Publication number: 20170142025Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for resource reservation are disclosed herein. In an example, a first router may transmit, to a second router, a path message comprising an indication of resources to be reserved and a bidirectional direction indicator. On a condition that the indicated resources to be reserved are available to the second router, the first router may receive, from the second router, a reserve message, which may indicate that transmission resources have been allocated by the second router. On a condition that the indicated resources to be reserved are not available to the second router, first router may receive, from the second router, an error message, which may indicate that transmission resources have not been allocated. In a further example, the resources to be reserved may be resources associated with voice traffic, video traffic or both. Voice traffic may include multiple party communications involving three or more users.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2017Publication date: May 18, 2017Applicant: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Kamel M.

Patent number: 9560641Abstract: A wireless user equipment (UE) may include a reservation setup protocol (RSVP) message generator. The RSVP message generator may be configured to generate a RSVP message to a communication peer via a network that includes at least one router for reserving resources along a path. The RSVP PATH message may include a bi-directional direction indicator, an address of at least one router, and at least one of an indication of a peak data rate, token bucket rate, or maximum packet size. The message may provide an indication for reservation of bi-directional communication resources, wherein the bi-directional communication resources include resources in a direction from the device and in a direction toward the device. The UE may also include an RSVP message receiver configured to receive a refresh message, wherein the resources along the path are maintained upon receipt of the refresh message. The refresh message may be received periodically.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2015Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Kamel M Shaheen, Sharif M Shahrier

Patent number: 8792323Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting handover of mobile communications is provided. A router performs routing services in a service area. The router maintains a location table configured to store current router addresses of mobile nodes that have the router as a home router. The router receives data intended for mobile nodes that are listed in the location table and are in the routers service area. The router receives a user datagram protocol (UDP) message from a mobile node when it leaves the service area. The UDP message includes an IP address of a new router in the mobile node's new service area. The router updates the location table with the new IP address and transmits data intended for the mobile node to the new router until the data is redirected at the source.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2012Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Sharif M.

Publication number: 20120014351Abstract: A system and method for feature context transfer store all currently “active” feature contexts locally at an Access Router (AR), and store all “inactive” feature contexts centrally in a main database. The main database can be accessed by all the ARs within the same administrative domain. When a new microflow becomes active, its active feature contexts are brought from the main database and loaded into the local directory, thus replacing any inactive feature contexts that are not needed at the time.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: INTERDIGITAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Sharif M.

Patent number: 7720897Abstract: An apparatus and method for DFT processing using prime factor algorithm (PFA) on a selected number P of midamble chip values received by a CDMA receiver, where P has a plurality M of relatively prime factors F, and the DFT process is divided into M successive F-point DFT processes. The P data values are retrieved from a single input port memory and selectively permuted by a controller into parallel caches to optimize factoring with associated twiddle factors stored in parallel registers. The permuted inputs are factored in two or more parallel PFA circuits that comprise adders and multipliers arranged to accommodate any size F-point DFT. The outputs of the PFA circuits are processed by consolidation circuitry in preparation for output permutation of the values which are sent to memory for subsequent DFT cycles.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Ryan Samuel Buchert, Sharif M.

Patent number: 7573890Abstract: A system and method for supporting mobile Internet communication is provided which employs a plurality of Routers and a plurality of Mobile Nodes (MNs). Each Router has a unique communication address. Each MN is associated with a home Router. Each Router has an associated Mobile Node Location List identifying each MN for which the Router is the home Router and the communication address of a Router corresponding to a current location of each such MN. Each MN is movable from an old location where the MN communicates with the Internet via one Router to a current location where the MN communicates with the Internet via a different Router. Communication at the current location via the different Router is established by communicating to the MN's home Router the communication address of the different Router as the communication address corresponding to the MN's current location.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2006Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: InterDigital Technolgy CorporationInventors: Sharif M.

Patent number: 7400582Abstract: The invention relates to establishing a wireless packet session between at least two users. At least one of the users is a wireless user. A first of the at least two users sends a reservation setup protocol (RSVP) PATH message to a second user of the two users. The RSVP PATH message includes information for reserving resources for transmissions from only the first user to the second user; or from the first user to the second user and the second user to the first user, or only for transmissions from the second user to the first user. In response to receiving the RSVP PATH message, the second user transmits a RSVP reservation (RESV) message to the first user. Transmissions occur using the reserved resources.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2002Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Kamel M. Shaheen, Sharif M.

Patent number: 7317762Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for deinterleaving expanded interleaved data blocks, particularly for use in a wireless telecommunications system such as provided by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3G) standard. The data is processed on a sequential element basis where each element has a pre-determined number of bits M which bits are contained in a block of sequential data words W?. The elements are extracted from the block of words W? in sequential order, each element being extracted from either a single or two sequential interleaved words within the set of words W?. The elements are stored in selective location within a set of words W of a deinterleaver memory such that upon completion of the extraction and writing of all the elements, the words W from the deinterleaver memory can be sequentially read out to correspond to an original data block of bits from which the block of interleaved elements was created.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2005Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Interdigital Technology CorporationInventor: Sharif M.
