20080247388 | TRANSFERRING A SESSION IN A CLUSTER - Various techniques for transferring a session in a cluster are disclosed. In one configuration of a cluster, an apparatus may be configured to communicate with an access terminal. The apparatus may be configured to store a session for the access terminal, the session including a plurality of attributes. The apparatus may be further configured to identify one or more of the attributes required by an access point to serve the access terminal, and provide the one or more attributes to the node. | 10-09-2008 |
20080247389 | SIGNALING IN A CLUSTER - An apparatus includes a flow unit configured to support a first control flow with a first node in the cluster. The flow unit is also configured to support a second control flow, through the apparatus, between the first node and a second node in the cluster. The first and second control flows include a plurality of frames each having a field and content, wherein the field in each of the frames identifies whether the content in that frame is part of the first or second control flow. | 10-09-2008 |
20090022173 | CONTROL INDICATIONS FOR SLOTTED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - Multiple control indications are transmitted within timeslots defined for a slotted communication system. For example, a wireless node may transmit a control indication at a beginning of a timeslot and at an end of a timeslot. A control indication may comprise a resource utilization message that a node generates in an attempt reduce inference at the node that is caused by transmissions by neighboring nodes. A node also may synchronize to a received timeslot of another node based on the position of one or more control indications within the timeslot. Here, each control indication may include information that indicates the position of the control indication within the timeslot. | 01-22-2009 |
20090034458 | METHOD FOR SCHEDULING ORTHOGONALLY OVER MULTIPLE HOPS - Apparatus and method for providing a relay between uplink and downlink nodes. The relay is provided by simultaneously communicating with the uplink and downlink nodes on a common channel. | 02-05-2009 |
20090036138 | METHOD FOR SCHEDULING ORTHOGONALLY OVER MULTIPLE HOPS - Apparatus and method for supporting wireless downlink and uplink connections. In the downlink direction, an apparatus receives from the downlink node a request to communicate using an allocation of radio resources specified by the downlink node, and transmits to the downlink node a grant to communicate using at least a portion of the specified allocation of radio resources. In the uplink direction, the apparatus sends a request to a downlink node to communicate using a specified allocation of radio resources, and receives from the downlink node a grant to communicate using at least a portion of the specified allocation of radio resources | 02-05-2009 |
20110310799 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING PACKET DATA NETWORK CONNECTIVITY - Methods and apparatuses are provided for managing packet data network (PDN) connectivity for a device. PDN connectivity to a local gateway can be managed at an access point with which the device is communicating based at least in part on received PDN connectivity parameters. The PDN connectivity parameters can include access points, related closed subscriber groups, public land mobile networks, etc., from which a device can request a PDN connection. The PDN connectivity parameters can be specific for the device and/or for one or more access point names. In addition, a subscription server or other core network device can communicate the PDN connectivity parameters to the device and/or the device can receive PDN connectivity parameters as a result of a failed PDN connection attempt to an access point. | 12-22-2011 |
20150092573 | MULTIFLOW WITH ANTENNA SELECTION - Optimizing multiflow performance and priority across UEs and networks including receive antenna selection at the UEs, CSI measurement and reporting, and scheduling for multiflow operation. The techniques may evaluate channel conditions for a UE for multiple access points and different combinations of antennas and determine how the UE should feedback CSI for transmissions from the multiple access points. The disclosed techniques also include techniques for scheduling transmissions from the multiple access points using the CSI information to optimize multiflow performance and priority across UEs and networks. Various scheduling modes use feedback from UEs including the maximum supported rates for each link and/or rates based on the maximum sum capacity of the links used concurrently. The scheduler may maintain separate priority lists for each access point or a single priority list across both access points. The techniques may be used for multiflow operation using LTE and WLAN links. | 04-02-2015 |
20160081057 | PAGING FOR LOCAL IP ACCESS PACKETS - Local IP access paging schemes facilitate paging of an access terminal when packets destined for the access terminal are received via local IP access. In some implementations, a local entity acquires information that enables local paging of the access terminal by sniffing messages passing through the local entity. In some implementations, a local entity sends a packet or message to cause the core network to page an access terminal when a local IP access packet destined for the access terminal arrives at the local entity. | 03-17-2016 |
