Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, responsive to a determination that a first communication session is in a first state and a first sub-state, monitoring for an active timer associated with the first sub-state, where the first state and the first sub-state are defined by a communications protocol. The system can, responsive to a detection of the active timer, monitor for a packet switching service initiation request generated by the applications processor. The system can, responsive to detecting the packet switching service initiation request, temporarily prevent the packet switching service initiation request from being transmitted by the transceiver. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Error information is sent from a terminal adaptor that accesses a wireless network to terminal equipment coupled to access the wireless network through the terminal adaptor. The error information is sent in response to existence of any one of a plurality of errors conditions with respect to access to the wireless network. The error information includes an error type identifying a domain associated with a source of the error condition being reported and an error code providing a reject error cause for the error condition. One of the error conditions may include an unsolicited error received by the terminal adaptor from the wireless network or when a request by the TA is ignored by the wireless network.

Abstract: A method that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, setting a timer to a time period according to sensing of a fallback event, where routing of network communication to a service provider network is switched from a first radio access technology to a second radio access technology, detecting an expiration of the time period at timer, enabling registration according to the detecting both the expiration of the time period and detecting a data service access request at a user interface, and sending a registration request to rejoin the first radio access technology according to the enabling of registration. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, accessing configuration information, monitoring for radio resource control connection requests being transmitted from the wireless communication device to a first server of a first cell of a network, determining whether failed radio resource control connection requests satisfy a cell barring threshold based on the monitoring and based on the configuration information, and responsive to a determination that the cell barring threshold has been satisfied, causing the wireless communication device to perform cell selection for a second cell of the network and to perform cell barring of the first cell. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a basic function unit of voltage source converter, which is characterized in that the basic function unit includes a switching device function module, a by-pass function module, a switch protection function module, a secondary control and protection function module, and a energy storage unit. The secondary control and protection function module, the energy storage unit and the by-pass function module are all fixed on the motherboard, there is a slide rail at the bottom of the motherboard, the motherboard can move back and forth on the slide rail. The voltage source converter based on that unit is highly modular, insensitive to switch device parameters, lower output voltage change rate, and smaller dv/dt stress of equipment, smaller noise, without filter, convenient installation and maintenance.

Abstract: A “Blur Remover” provides various techniques for constructing deblurred images from a sequence of motion-blurred images such as a video sequence of a scene. Significantly, this deblurring is accomplished without requiring specialized side information or camera setups. In fact, the Blur Remover receives sequential images, such as a typical video stream captured using conventional digital video capture devices, and directly processes those images to generate or construct deblurred images for use in a variety of applications. No other input beyond the video stream is required for a variety of the embodiments enabled by the Blur Remover. More specifically, the Blur Remover uses joint global motion estimation and multi-frame deblurring with optional automatic video “duty cycle” estimation to construct deblurred images from video sequences for use in a variety of applications. Further, the automatically estimated video duty cycle is also separately usable in a variety of applications.

Abstract: A system for efficiently transmitting requests for data access from a wireless communications device to a radio access network. Requests for data access may be aggregated to more efficiently use radio resources. Aggregated requests may not be transmitted until a total number of requests or size of aggregated requests exceeds a threshold. Regardless of aggregation, requests may be stored until a timer expires, and then transmitted to the radio access network. Request priority, environmental data, and device data may be taken into account in determining when to transmit requests for data access.
