| 20110051668 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING PAGING INFORMATION IN A BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM - A method for efficiently transmitting and receiving a paging message and system information from and in a mobile station of a broadband wireless access system is disclosed. A method for receiving a paging message in a mobile station comprise receiving paging information from a serving base station, the paging information including paging sub group identifier (paging sub_group ID) indicating a paging sub group to which the mobile station belongs; and receiving the paging message for a predetermined paging interval of the paging sub group, wherein the paging sub group is determined separately from a paging group and a geographical location determining the paging group, and is maintained while the mobile station is being operated in an idle mode. | 2011-03-03 |
| 20110051669 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL IN-ORDER DELIVERY - Method and apparatus for MAC in-order delivery are disclosed. The MAC in-order delivery may be activated per-connection and may be negotiated at connection setup. The MAC in-order delivery either for non-ARQ connections or ARQ connections may be performed by using HARQ packet ordering information. Alternatively, the MAC in-order delivery may be performed using a sequence number (SN) field at the MAC PDU level or using an SN field at the MAC SDU level. For a connection that has MAC in-order delivery disabled, the MAC PDU may not include an SN field, and an SN field may be included in a MAC extended header or a MAC sub-header when needed. | 2011-03-03 |
| 20110051670 | INTEGRATED BLOCKER FILTERING RF FRONT END - A receiver architecture for canceling blocking signals in the receive path includes a low noise amplifier for receiving and amplifying an inbound RF signal to produce an amplified inbound signal, in which the inbound RF signal includes a modulated RF signal and a blocking signal, and a cancellation module for substantially canceling the blocking signal from the amplified inbound RF signal and substantially passing the modulated RF signal. The cancellation module cancels the blocking signal by generating an injection signal representative of the blocking signal, combining the blocking signal with the injection signal to produce an error signal, updating the injection signal based on the error signal and using the injection signal to cancel the blocking signal from the amplified inbound RF signal. | 2011-03-03 |
| 20110051671 | Method and Apparatus for Transmitting Control Signal in Radio Communication System - A method and an apparatus of transmitting a control signal in a wireless communicatino system is provided. They generate a first-spread sequence by spreading a modulated sequence in the first slot by using a first orthogonal sequence, generate a second-spread sequence by spreading a modulated sequence in the second slot by using a second orthogonal sequence. The first spread sequence and the second spread sequence are transmitted in a subframe. A length of the first orthogonal sequence is shorter than a length of the second orthogonal sequence, the second orthogonal sequence is generated by removing at least one element included in the first orthogonal sequence, and the at least one element to be removed is identical in every index of the first orthogonal sequence. | 2011-03-03 |
