20090213957 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MULTICAST AND BROADCAST SERVICES - A method for providing a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) by transmitting a plurality of data frames in a wireless network. The method includes: generating a first MBS data information element (MBS-DATA-IE) in a first one of the data frames, the first MBS-DATA-IE including information relating to a logical channel of the MBS, and indicating a location of an MBS map (MBS-MAP) in a second one of the data frames; determining ones of the data frames between the first and second ones of the data frames in which to add a plurality of extra MBS-DATA-IEs; and generating the extra MBS-DATA-IEs, the extra MBS-DATA-IEs being generated in the determined ones of the data frames and including information relating to the logical channel. | 08-27-2009 |
20100110963 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTICAST/ BROADCAST SERVICE ZONE BOUNDARY DETECTION - A wireless communication method for providing zone boundary detection performed by a controller managing communications within a multicast/broadcast service (MBS) zone. The method includes assigning to a boundary paging group a first base station communicating within the MBS zone and near a boundary of the MBS zone. The method further includes transmitting, through a second base station which covers a mobile station, to the mobile station information indicating that the boundary paging group corresponds to locations near the boundary of the MBS zone. | 05-06-2010 |
20100135196 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR OVERLAPPING MULTICAST AND BROADCAST SERVICE ZONES - A method for providing resource allocation in a communication network includes identifying at least two broadcast zones for receiving broadcast services in the communication network and generating a first index based on a relative relationship among the at least two broadcast zones. The first index includes information indicative of whether a first broadcast zone overlaps with at least one other broadcast zone. The method further includes generating a second index based on the relative relationship among the at least two broadcast zones; assigning at least one identifier to each of the at least two broadcast zones based on the first index and the second index; and enabling data transmissions to the at least two broadcast zones based on the assigned identifiers and using the at least one communication resource associated with the identifiers. The second index may include information indicative of a number of broadcast zones overlapped with the first broadcast zone. Each identifier may be associated with at least one communication resource, with distinct identifiers being assigned to overlapping broadcast zones of the at least two broadcast zones. | 06-03-2010 |
20120044865 | Apparatus And Method For Coupling An M2M Device To A Wireless Network - Apparatus for coupling one or more machine-to-machine (M2M) devices to a wireless network, including: a first network interface controller (NIC) module configured to communicate with the M2M devices; an M2M controller unit coupled to the first NIC module, the M2M controller unit including a database and a controller, the controller being configured to store information regarding the M2M devices in the database and to retrieve information regarding the M2M devices from the database; and a second NIC module coupled to the M2M controller unit, the second NIC module including an M2M enable unit configured to send the information retrieved by the controller to the wireless network. | 02-23-2012 |

20090028069 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NETWORK DATA TRANSMITTING - A method and system for network data transmitting in a communication system includes transmitting a data from at least one transmission node to at least one receiving node of a transmission-receiving group among the plurality of communication nodes by utilizing a node ID, the node ID of communication node in the group is being assigned by a N-carry operation of a determined number N. | 01-29-2009 |
20110116434 | Reliable Synchronization Apparatus And Method Within A Multicast And Broadcast Service Zone - A reliable synchronization apparatus and method within a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) zone having m sync executers (SEs) belonging to n retransmission zones is provided. Each retransmission zone has a selected leader SE and other member SEs. The apparatus comprises a sync controller and the n selected leader SEs. When the Sync controller multicasts a sync ruler to all SEs in a retransmission zone, the leader SE that loses the Sync ruler sends a NACK message to request the sync controller to retransmit the sync ruler. An election is triggered for updating leader information and announcing election to all SEs. The member SE that loses the sync ruler sends a NACK message to request its leader or the Sync controller to retransmit the sync ruler. | 05-19-2011 |
20120170512 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION LAYER GATEWAY ASSISTED LOCAL IP ACCESS AT A FEMTO BASE STATION BY NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION - A method for application layer gateway (ALG) assisted local IP access (LIPA) at a base station by network address translation (NAT) allows IP capable UEs connected via HeNB or other kinds of Femto cell base station to use LIPA to establish multimedia session with other IP capable entities in the same IP network by NAT. The method relays a LIPA request to IMS, determines whether the terminating entity residing in the same IP network or not, and determines if the originating and terminating entities are allowed to use LIPA, and modifies the transport address information accordingly to facilitate signaling and packet routing. The method also provides the capability to apply different charging policies for LIPA and non-LIPA usages. | 07-05-2012 |
20130149987 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AND ROUTING EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS - A determining and routing apparatus uses an emergency event pre-processor (EEPP) to decide a machine-based emergency event request and route a corresponding emergency message to at least one proper emergency reaction center (emRC). For each emergency event request from one or more signal sending devices, the EEPP decides the emergency event request, analyzes at least one machine-based emergency event service type set in a parameter in accordance with the request, selects at least one emRC to process the machine-based emergency event service type from one or more emRCs, and decides at least one routing path for transmitting the corresponding emergency message. At least one mapping lists maintain the mapping information between the machine-based emergency event service types and the emRCs. | 06-13-2013 |
