20080291874 | HANDOVER APPARATUS AND METHOD IN A HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Provided is a handover method, in which a call manager of a network having a Circuit Switching (CS) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, and an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, provides handover, from the LTE network to the CS network, to a terminal that uses one radio channel. The handover method includes upon receiving a request for handover from the terminal via a node of the LTE network, establishing a line to a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) of the CS network; sending, to the call manager, a request for a change in a session to another party's terminal in communication with the terminal, to establish an Internet Protocol (IP) bearer between the call manager and the other party's terminal; and sending a handover command to the terminal during the establishment of an IP bearer, to establish a radio channel to the base station of the CS network. | 11-27-2008 |
20080317064 | System and method to enable combination of network controlled mobility and ue controlled mobility between different IP versions - The present invention provides session continuity when a User Equipment (UE) moves from one network to another network. A method and system for providing access to nodes supporting, for example, both Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Version (IPv6) on a network supporting only one of the IP versions are provided. In addition, both network based mobility and UE based mobility mechanisms are supported to allow a UE supporting dual stack mobility access to a network supporting only one of IPv4 or IPv6. The invention provides for a reduction of header overhead and signaling overhead. | 12-25-2008 |
20090125626 | Method and system for processing a control message in an Internet protocol-based mobile communication system supporting a multimedia service - A method and system for processing a message in an Internet protocol-based mobile communication system supporting a multimedia service. In the system, application servers include a representative application server and multiple backend application servers. A method for defining a control message between application servers to set up a session using the standard Internet protocol is provided. When an application server performs a call processing operation, control message processing load and control message transmission delay is reduced. | 05-14-2009 |
20100190500 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING USER EQUIPMENT INITIATED AND ASSISTED BACKWARD HANDOVER IN HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS NETWORKS - The present invention relates to the field of mobility in heterogeneous wireless networks. In particular, the invention proposes a system and method of providing User Equipment (UE) initiated and assisted backward handover in the heterogeneous wireless networks. Depending on certain criteria, the UE may decide that if it needs a handover from a serving network to a target network. The UE initiates the backward handover by sending handover request message to the target network through the serving network. The serving network checks for the capabilities of the UE and authorizes the backward handover. The target network prepares for the backward handover and informs the UE when the target network is ready. The UE then starts the handover procedure. | 07-29-2010 |
20130042304 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HANDOVER BETWEEN INTERWORKING WLAN AND EUTRAN ACCESS SYSTEMS - This invention relates to the area of Mobility and Handover between heterogeneous wireless networks. The scope of the invention also covers the case when the UE is capable of accessing both the WLAN and EUTRAN access systems simultaneously and also the case where the UE is not capable of accessing both the WLAN and EUTRAN access systems simultaneously. This invention provides a system and method to perform Mobility between the access systems with optimized authentication procedure using security context transfer between the access systems and also minimize the data loss by buffering the data during the handover. More specifically, this invention provides a system and method to support handover between the I-WLAN and the EUTRAN access systems. | 02-14-2013 |
20140112255 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING STATUS REPORT COMPRISING RECEIVED STATUS OF PACKET DATA IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method for transmitting packet data units Packet Data Units (PDUs) at a PDU transmitter in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a first PDU comprising a PDU header and a data portion, receiving Negative Acknowledgement NACK information for the first PDU, segmenting the first PDU to form one or more PDU segments if a size of a second PDU for retransmission is smaller than a size of the first PDU, wherein each of the one or more PDU segment comprises a PDU segment header and a data portion, and transmitting the one or more PDU segment to a PDU receiver. | 04-24-2014 |
