  • Patent number: 9615113
    Abstract: A device receives, from a content provider, traffic parameters associated with a video content request received from a fixed user device connected to a wireless access network, and determines, based on the traffic parameters, a trigger for creating a dedicated bearer for the fixed user device in the wireless access network. The device also provides the trigger to the wireless access network, where the wireless access network creates the dedicated bearer for the fixed user device based on the trigger, and the wireless access network assigns quality of service (QoS) parameters, based on the traffic parameters, to video content delivered to the fixed user device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6996762
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, the information is transmitted in symbols encoded at a source to a destination. A log likelihood ratio is respectively calculated for each of the encoded symbols. The calculated log likelihood ratios for the information bits are accumulated where the contribution from each of the encoded symbols is accounted for in the accumulating step. Each of the information bits is decoded according to the accumulated log likelihood ratios. An acknowledgment (ACK) is sent to the source for each block of the decoded information bits that passed the error check. A negative acknowledgment (NACK) is sent to the source for each block of the decoded information bits that did not pass the error check. After the source receives the negative acknowledgment (NACK), the encoded symbols are retransmitted to the destination.

  • Publication number: 20050190852
    Abstract: A method of communicating at least one data burst using an assigned radio configuration. The assigned radio configuration is chosen from one of at least two radio configurations by examining which radio configuration supports a higher data transmission rate. This examination is determined by calculating the data transmission rate for the data burst(s) base on a power level and Walsh code for each of the radio configurations.
