20130136115 | Radio Access Technology Selection - There is provided a method, including detecting, by a user terminal connected to a public land mobile net-work, PLMN, via a first radio access technology and having requested a circuit switched fallback service procedure, that a network controlled radio access technology change related to the circuit switched fallback service procedure is not performed; and selecting a second radio access technology to be applied on the basis of stored information, wherein the second radio access technology to be applied is capable to provide circuit switched services and the stored information associates at least one PLMN with at least one radio access technology. | 2013-05-30 |
20130136116 | MULTIPATH OVERLAY NETWORK AND ITS MULTIPATH MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL - A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus, which is a first node, sends a join request to a second node to route communication associated with a third node to the first node. The join request includes a first node identifier associated with the first node. The first node receives from the second node a join response comprising a second node identifier associated with the second node. The first node sends a setup request to the third node, the setup request comprising the second node identifier. The first node receives a communication with the first node identifier from the second node, the communication originating from the third node. | 2013-05-30 |
20130136117 | WIRELESS BRIDGING IN A HYBRID COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A hybrid device can be configured to use WLAN communication links for bridging network traffic between any pair of network devices in a hybrid communication network, irrespective of whether the bridged network devices support WLAN communication. The hybrid device receives a first data frame in a first frame format for transmission to a destination device. The hybrid device accesses its hybrid forwarding tables and identifies a transmit interface from which to transmit the first data frame for transmission to the destination device. If the transmit interface is a WLAN interface, WLAN forwarding tables associated with the WLAN transmit interface are accessed to identify a receiving WLAN device to which the first data frame should be transmitted. The WLAN transmit interface converts the first data frame into a second data frame in a WLAN frame format and transmits the second data frame to the receiving WLAN device. | 2013-05-30 |
20130136118 | TIME DIVISION RECEIVER AND TIME DIVISION RECEIVING METHOD - Provided are a time division receiver and a time division receiving method capable of mitigating leaks between branches for a time division multiplexed signal for which a plurality of branches have been time-division multiplexed even when processing using a single high-frequency circuit. In a time division receiver ( | 2013-05-30 |
20130136119 | Method and Apparatus for Wireless Transmission of Data Packets - Method for wire-free transmission of data packets between network nodes in a control network, wherein the data packets each have a preamble for synchronization consisting of a predetermined number of preamble symbols, and wherein during a first operating mode, each preamble-subsymbol of a preamble symbol in the preamble is coded by the phase angle of a transmitted single signal pulse, during a second operating mode to increase the signal recognition performance, for the preamble which is transmitted in the data packet, a signal pulse sequence for coding the preamble-subsymbol is transmitted instead of a single signal pulse, where the single signal pulse within the signal pulse sequence is transmitted repeatedly. | 2013-05-30 |
