Abstract: Automatic retransmission in communications systems. In one embodiment, a portion of data is identified to be retransmitted based on feedback information indicating a negative acknowledgement (NACK) during a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) on a previous transmission of the portion of data. A retransmission mode is selected for the portion of data, from at least a first mode that retransmits the portion of data on at least a first transmitter antenna while transmitting new data on at least a second transmitter antenna, based on first desired transmission characteristics; and a second mode that retransmits the portion of data simultaneously on at least the first and second transmitter antennas, based on second desired transmission characteristics.

Abstract: A method for ensuring media stream security in an IP Multimedia Subsystem network is disclosed. The method includes: assigning an end-to-end media stream security key for a calling User Equipment (UE) or a called UE, by a network device with which the calling UE or the called UE is registered, respectively, and transmitting the media stream security key to a network device with which the opposite end is registered; encrypting the end-to-end media stream security key using a session key shared with the calling UE or the called UE respectively, and transmitting the encrypted end-to-end media stream security key to the calling UE or the called UE, respectively, via a session message; encrypting or decrypting a media stream, by the calling UE or the called UE, respectively, using the end-to-end media stream security key.

Abstract: Methods, computer code products and systems for authenticating user equipment for access to a trusted network can include receiving a user identity uniquely identifying the user equipment. A proxying entity in the trusted network can generate a network-trusted header including the user identity and forward it to a serving entity in the network. The serving entity performs verification on the received carrier header and can compare the user identity with a list of approved user IDs and if a match is found, the user equipment can be authenticated for access to the network. IBCF that performs optional hiding for the proxying entity toward the Home IMS network can extract the proxying entity-generated parameter out of the encrypted token making it readable to the serving entity if it is encrypted in the carrier header. The proxying entity can also provide verification of the utilized header when processing the registration request from the user equipment.

Abstract: Automatic retransmission in communications systems. An embodiment includes retransmitting data. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is executed on a portion of data received as part of a data stream at a receiver antenna. Feedback information of acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the portion of data is determined based on a result of the CRC. It is identified that the portion of data is to be retransmitted based on the feedback information indicating a NACK with respect to the portion of data. A retransmission mode is selected for the portion of data based on desired characteristics of the data stream, including a first mode that retransmits the portion of data on at least a first transmitter antenna while transmitting new data on at least a second transmitter antenna; and a second mode that retransmits the portion of data simultaneously on at least the first and second transmitter antennas.

Abstract: An automatic retransmission request control system in an OFDM-MIMO communication system includes a retransmission mode selection part which selects a retransmission mode from among (a) a mode in which to transmit the data which are to be retransmitted, via the same antenna as in the previous transmission, while transmitting, at the same time, new data by use of an antenna via which no data retransmission is requested; (b) a mode in which to transmit the data, which are to be retransmitted, via an antenna via which no retransmission is requested, while transmitting new data via another antenna at the same time; (c) a mode in which to use STBC to retransmit the data via an antenna via which no retransmission is requested; and (d) a mode in which to use STBC to retransmit the data via all the available antennas.
