20100022247 | MEASUREMENT REQUEST REPORT EXTENSIONS FOR MEDIA INDEPENDENT HANDOVER - A method and apparatus for generating a measurement report request including media independent handover (MIH) information at a medium access control (MAC) device for use in configuring a physical layer measurement device to measure the physical layer and generate a MIH event report are provided. The request is sent to a physical layer measurement device which is configured using the MIH information. A physical channel is then measured based on the MIH information. A MIH event is generated at the physical layer device and sent to a higher layer device. | 01-28-2010 |
20100246532 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING MEDIA INDEPENDENT HANDOVER BETWEEN TECHNOLOGICALLY DIVERSIFIED ACCESS NETWORKS - A wireless communication method and device may be used to perform a media independent handover between technologically diversified access networks. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to communicate with a plurality of technologically diversified access networks, such as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.X networks and Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks. The WTRU may include a plurality of access network specific protocol stacks and a media independent handover (MIH) function. The WTRU may be configured to communicate information with each of the plurality of access network specific protocol stacks using protocols specific to each to the plurality of access network protocol stacks. | 09-30-2010 |
20100318796 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A method for transmitting an encrypted signal to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) such that decryption of the encrypted signal depends on a trust zone associated with the WTRU is disclosed. The encryption may be performed using hierarchical modulation, scrambling, authentication, location validation, or a combination thereof. The size of a trust zone may also be adjusted. | 12-16-2010 |
20110064024 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CALL ROUTING AND PAGING ACROSS DIFFERENT TYPES OF NETWORKS - A network architecture uses an Application Server Autonomous Access (ASAA) server which allows paging and call routing across different types of wireless and wireline access networks. The ASAA server provides connectivity between an external voice or data network and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The external voice or data network may be a public switched telephone network (PSTN) or a public data network (PDN), so that the connectivity between the external network and the WTRU is provided through the access networks using data from the ASAA server. | 03-17-2011 |
20110200008 | MEDIA INDEPENDENT HANDOVER FOR MOBILITY - A method and apparatus for establishing a wireless communication link using a radio access technology selected from a plurality of radio access technologies are provided. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may include a plurality of network devices, each configured to communicate via a different radio access technology. The WTRU may transmit measurement information including measurement reports for the plurality of radio access technologies to a network device. The WTRU may receive a link selection decision from the network device and may establish a wireless communication link in response to the decision. The link may be established for handover of a communication session from another radio access technology. | 08-18-2011 |
20110310876 | SYSTEM FOR APPLICATION SERVER AUTONOMOUS ACCESS ACROSS DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACCESS TECHNOLOGY NETWORKS - An Application Server Autonomous Access (ASAA) system for providing autonomous access to a wireless infrastructure by devices employing different types of access technology. The system includes a server, having an associated data storage device, for storing at least one policy, and a plurality of subnetworks, coupled to server, for providing access to the server. The plurality of subnetworks employ at least two different types of access technology. A plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) are wirelessly coupled to at least one of the subnetworks. The server monitors the wireless coupling and, depending upon the at least one policy, switches the WTRUs between different ones of the subnetworks. | 12-22-2011 |
20120213201 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STATION LOCATION BASED NEIGHBOR DETERMINATION AND HANDOVER PROBABILITY ESTIMATION - The present invention is a method and system for station location based neighbor determination and handover probability estimation. A serving access point determines the location and movement measurements of a station (STA). Neighboring access points report coordinates of cell fringes of the neighboring access points. The STA sends a request for system information to the current access point along with current location of the STA. The current access point provides the system information, and the STA utilizes the system information to determine best handover candidate from among neighboring access points and an estimate of the time for handover. | 08-23-2012 |
