Abstract: A method and apparatus for measurement reporting and event-triggered periodic measurement reporting in an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) monitors cell-specific reference signals from a serving cell and neighbor cells to detect a reporting event defined for the E-UTRAN. Once a reporting event is detected, the WTRU sends a measurement report to the network. The measurement quantity may be a reference signal received quality (RSRQ). After detection of the reporting event, the WTRU may send event-triggered measurement reports periodically. The WTRU may send a scheduling request to the network for the event-triggered periodic measurement reports. The WTRU may send a termination indication if the event-triggered periodic measurement reports are terminated before a configured number of times. The WTRU may send an extension request if a specified number of periodic reporting has been sent but more reports still need to be sent.

Abstract: Systems and methods, including procedures, for managing wireless point-to-multipoint networks supporting dynamic topologies with relaying, multi-hop or wireless bridging. A topology management protocol is embedded in a wireless MAC layer in a multi-hop point-to-multipoint network, enabling self-organizing dynamic topology management by using link level information to make decisions for relaying data. The topology management protocol provides for a first node to establish primary and alternate associations with other nodes based on a hub path cost associated with each of the other nodes.

Abstract: A multi-session transfer method, a call control device, and a Service Continuity and Continuity Application Server are disclosed. In the embodiments of the present invention, in a multi-session cross-network transfer process, if a second session to be transferred includes video media, a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) server judges capabilities of a current network. If the current network is incapable of transmitting video media, the MSC server sends a request for transferring voice media of the second session to be transferred. The SCC AS receives the transfer request, and converts the second session to be transferred into voice session for transferring or releases the second session to be transferred, and therefore, the problem in the prior art of incapability of transferring the session is avoided, and the cross-network multi-session service transfer is improved.

Abstract: A circuit includes a processor to store a beacon timestamp generated from a wireless network. An output port controlled by the processor causes an interrupt that initiates a capture of a link layer timestamp relative to the beacon timestamp. An input port on the processor receives the link layer time stamp. A synchronizer captures a processor timestamp relative to the beacon timestamp and determines a time offset value relative to the received link layer time stamp by computing a difference between the processor timestamp and the link layer timestamp. The time offset value is combined with the processor timestamp to synchronize the processor with respect to the beacon timestamp.

Abstract: A method for measuring and reporting performance parameters in a network having at least one originator for generating test protocol data units, and multiple reflectors for relaying the test protocol data units along successive segments of a test path in the network.
