The process takes place in different levels wherein the system decides whether the SMS message should be sent to the Base Object or different Related Objects depending upon the Campaign Workflow and locates the mobile phone number of the entity and finally transmits the SMS message via SMS Service Provider chosen from the user Interface. | 2013-07-18 |
20130184017 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD THEREFOR, AND PROGRAM - A communication apparatus searches for another network after a network is created, participates in another network in accordance with a role, in communication parameter setting processing, of a communication apparatus existing in another network, and executes the communication parameter setting processing. After the communication apparatus decides to receive the communication parameters from another communication apparatus, the communication apparatus determines an activation state of a providing function of a provider apparatus of the communication parameters, and requests the provider apparatus to provide the communication parameters in accordance with the determination. | 2013-07-18 |
20130184018 | INTERCELL FREQUENCY OFFSET COMPENSATION FOR FREQUENCY DOMAIN INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION AND EQUALIZATION FOR DOWNLINK CELLULAR SYSTEMS - Methods and apparatus are described for interference cancellation of interference components of a time domain signal in the frequency domain. A time domain sequence is received, and a plurality of overlapping time domain segments is generated from the time domain sequence. Frequency offset compensation to compensate for frequency offset associated with a serving cell is performed in the time domain, and the overlapping time domain segments are then converted to the frequency domain. Additional frequency offset compensation may be performed to compensation for the frequency offset associated with interfering cells. | 2013-07-18 |
20130184019 | FREQUENCY DOMAIN INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION AND EQUALIZATION FOR DOWNLINK CELLULAR SYSTEMS - Methods and apparatus are described for interference cancellation of interference components of a time domain signal in the frequency domain. A communications device receives a time domain sequence and generates overlapping time domain segments from the time domain sequence. The overlapping time domain segments are then converted to the frequency domain to generate frequency domain representations of the overlapping time domain segments. The frequency domain representations are stored in a residual memory, and interference components are directly removed from the frequency domain representations stored in the residual memory in the frequency domain. | 2013-07-18 |

20130184021 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYSTEM ACCESS - According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system access method for a user equipment performing machine-to-machine (M2M) communication with a system may include: awaiting, when the user equipment detects a need for system access, reception of access delay information from a base station for a preset delay information wait time; obtaining, when access delay information is received from the base station within the delay information wait time, an access delay time from the access delay information; and awaiting expiration of the access delay time while not attempting system access. Hence, system access attempts made by many M2M user equipments can be efficiently handled in the present invention. | 2013-07-18 |
20130184022 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING NOISE FLOOR IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS ENVIRONMENT - An electronic device includes communications circuitry configured to communicate with an assistance server. The electronic device has an antenna assembly having antenna configuration parameters including a gain profile and a direction. The electronic device transmits a noise floor data request to the assistance server, the noise floor data request including a location of the electronic device, an indication of the gain profile and the direction. The electronic device receives a noise floor value from the assistance server for at least one wireless communications channel, the noise floor value determined to account for the location of the electronic device, the gain profile and the direction of the antenna assembly. | 2013-07-18 |
