| 20130003701 | METHOD FOR HANDOVER BETWEEN DIFFERENT RADIO ACCESS SCHEMES AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - In a wireless communication system including a plurality of base stations each supporting at least one of two or more radio access schemes and at least one mobile station capable of performing communication by using the two or more radio access schemes, before the mobile station moves from a source base station to a target base station, the target base station notifies the mobile station, via the source base station, of a transparent container containing uplink radio access information that specifies a radio access scheme enabling at least an initial connection to be made. Thus, the mobile station identifies the radio access scheme supported by the target base station from the transparent container before moving from the source base station to the target base station. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130003702 | Data Burst Communication Techniques For Mobile Communication Devices Operating In Packet Data Sessions - A mobile device experiences a condition where a time overlap exists between a packet data burst being communicated over a packet data channel of a serving cell and broadcast data burst being communicated over a broadcast control channel of a neighbor cell. The mobile device sets its RF receiver to receive the packet data burst instead of the broadcast data burst based on identifying that the neighbor cell is not a candidate for an upcoming handoff. On the other hand, the mobile device sets its RF receiver to receive the broadcast data burst instead of the packet data burst based on identifying that the neighbor cell is a candidate for an upcoming handoff. The mobile device may set the RF receiver to receive the packet data burst instead of the broadcast data burst based on further identifying that a call drop is imminent. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130003703 | WLAN-To-WWAN Handover Methods And Apparatus Using A WLAN Support Node Having A WWAN Interface - A mobile device establishes and maintains a voice call via a wireless local area network (WLAN). During voice call handover, the mobile device receives, from the cellular network, voice data of the voice call which is routed via a network support node. The network support node is connected to the WLAN and has a wireless link with a base station of the cellular network, for sending the voice data to the mobile device. The mobile device also sends, to the cellular network, voice data of the voice call which is communicated to the network support node over the wireless link with the base station. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130003704 | APPARATUS, AND AN ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR PRESERVING COMMUNICATION SERVICE QUALITY LEVELS DURING HAND-OFF OF COMMUNICATIONS IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A mobile station is configured to transmit a sequence of data packets over a wireless network. The station includes a data sequence expander. The expander receives an indication of a pending hand-off for the mobile station from a first network access point to a second network access point and estimates an amount of time prior to occurrence of the hand-off. The expander inserts a number of delay packets into the sequence of data packets in response to receiving the indication of the pending hand-off. The number of delay packets is determined based on the estimated amount of time prior to the occurrence of the hand-off such that the insertion of the delay packets into the sequence of data packets will cause a delay that corresponds to the amount of time prior to occurrence of the hand-off. | 2013-01-03 |
| 20130003705 | Method, Device, System and Software product for providing System Information to Enable Packet Switched Handover - A method, mobile device, network device, system, and software product are presented for providing an indication whether a source radio network controller requests to receive system information from a handover target, and for receiving the system information in a target to source transparent container, if the indication requests to receive the system information. | 2013-01-03 |
