Publication number: 20130331111Abstract: A wireless mobile communication method is provided. If a wireless mobile communication service arrives at a core network, the core network sends a paging signal to at least one macro base station and at least one Femto gateway. After the macro base station receives the paging signal, the macro base station pages the at least one mobile station within the coverage of the macro base station. The Femto gateway blocks the paging signal sent from the core network, so that the at least one Femto base station covered by the Femto gateway does not page the mobile station. After a destination mobile station receives the paging signal, the destination mobile station establishes a signaling connection, so that a call to a destination mobile station is established.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2013Publication date: December 12, 2013Inventors: Huai-Lei FU, Phone Lin, Yi-Bing Lin, Ying-Rong Sung, Hsin-Hann Tsai

Patent number: 8488545Abstract: In a Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) a hybrid method combines SDMA (Space Division Multiple Access) and dynamic TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) that divides the roadway into regions (whose size is larger than the SDMA unit) where each region is allocated a pool of radio channels based on SDMA and may contain a limited number of vehicles. Vehicles within the same region compete for and access the channels using dynamic TDMA. A channel allocation scheme that maps the pool of channels to the regions such that when a vehicle acquires multiple channels (time slots) in a region, the intervals among the channels are as uniform as possible, thus minimizing the waiting time of the messages to be broadcast by the vehicle, which is critical for safety related applications. This solution is referred to as R-SDMA (Region based SDMA).Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2011Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Telcodia Applied Research Center Taiwan Co.Inventors: Chung-Min Chen, Yen-Cheng Lai, Wanjiun Liao, Phone Lin

Patent number: 7890983Abstract: A channel buffering method is for dynamically altering a number of channels for an Internet protocol television (IPTV). The method is applicable for a home gateway (HG) having a channel section used for channel buffering. After the HG has received two consecutive channel-switching requests, the HG compares whether the two requests are similarly directed to switching a channel towards the same direction or not; if yes, a cumulative switching frequency is set, and two trimming numerical values are set through the cumulative switching frequency, and thus, the channel section for buffering the channels can be dynamically adjusted through the two trimming numerical values.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2007Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Telcordia Applied Research Taiwan CompanyInventors: Chung-Min Chen, Phone Lin, Chen-Kai Hsieh, Yun-Yin Huang

Furthermore, the data transmission device enters a listening state for receiving the sensed data from the sensor device. If the data transmission device does not receive the message from any of the other data transmission device(s), will enter a reporting state for transmitting the sensed data and broadcasting the message. In addition, the data transmission device enters a sleeping state, if a reporting counter equals to zero. Therefore, the power wastage of the data transmission devices can be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2009Publication date: December 23, 2010Inventors: Ting-Yu WANG, Phone Lin, Huai-Lei Fu
