20150019689 | MANAGED FILE TRANSFER SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS - An apparatus, methods, and computer program products are described which transfer files/data from one system to other. Source and target system can be external trading partners or internal enterprise applications. File transfers can be scaled horizontally or vertically, depending on the requirement without any server or application downtime. File transfers can also be managed and executed in different server/infrastructure zones as per the different regulatory requirements (e.g., PCI, CPNI, etc.) or security sensitivity using service demarcation. File transfer platforms can be patched or upgraded by isolating one or multiple components at a time without disrupting running production processes. Auto-recovery component can handle file transfer failures automatically without any manual intervention making the system self-healing. Periodic endpoint scanning is added to the platform to proactively scan and detect connectivity issues with trading partners or internal systems involved in file transfers. | 01-15-2015 |
20140036837 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMBINED MAC LEVEL MESSAGE WITH CQI CHANNEL CONTROL MESSAGE FOR CHANNEL FEEDBACK REPORT - In one or more embodiments, a system and method of managing network channel quality in a wireless communications network includes reporting a channel quality measurement from the particular user to a base station (BS) over an available CQICH, and determining a MCS based, at least in part, upon the channel quality measurement. If a threshold network CQICH capacity is reached during a subsequent data frame such that a CQICH is no longer available, MAC level messages are generated between the BS and the particular user to trigger reporting of signal quality information to the BS by the particular user. After the next CQICH cycle commences and if a CQICH is still unavailable, the signal quality information is continued to be provided via MAC level messages. Otherwise, a CQICH is reallocated for a particular user and channel quality measurement reporting is transitioned back to the CQICH. | 02-06-2014 |
20140024373 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MULTIMODE DEVICE HANDOVER - Systems and methods of operating multimode 3G/4G communications devices in an overlapping 3G/4G coverage area (e.g., WiMAX or LTE/CDMA EvDO) include determining if a number associated with temporarily-disabled sectors of an available sector set of the multimode device while the device is operational with a 3G base station is at least equal to a threshold number. If the number is at least equal to the threshold number, a scan for a sector in the 4G network to handover the operation of the multimode device from the 3G base station associated with the 3G coverage to a 4G base station associated with the 4G coverage is initiated. A scan for a fixed period of time for a new available sector in the 3G network to be added in the available sector set may be initiated; and, if a new available sector is added to the sector set, it may be redetermined if the number associated with the temporarily-disabled sectors is at least equal to the threshold number, before initiating the scan for a sector in the 4G network. | 01-23-2014 |
20130337871 | HYBRID SCHEME FOR DL LINK ADAPTATION - A system and method of a hybrid scheme of DL link adaptation in a network having mobile stations (MSs) in communication with a base station (BS). The system may include a mode decision module associated with the base station. The mode decision module may include one or more processors configured to select a first mode configuration for use during transmission of a first communication from the base station. The BS may receive first feedback information associated with the first communication, where the first feedback information includes a first mode recommendation and first channel information. Based on the first feedback information, the BS may generate a BS-derived mode configuration based on the first channel information and compare the first mode recommendation and the BS-derived mode configuration. Based on the comparison, the BS may determine a second mode configuration to use to configure a second communication. | 12-19-2013 |
20130315148 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF AN AVERAGING PARAMETER FOR PCINR AND RSSI - A system and method for adaptive control of an averaging parameter in a communications network may include an averaging parameter adaptive control module (APAC) that is associated with a base station and that includes one or more processors configured to generate a first averaging parameter that is transmitted by the base station to a mobile station communicating with the base station. The mobile station may use the first averaging parameter to generate first channel condition information that indicates a condition of a communication channel. First feedback information including the first channel condition information may be received at the base station. The APAC may generate a second averaging parameter using the first averaging parameter and the first feedback information and may transmit the second averaging parameter from the base station to the mobile station, thereby adaptively controlling the second averaging parameter based on the first feedback information. | 11-28-2013 |
20130268671 | TRAFFIC PLANNING IN A NETWORK USING A VARIABLE OVERSUBSCRIPTION FACTOR - A system and methodology for network planning in which a software based tool provides network engineers with the capability to more precisely plan for traffic loading within the network on a cell site by cell site basis. Thus for each cell site, variations in geographic location, device mix, historical usage patterns and other factors are taken into account to allow for more accurate network planning and for more efficient use of capital. Cell sites with a higher traffic profile based upon historic device mix and usage patterns will be associated with lower OSF values thus enhancing the user experience for a device user in communication with that cell site. On the other hand, for cell sites with a lesser traffic profile, a higher OSF value is ascribed thus allowing for capital to be deployed elsewhere while still maintaining a positive user experience for users relying on that cell site. | 10-10-2013 |
20130263261 | CENTRALIZED SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A centralized security management system (CSMS) is provided to monitor a network to detect and mitigate attacks in or to the network. The CSMS includes a variety of devices located throughout the network to collect and synthesize data collected or obtained from devices operating in the network. The collected data is analyzed using behavioral engines or other software algorithms to develop trends for a normal and abnormal operating condition. The abnormal operating conditions are analyzed further to determine attacks to the devices or the network. Based on the attacks, a mitigation scheme is implemented to remove or reduce the attacks. | 10-03-2013 |
20130242846 | Subcarrier Signal for Synchronization in Macro Network - Disclosed herein are methods and systems that may help a WiMAX base station function without a GPS signal by providing a high-stability reference signal via a subcarrier of a broadcast signal, such as an FM radio signal. An exemplary broadcast station may therefore be configured to phase-lock a subcarrier signal to a GPS signal, and include this subcarrier in its broadcast signal, thereby providing the subcarrier signal for use by a base station as a high-stability reference signal for local-oscillator stabilization at the base station. The broadcast station may further modulate a timing signal onto the subcarrier signal. An exemplary base station may therefore receive the broadcast signal, decode the broadcast signal to acquire the subcarrier signal, and use the subcarrier signal to stabilize its local oscillator, rather than using a GPS signal. The base station may further demodulate the subcarrier to acquire the timing signal, which the base station may use for frame-start synchronization, instead of a GPS signal. | 09-19-2013 |
20130170360 | ENABLING COEXISTENCE BETWEEN FDD AND TDD WIRELESS NETWORKS - Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating interference between from a wireless time division duplex (TDD) communications device and a wireless frequency division duplex (FDD) communications device includes processing quality-indicator reports received from the FDD device to determine if the FDD device has experienced interference from the TDD device. Such interference may be mitigated by adjusting a downlink configuration of the FDD base station in communication with the FDD device. To detect and mitigate interference from an FDD device to a TDD device, it is determined if a monitored value of an operational parameter of the FDD device is within a fixed range of a maximum value of the operational parameter, and if so, a specific time interval or frequency of the FDD device is assigned for communication purposes. Similar interference detection and mitigation techniques may also be used for interference scenarios between two TDD systems including TDD devices. | 07-04-2013 |
20130070629 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST (HARQ) ENABLE/DISABLE - A system and method of increasing data throughput in a wireless communications network between a base station (BS) and one or more mobile stations (MS) includes establishing a service flow (SF) and initially enabling a hybrid automated repeat request (HARQ) protocol; determining, at a particular time, the measure of quality of the communications channel; comparing the determined measure of quality with a predetermined channel quality threshold; and selectively disabling the HARQ protocol based upon a first comparison result while continuing the SF between the BS and MS. In other aspects, after selectively disabling the HARQ protocol, the method further includes determining that the time-varying measure of quality of the communications channel has deteriorated below the predetermined channel quality threshold; and selectively re-enabling the HARQ protocol in the established SF. | 03-21-2013 |

The mobile station may use the first averaging parameter to generate first channel condition information that indicates a condition of a communication channel. First feedback information including the first channel condition information may be received at the base station. The APAC may generate a second averaging parameter using the first averaging parameter and the first feedback information and may transmit the second averaging parameter from the base station to the mobile station, thereby adaptively controlling the second averaging parameter based on the first feedback information. | 11-01-2012 |
20120275372 | Method and System for Controlling the Provision of Media Content to Mobile Stations - A media service controller controls how one or more base stations transmit media content from one or more media servers to mobile stations. The media service controller may control whether a mobile station receives media content via a unicast or a multicast connection, e.g., based on a predefined schedule and/or on whether other mobile stations served by the same base station are receiving the same media content. The media service controller may provide a content discovery service through which a first media server may determine whether other media servers are providing the same media content. The media service controller may facilitate changing a source of media content received by a mobile station, e.g., by changing the source from a first media server to a second media server when the mobile station moves from an area associated with the first media server to an area associated with the second media server. | 11-01-2012 |
20120238315 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING HANDOVER CANCELLATION - Systems and methods for performing handover cancellation in a wireless communication system are provided. According to an aspect of the invention, a mobile station requests bandwidth from a serving base station for the mobile station to send a handover cancellation request message to the serving base station. The mobile station then receives an allocation of the requested bandwidth from the serving base station, and sends the handover cancellation request message to the serving base station via the allocated bandwidth. The mobile station requests the bandwidth after a disconnect time and before a resource retain time. | 09-20-2012 |
