20150264734 | DIRECT MODE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND COMMUNICATION RESOURCE SCHEDULING METHOD THEREOF - A direct mode communication system and a communication resource scheduling method thereof are provided. The direct mode communication system includes a base station and at least one client direct mode communication apparatus. The at least one client direct mode communication apparatus includes a first client direct mode communication apparatus. The first client direct mode communication apparatus contends in a communication resource contention pool to generate a communication resource contention message, and transmits the communication resource contention message to the base station. The base station decides a communication resource schedule for the at least one client direct mode communication apparatus according to the communication resource contention message. | 2015-09-17 |
20150264735 | DIRECT MODE COMMUNICATION NETWORK APPARATUS - A direct mode communication network apparatus is provided. The direct mode communication network apparatus estimates a connection time and a proximity time of different client direct mode communication apparatuses according to apparatus information of the different client direct mode communication apparatuses. The direct mode communication network apparatus establishes a direct mode communication connection between the client direct mode communication apparatuses if the proximity time is greater than the connection time. | 2015-09-17 |
20150264736 | SOPHISTICATED AUTOMATED RELATIONSHIP ALERTER - Device, process and program for determining and alerting a user of the existence of nearby acquaintance, including: providing a first electronic communication device having near-field transmitting and receiving communications capability, a user interface and control circuitry; transmitting from the first communication device an inquiry to determine the presence in the near-field of a compatible second electronic communication device; upon receipt of a positive response to the inquiry, transmitting from the first communication device anonymous user indicia; receiving anonymous user indicia from the second communication device; coordinating the received anonymous user indicia to determine the presence of any matches between the transmitted anonymous user information and the received anonymous user indicia; and providing either a list of matches or an indication of no matches to the user via the user interface. Based on the information exchanged, the users can determine whether a relationship between the users exists or might be created. | 2015-09-17 |
20150264737 | Wireless Transit Link Discovery and Establishment - The present invention provides a technique for allowing neighboring nodes to dynamically discover the existence of each other and establish transit links therebetween. The discovery process includes providing a channel assessment among a number of communication channels based on channel traffic or characteristics of the channel traffic. Based on the channel assessment, a candidate channel is selected and the mesh node will begin transmitting discovery messages and listening for responses to the discovery messages from neighboring mesh nodes. Upon receipt of a response, the mesh node can determine whether a transit link can and should be established with the neighboring node. During establishment of a transit link, a lower layer communication link is established with the neighboring mesh node for scheduling and authentication of the respective mesh nodes with respect to each other, prior to activation of the transit link itself. The transit link will be used for forwarding data. | 2015-09-17 |
20150264738 | METHOD BY WHICH TERMINAL FOR SUPPORTING MULTIPLE RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES RECOVERS WHEN RADIO LINK FAILURE HAS OCCURRED AND DEVICE FOR SAME - A method by which a terminal for supporting multiple radio access technologies (multi-RAT) recovers when a radio link failure has occurred can comprise the steps of: detecting a radio link failure of a first RAT while maintaining an RRC connection state with the first RAT; determining the radio link failure if a radio link of the first RAT does not recover after a predetermined first time elapses after the detection; and determining whether the radio link failure of the first RAT recovers during a predetermined second time after the determination. | 2015-09-17 |
