| 20130044582 | CONTROL OF END-TO-END DELAY FOR DELAY SENSITIVE IP TRAFFICS USING FEEDBACK CONTROLLED ADAPTIVE PRIORITY SCHEME - When transporting delay-sensitive traffics such as voice, video and radar data over Internet Protocol (IP), control of end-to-end delay becomes a challenge. Typical approaches tie up bandwidths for entire duration of call. Second thing they do, is prioritization of certain classes over others, to control queuing delays, but this prioritization, remains at class-level and does not go to individual session-levels. As a result certain sessions within a class get more delay than others. Depending upon situation, it can cause adverse effects to certain QoS sessions. In our invention we have developed an intelligent priority scheme which adapts serving priorities of sessions to control ETE delay of each individual QoS session. Priority adapting mechanism is based on feedback control which measures ETE delay of QoS session at destination node and broadcasts it to all nodes along the route of the session to adapt session's priorities to control ETE delay. | 2013-02-21 |

| 20130044626 | Adaptive Multi-Service Data Framing - When a signal-to-noise ratio affecting radio communication becomes sufficiently low, the data transmission rate is responsively decreased in compensation. The signal-to-noise ratio of the communication link is thereby increased. Data for multiple different services is transmitted in data packets between two radios. By allocating one part, or time slot, of the data packet's payload to one service, and allocating another part, or time slot, of the data packet's payload to another service, communications sessions for multiple services can be maintained concurrently. Services are prioritized relative to each other. In case the signal-to-noise ratio becomes too low, data packet portions that are related to lower-priority services can be omitted from some data packets before those data packets are transmitted.

| 20130044675 | METHOD, ENODEB, AND RELAY NODE FOR UN SUBFRAME CONFIGURATION PROCESSING - A method and a relay node (RN) for Un subframe configuration processing are disclosed. The method includes: receiving, by an RN, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message sent by an eNodeB (eNB), where the RRC reconfiguration message includes subframe reconfiguration information of the RN; and applying, by the RN, a RRC reconfiguration immediately upon reception of the RRC reconfiguration message, and applying a Un subframe reconfiguration. The foregoing technical solution can implement the Un subframe configuration of the eNB and the RN and improve communication quality. | 2013-02-21 |
| 20130044676 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING SIGNALS BETWEEN A BASE STATION AND A RELAY NODE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a method for transmitting signals by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: resetting a start symbol index for a relay node dedicated downlink physical control channel and a relay node dedicated downlink physical common channel, respectively; transmitting a message including a parameter required for resetting the start symbol index to the relay node; setting the start symbol index to a preset value or a value that has been given prior to receiving the reestablishment message, in the case where the relay node has sent a specific number of NACKs for the relay node dedicated downlink physical control channel or the relay node dedicated downlink physical common channel; and transmitting the relay node dedicated downlink physical control channel and the relay node dedicated downlink physical common channel to the relay node, based on the start symbol index having been set. | 2013-02-21 |
| 20130044677 | Telecommunications System Comprising an Airborne Communication Node, Airborne Communication Node and Tactical Radio Node - A telecommunications system comprises a number of remote subnetworks, a subnetwork comprising at least one tactical radio node NRT serving as gateway between said subnetwork and a backbone network consisting of at least one airborne communication node. An NRT node communicates with the airborne communication node by converting the wave form of the signals to be transmitted outside the subnetwork being associated with it into a wave form used by the airborne communication node, said airborne communication node transmitting the duly received signal without modifying its wave form to at least one NRT node belonging to another subnetwork. A tactical radio communication node and an airborne communication node are also disclosed. | 2013-02-21 |
