20090103467 | Synchronization and Macro Diversity for MCBCS - A method and system for multicast and broadcast system (MCBCS) synchronization and macro diversity is provided. In an embodiment, an MBS Proxy creates the necessary messages with synchronization rules embedded therein. The messages are provided to an MBS Distributed DPF and a base station, which performs a final PHY frame construction for transmission. In another embodiment, the MBS Proxy provides the necessary information to the base station and the base station creates the messages, including the synchronization rules. In yet another embodiment, the base station receives raw IP packet information and synchronization information. In this last embodiment, the base station creates the packets and frames based on the information provided to it. | 04-23-2009 |
20090131084 | Method and Apparatus for Efficient Paging Group Updates in a Wireless Communication System including Mobile Relay Stations - A wireless communications network includes a base station and a number of mobile relay stations. Each mobile relay station within an area of coverage for the base station has associated with it a unique paging group identification value as well as the paging group identification value of the base station. | 05-21-2009 |
20090185483 | Method and Apparatus for Transmitting Data and Error Recovery - A system and method for partitioning and transmitting a frame configuration in a wireless communication system is provided. A preferred embodiment comprises a method for determining a frame configuration in H-FDD systems where multiple time domain groups are supported is disclosed. Another embodiment provides a method for a base station for transmitting an indication of a frame configuration in H-FDD systems where multiple time domain groups are supported. Further, if the mobile stations enter into an error condition because they did not receive the frame configuration, an error recovery process may be utilized to self-recover from the error condition. | 07-23-2009 |
20090185526 | Method and Apparatus for a Dynamic Create/Change of Service Flows - A system and method for transmitting data is provided. A preferred embodiment comprises transmitting data by concatenating parameters for multiple service flows into a single transmission. Parameters associated with multiple service flows may be grouped together and other parameters that are not associated with multiple service flows are also preferably included within the same single transmission. | 07-23-2009 |
20090185534 | Method and Apparatus for Transmitting a Packet Header - A system and method for transmitting a reduced header is presented. A preferred embodiment comprises a base station defining a normal header and a reduced header, wherein the reduced header has a smaller number of bytes than the normal header. The base station then concatenates the reduced header with smaller sized payloads and concatenates the normal header with larger sized payloads. | 07-23-2009 |
20090185633 | Method and System for Specifying the Location of Data Bursts - A system and method for locating data subbursts in a data transmission is provided. A preferred embodiment comprises receiving data subbursts with different MCIDs at a mobile station. The mobile station also receives an indicator message which indicates the location of the data subbursts with MCIDs associated with the mobile station, and the mobile station selectively decodes the data subbursts with the MCIDs associated with the mobile station without decoding the remaining data subbursts. | 07-23-2009 |
20090213795 | Communication of Access Information in Wireless Communication System - System and method for providing wireless communications is provided. Communications are established between a mobile station and a base station, and the mobile station is provided a list of network providers that can be accessed via the base station. The list of network providers may include identifiers of the available network service providers or both identifiers and names of the available network service providers, and may be provided as a result of a broadcast message or in response to a request. The mobile station may further request the realm of a visited network service provider in order to properly decorate an EAP authentication information request. By transmitting a properly decorated EAP authentication request, the mobile station can determine the type of authentication to be performed and provide it to the visited network service provider. | 08-27-2009 |
20110111771 | Method and System for Location Update in Mobile Network - A system and method for performing a location update is disclosed. A preferred embodiment comprises transmitting a first location update transmission and receiving back a location update transmission response that is not simply an indication of success or failure. In an embodiment a redirection message is included in order to redirect the mobile station to another base station instead of simply telling the mobile station that the location update transmission has failed. | 05-12-2011 |
20110216738 | Method and System for Mobile Station Acquisition - A system and method for mobile station acquisition are presented. A preferred embodiment comprises a control message that contains additional information than would be found in a neighbor advertisement MAC management message. This control message contains enough information to allow the mobile station to locate, synchronize, and acquire service from a separate base station for a handoff process. | 09-08-2011 |
20120020303 | Method and Apparatus for a Dynamic Create/Change of Service Flows - A system and method for transmitting data is provided. A preferred embodiment comprises transmitting data by concatenating parameters for multiple service flows into a single transmission. Parameters associated with multiple service flows may be grouped together and other parameters that are not associated with multiple service flows are also preferably included within the same single transmission. | 01-26-2012 |
20130160081 | System and Method for Concurrent Address Allocation and Authentication - A method for coordinating network entry of a device includes authenticating the device coupled to the controller, and allocating an address for the device, wherein allocating the address for the device occur concurrently with but independently of authenticating the device. The method also includes completing the network entry of the device upon successful completion of authenticating the device and allocating the address for the device. | 06-20-2013 |
