  • Patent number: 9743356
    Abstract: A method is provided for supporting state mode transition by an entity of a cellular network in case that a plurality of networks interwork. When a value of interference caused by a neighbor entity of a wireless local area network (WLAN) is equal to or larger than a predefined threshold value, a first message instructing another entity of the WLAN to perform a mode transition from an active mode to an idle mode is transmitted to another entity of the WLAN. In response, a second message including information indicating whether status of the mode transition of the another entity of the WLAN is successful is received from the another entity of the WLAN. When the information indicates that the status of the mode transition of the another entity of the WLAN is successful, status information of the another entity of the WLAN is updated based on the second message.

  • Patent number: 9717113
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling discontinuous reception (DRX) in a mobile device in a wireless communications network uses autonomous DRX control after initial VoIP traffic setup. If the mobile device transmits a negative-acknowledgement signal (NACK) indicating unsuccessful receipt of a VoIP packet, then it autonomously turns on a predetermined delay time later to receive the retransmission of the VoIP packet. The predetermined delay time is related to the time for the base station to process the NACK and prepare the VoIP packet for retransmission. When the mobile device transmits or retransmits a VoIP packet, reception is deactivated, but is autonomously activated the predetermined delay time later to receive an acknowledgement signal (ACK) or NACK. VoIP packets may be transmitted from the mobile device the predetermined delay time before VoIP packets are transmitted from the base station.
