  • Patent number: 9942808
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives, from a wireless access network node of a source cell, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message identifying a subframe containing information relating to an uplink grant to be sent by a target cell. The UE detects the uplink grant in the identified subframe transmitted by a target wireless access network node of the target cell. The UE sends, in response to the UE successfully accessing the target cell or detecting the information relating to the uplink grant, an RRC message to the target cell to handover from the source cell to the target cell.

  • Patent number: 9930676
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a receiving device (11) and a method performed by the receiving device (11) performed by a receiving device (11) for communicating in a wireless communication network (1). The receiving device 11 attempts to detect a scheduling assignment from a transmitting device (10) based on information regarding one or more radio resources previously used by the transmitting device (10) for transmitting data to the receiving device (11) within the wireless communication network (1). When not detecting the scheduling assignment from the transmitting device (10), the receiving device (11) assumes that a transmission of data from the transmitting device (10) is scheduled on the one or more radio resources previously used by the transmitting device (10). The receiving device communicates within the wireless communication network (1) based on the assumption.

  • Patent number: 9930605
    Abstract: A method of routing calls from a mobile unit to a destination location can include registering the mobile unit with a wireless adjunct, wherein the wireless adjunct is in communication with a switching unit and a packet based network and is operable to receive data from the switching unit and place the data, in packetized form, on the packet based network. The method can further include responding to a call setup request from the mobile unit and querying a subscriber database to determine if the mobile unit is a resident or a guest. If the mobile unit is a resident, communications data can be routed from the mobile unit through the switching unit to a first destination location. If the mobile unit is a guest, communications data can be routed from the mobile unit through an RF source to a second destination location.

  • Patent number: 9906330
    Abstract: Asynchronous Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) process identities are transmitted in a wireless communication system. A linking scheme is established between at least two sets of process identities of two respective corresponding codewords. When a first process identity is selected from among a first set of process identities of a first codeword, a second process identity may be derived in dependence upon the first process identity and the established linking scheme. Finally, a first packet from the first codeword is transmitted using a first transmission channel indicated by the first process identity, and a second packet is transmitted from the second codeword using a second transmission channel indicated by the second process identity. In addition, a control message including only the first process identity is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 9888083
    Abstract: A system, methods, nodes, and computer programs for transcribing of a communication session in a communication network are described. The communication network includes a control server for controlling the communication session, wherein the communication session is established between a user equipment and a remote end. The method includes that the control server receives a service indication indicating that a transcript of the communication session is requested and sends a transcription request for the communication session to a policy controller of the communication network. The policy controller determines at least one policy rule corresponding to the received transcription request and sends the determined at least one policy rule to a packet gateway node of the communication network. The packet gateway node provides, based on the at least one policy rule, a transcription or transcript chunk of at least one speech stream related to the communication session.

  • Patent number: 9882623
    Abstract: Dual-thread feedback for non-orthogonal channels used in wireless communications systems is described. A first feedback thread may employ transmission strategy (TS) independent feedback and a second feedback thread may employ TS dependent feedback. The first feedback thread may include channel feedback from channel measurements (e.g., channel gain, noise covariance, etc.) and may be fed back periodically. A TS space may be determined that includes combinable TSs for UEs that may be grouped for non-orthogonal techniques, and one or more TS sets may be sent to the UEs. UEs may determine channel quality and/or other channel state information (CSI) for the TSs and report CSI for one or more TSs of the TS sets in a second feedback thread. Scheduling may be performed for transmissions to the UEs based on the feedback in the first and/or second feedback threads.
