be used to transmit schedule data and non-scheduled data if all of the data can be transmitted on one of the carriers (e.g., during a single transmission time interval). In this case, transmission of a preamble on another one of the carriers may therefore be inhibited. | 02-12-2015 |
20150312959 | TRANSMITTING DATA OUTSIDE OF A DISCONTINUOUS TRANSMIT (DTX) CYCLE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - Aspects described herein relate to transmitting hybrid automatic repeat/request (HARQ) data in continuous packet connectivity (CPC) mode. Data is transmitted to a network according to a discontinuous transmit (DTX) cycle in a CPC mode. The CPC mode can be exited, however, based at least in part on detecting available HARQ data for transmission. In this regard, a next transmission opportunity configured for transmitting the available HARQ data is determined, where the next transmission opportunity is not within a transmission time instance defined by the DTX cycle, and the available HARQ data is transmitted during the next transmission opportunity outside of the CPC mode. | 10-29-2015 |

20120069745 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO IMPROVE LDP CONVERGENCE USING HIERARCHICAL LABEL STACKING - A method for improving LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) convergence time in an MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network is described. An hierarchical LSP is established to transport packets belonging to a FEC attached to an egress LSR. The hierarchical LSP includes an egress LSR LSP that is common for each of the FECs attached to the egress LSR and forms a path from the ingress LSR through one or more intermediate LSRs to the egress LSR. The egress LSR LSP is used when label switching packets destined for the FECs attached to the egress LSR. The hierarchical LSP also includes a unique FEC LSP for each FEC that is used by the egress LSR to identify and forward packets to that FEC. Responsive to a topology change that changes a next-hop of the ingress LSR to reach the egress LSR, the ingress LSR modifies an entry in a forwarding structure to change the next-hop for the egress LSR LSP and does not modify substantially any forwarding structure entities for the FEC LSPs. LDP convergence time is reduced through a reduction of forwarding structure modifications after the topology change. | 03-22-2012 |
20130022041 | SIGNALING A LABEL SWITCHED PATH (LSP) TUNNELING MODEL - Signaling a Label Switched Path (LSP) tunneling model is described. In one embodiment, a network element that is acting as an egress network element in a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network signals multiple LSPs for multiple disparate applications provided in the MPLS network that each require a different type of tunneling model. The network element transmits a first label mapping message for one of the LSPs that includes an indication of a first tunneling model type applicable for that LSP. That LSP is to be used to transport traffic in the MPLS network for a first one of the disparate applications that requires the indicated first tunneling model type. The network element further transits a second label mapping message for a second one of the LSPs that includes an indication of a second tunneling model type applicable for that LSP. That LSP is to be used to transport traffic in the MPLS network for a second one of the disparate applications that requires the indicated second tunneling model type. The first tunneling model type and the second tunneling model type are different. In one embodiment, the first tunneling model type is a uniform tunneling model and the second tunneling model type is a pipe tunneling model (regular pipe or short-pipe). | 01-24-2013 |
20140269261 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IP/MPLS FAST REROUTE - A method is disclosed that is implemented by a router for executing an internet protocol fast reroute process in response to a network event invalidating a current route to a destination node without degrading forwarding plane functionality or performance caused by indirect forwarding information base lookups. The method comprises a set steps including receiving or generating the network event by the router, the network event associated with a network event identifier and looking up the network event identifier in an event table to determine routes that are affected by the network event. The method further includes determining whether a route with a fast reroute forwarding object is affected by the network event in the routing information base and overwriting a current next hop forwarding object using a backup next hop forwarding object in the forwarding information base. | 09-18-2014 |
20140334286 | INTER-DOMAIN FAST REROUTE METHODS AND NETWORK DEVICES - A network device, is to be deployed in a network between a first network domain and a second network domain, and is to be configured for fast reroute.

20150016242 | Method and Apparatus for Optimized LFA Computations by Pruning Neighbor Shortest Path Trees - A method is implemented by a network element for determining a next hop of a backup path for a fast reroute process to be utilized in response to a network event invalidating a primary path to a destination node. The method reduces computational requirements of the network element by reducing a number of paths to be evaluated without affecting selection of the backup path. The method selects a neighbor node P of a source node S to calculate a shortest path tree (SPT) for P for use in identifying backup paths for S. The SPT is calculated for P, pruning paths from the SPT that traverse S or that fail an LFA condition. P is selected for the next hop of the backup path for a destination node X where the SPT of P provides an LFA path from S to the destination node X. | 01-15-2015 |
