  • Patent number: 8954084
    Abstract: A method and system in which a UMTS base station determines if any UE has re-acquired a common Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH) resource, and responsively transmits a indicator toward an RNC that is adapted to cause the RNC to recognize the beginning of a new transmission session so that the RNC may responsively perform appropriate actions such as flushing the TSN re-ordering queue, restarting a MAC-is re-ordering algorithm and the like.

  • Publication number: 20150016284
    Abstract: A wireless transmission control capability may be used to control downlink (DL) transmissions for a set of wireless user devices or for an individual wireless user device. A DL transmission control capability for a set of wireless user devices may include receiving DL channel operating parameter information associated with a set of cells, determining DL channel operating parameter distribution information based on the DL channel operating parameter information, and determining default DL channel operating parameter information for the set of cells based on the DL channel operating parameter distribution information and a target associated with the set of cells. A DL transmission control capability for an individual wireless user device may include determining radio link layer (RLL) retransmission information associated with a wireless user device and determining, based on the RLL retransmission information associated with the wireless user device, whether to modify an attribute of the wireless user device.

  • Publication number: 20140301223
    Abstract: The present subject matter discloses systems and methods for data transfer in communication networks. In one implementation, the method comprises determining a skew time based in part on a maximum skew time of the communication network and a probability of a data packet being delayed during transmission over the communication network. The method further includes detecting at least one missing data packet transmission and initiating retransmission of the at least one missing data packet after a time interval exceeding the determined skew time.

  • Publication number: 20140295498
    Abstract: Methods for amplifying a desired target region of a nucleic acid through rolling circle amplification with a strand-displacing polymerase are provided. Concatameric hairpin products are resolved with endonuclease digestion, and the resulting amplified product hairpins or fragments can be circularized and employed as templates in a subsequent round of amplification. The methods are effective for targeted amplification of even highly repetitive sequences. Compositions, kits, and systems related to or useful in the methods are also described.

  • Publication number: 20140155276
    Abstract: Compositions, methods and systems are provided for the isolation of polymerase-nucleic acid complexes. Complexes can be separated from free enzyme by using hook molecules to target single stranded regions on the nucleic acid. Hook oligonucleotides are used to capture polymerase nucleic acid complexes where the nucleic acids comprise circular nucleic acids having a double stranded central region with hairpin regions on each end. Methods for loading such complexes onto substrates and for single molecule sequencing of such complexes are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8658364
    Abstract: Compositions, methods and systems are provided for the isolation of polymerase-nucleic acid complexes. Complexes can be separated from free enzyme by using hook molecules to target single stranded regions on the nucleic acid. Active complexes can be isolated from mixtures having both active and inactive complexes by initiating nucleic acid synthesis so as to open up a portion of a double stranded region rendering that region single stranded. Hook molecules are targeted to bind the sequences that are thus exposed. The hook molecules bound to active polymerase-nucleic acid complex are isolated, and the active polymerase-nucleic acid complexes released.
