20130288729 | PROVISIONING RADIO RESOURCES IN A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK - A radio resource request in a radio access network (RAN) may be handled differently depending whether provision of the requested radio resource has been specified as optional (discretionary) or not optional (not discretionary). In the former case, the radio resource request may be discarded, rejected or delayed. In the latter case, the radio resource request may be accepted. In one embodiment, a running timer at a UE may indicate that a radio resource optionally to be provided was not provided by a RAN. When a subsequent request for the radio resource is accepted, the timer may be cleared. One or more UE applications may accordingly selectively subject user-plane data to be exchanged via the RAN, to a back-off delay scheme, to promoting acceptable responsiveness at UE applications that are, e.g. being actively used by a user. Radio resource requests may including RRC Connection Request and Cell Update messages. | 10-31-2013 |
20130295927 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR USE IN CONTROLLING WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER OPERATION IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A mobile device operates for communications via a first wireless network with use of a first transceiver. The device performs scanning operations with use of a second transceiver for identifying a set of cell IDs corresponding to a plurality of stations of one or more second wireless networks. The device stores the set of cell IDs in association with an ID of the first wireless network. While operating for communications with use of the second transceiver, the device maintains the first transceiver in a low power state. The device performs scanning operations with use of the second transceiver for identifying a current set of cell IDs, and compares the cell IDs of the current set with cell IDs of the stored set. The device maintains the first transceiver in the low power state or enables its operation based on the comparison. | 11-07-2013 |
20130310033 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A TARGET CELL IN A CELLULAR NETWORK - A method for detecting a target cell by a mobile device, the method comprising storing traversed paths of the mobile device, the stored traversed paths each comprising information to identify cells in a sequence of cells traversed by the mobile device referenced to the target cell, compiling information identifying cells traversed by the device in real time to produce current path information, comparing the current path information to the stored traversed paths and inferring from the comparison a relative proximity of the mobile device to the target cell and adapting a search for the target cell based on the relative proximity. | 11-21-2013 |
