Publication number: 20170374267Abstract: A camera detects devices, such as other cameras, smart devices, and access points, with which the camera may communicate. The camera may alternate between operating as a wireless station and a wireless access point. The camera may connect to and receive credentials from a device for another device to which it is not connected. In one embodiment, the camera is configured to operate as a wireless access point, and is configured to receive credentials from a smart device operating as a wireless station. The camera may then transfer the credentials to additional cameras, each configured to operate as wireless stations. The camera and additional cameras may connect to a smart device directly or indirectly (for instance, through an access point), and the smart device may change the camera mode of the cameras. The initial modes of the cameras may be preserved and restored by the smart device upon disconnection.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Richard T.

Publication number: 20170367089Abstract: In a wireless communication system comprising at least one evolved Node-B (eNB) and a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), a non-contention based (NCB) channel is established, maintained, and utilized. The NCB channel is allocated for use by one or more WTRUs in the system for utilization in a variety of functions, and the allocation is communicated to the WTRUs. The wireless communication system analyzes the allocation of the NCB channel as required, and the NCB channel is reallocated as required.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2017Publication date: December 21, 2017Applicant: Interdigital Technology CorporationInventors: Stephen E.

Publication number: 20150382317Abstract: A Node-B sends a polling message to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU sends an uplink synchronization burst in response to the polling message without contention. The Node-B estimates an uplink timing shift based on the synchronization burst and sends an uplink timing adjustment command to the WTRU. The WTRU then adjusts uplink timing based on the uplink timing adjustment command. Alternatively, the Node-B may send a scheduling message for uplink synchronization to the WTRU. The WTRU may send a synchronization burst based on the scheduling message. Alternatively, the WTRU may perform contention-based uplink synchronization after receiving a synchronization request from the Node-B. The WTRU may enter an idle state instead of performing a handover to a new cell when the WTRU moves to the new cell. A discontinuous reception (DRX) interval for the WTRU may be set based on activity of the WTRU.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2015Publication date: December 31, 2015Applicant: INTERDIGITAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Jin Wang, John S.

Patent number: 9167546Abstract: Providing discontinuous reception (DRX) is disclosed. In DRX mode a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may periodically wake up, in relation to a DRX interval, to check for a paging message. The WTRU may reenter the DRX mode if there is no paging message. The WTRU may receive another specified DRX interval, in connection with a broadcast message, based on the activity of the WTRU. The another DRX interval may be increased as inactivity of the WTRU increases.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: INTERDIGITAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Jin Wang, John S.
