Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose a method for domain selection in a multimode UE. The domain selection method may be used to select domains for short message service (SMS) and/or voice service when the UE has camped on a packet switched (PS) network such as LTE. The proposed domain selection method may take into account UE capabilities, home operator preferences, visited operator preferences, visited network capabilities, and user settings.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for extending the scalability and improving the partitionability of networks that contain all-to-all links for transporting packet traffic from a source endpoint to a destination endpoint with low per-endpoint (per-server) cost and a small number of hops. An all-to-all wiring in the baseline topology is decomposed into smaller all-to-all components in which each smaller all-to-all connection is replaced with star topology by using global switches. Stacking multiple copies of the star topology baseline network creates a multi-planed switching topology for transporting packet traffic. Point-to-point unified stacking method using global switch wiring methods connects multiple planes of a baseline topology by using the global switches to create a large network size with a low number of hops, i.e., low network latency. Grouped unified stacking method increases the scalability (network size) of a stacked topology.

Compared to resource allocation and scheduling processing based on the traffic type in the prior art, the granularity of classification of the present disclosure is more refined, and can realize more refined resource allocation and scheduling processing, and can effectively improve the efficiency of scheduling processing.

Abstract: A wireless digital communication system includes a base station in communication with a plurality of user equipment mobile terminals (UEs). The system prioritizes the forwarding of blocks of downlink data to designated ones of the UEs. The system employs adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C) to achieve improved radio resource utilization and provides optimum data rates for user services. Blocks of downlink (DL) data are received by the base station which requests downlink (DL) channel quality measurements only from those mobile terminals (UEs) with pending downlink transmissions. The UEs respond to the request by measuring and reporting DL channel quality to the base station, which then allocates resources such that the UEs will make best use of radio resources. The base station notifies the UEs of the physical channel allocation indicating the modulation/coding rate and allocated slots followed by transmission of blocks of downlink data which are transmitted to the UEs.

Abstract: A voice signal encoding and decoding method, device, and codec system are provided. The coding method includes: encoding an input voice signal to obtain a broadband code stream, where the broadband code stream includes a core layer bit stream and an extension enhancement layer bit stream (101); compressing the core layer bit stream to obtain a compressed code stream (102); and packing the compressed code stream and the extension enhancement layer bit stream to obtain a packed code stream (103). The core layer bit stream is compressed, and the compressed code stream and the extension enhancement layer bit stream are packed, thereby reducing transmission bandwidth occupied by the input voice signal. Since the broadband voice encoding is performed on the input voice signal, a broadband voice code stream is transmitted by using narrowband transmission bandwidth, thereby improving the cost performance of voice signal transmission.

Abstract: A method and system configures a wireless communication device to support various radio frequency test modes. A controller determines whether an RF test cable is connected between test equipment and a test connector while a corresponding transceiver(s) is operating. In response to determining that the RF test cable is connected between test equipment and the test connector while the corresponding transceiver is operating, the controller provides an antenna tuner configuration(s) corresponding to the operating transceivers to support a test mode which, for example, can include any of a carrier aggregation (CA) test mode and a diversity transmission test mode. However, if the RF test cable is not connected between test equipment and the test connector while the corresponding transceiver(s) is operating, the controller determines an antenna tuner configuration corresponding to a normal/non-test device communication mode.
