Abstract: A method of polling in a wireless communications system includes prohibiting polling within a predetermined period and triggering a poll function while polling is prohibited. After the predetermined period has expired the method determines that there are no protocol data units (PDUs) scheduled for transmission or re-transmission and that the poll function was triggered by a “window-based” trigger, and selects a PDU to schedule for re-transmission to fulfill the poll function.

Abstract: A method for improving discontinuous reception for a user equipment of a wireless communication system includes separately managing retransmission reception time limits of a plurality of downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (DL HARQ) processes when the discontinuous reception is used in the plurality of DL HARQ processes.

In one embodiment, a substantially rigid thin-sheet panel assembly having a non-rigid thin-sheet component includes the thin-sheet component which has selected plan area and shape, a backer having a plan shape and area substantially similar to the thin-sheet component, and plural riser elements of selected height and configuration each extending from the backer to distal ends connected to a reverse surface of the thin-sheet component, the riser elements being configured and disposed in an array which causes the assembly to have substantial rigidity in a selected direction in the thin-sheet component.

Abstract: A method for determining a dedicate searching space (DSS) in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of indicating the UE to monitor a semi-persistent scheduling cell radio network temporary identifier (SPS C-RNTI) in the PDCCH for receiving a semi-persistent scheduling grant, and determining the DSS utilized for monitoring the SPS C-RNTI according to a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of the UE.

Abstract: A method for handling a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) bundling mode in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of switching an operation status of the TTI bundling mode; and flushing all uplink Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) buffers in the UE when the operation status of the TTI bundling mode is switched.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to devices for the real-time tracking of one or more substantially planar geometrical objects of a real scene in at least two images of a video stream for an augmented-reality application. After receiving a first image of the video stream (300), the first image including the object to be tracked, the position and orientation of the object in the first image are determined from a plurality of previously determined image blocks (320), each image block of said plurality of image blocks being associated with an exposure of the object to be tracked. The first image and the position and the orientation of the object to be tracked in the first image define a key image. After receiving a second image from the video stream, the position and orientation of the object to be tracked in the second image are evaluated from the key image (300). The second image and the corresponding position and orientation of the object to be tracked can be stored as a key image.

Abstract: A communications device utilized in a wireless communications system has an RLC entity with a transmitting side and a receiving side. Handling timers during reestablishment of the transmitting side includes only reestablishing the transmitting side in the RLC entity of the communications device, stopping a first timer corresponding to the transmitting side, and prolonging and not stopping a second timer corresponding to the transmitting side. The second timer is not a periodic timer.

Abstract: A method for improving discontinuous reception (DRX) functionality for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of starting a DRX Retransmission Timer to monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH); and stopping the DRX Retransmission Timer when a downlink transmission for a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) process is indicated by the monitored PDCCH no matter whether the downlink transmission is successfully decoded.

Abstract: A method for enhancing receiving efficiency of a multimedia broadcast multicast service, know as MBMS, in a wireless communications system includes setting an indicator for indicating whether an MBMS service is transmitted on an MBSFN, an abbreviation of MBMS over a Single Frequency Network, carrier or not, and sending the indicator to a user equipment of the wireless communications system.

Abstract: A method for improving transmission time interval bundling transmission in a wireless communication system includes transmitting a first bundle at a first time point, and transmitting a second bundle at a second time point behind the first time point, wherein the second time point is located in a bundle round trip time of the first bundle, and the bundle round trip time is a specific multiple of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Round Trip Time.

Abstract: A method of transmitting paging information for a network terminal of a wireless communications system including initiating a dedicated paging procedure to transmit dedicated paging information to a user equipment using a high speed downlink operation in a CELL_PCH state. The high speed downlink operation includes reception of a high speed downlink shared channel.

Abstract: A method of improving Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request operation for a user equipment operating in HS-SCCH less operation in a wireless communications system includes receiving a retransmission data in an HARQ procedure, determining a decoding result of data stored in a first soft buffer, combining the retransmission data with the data stored in the first soft buffer for generating a combined data when the UE determines that the data stored in the first soft buffer has not been successfully decoded, and performing a decoding process on the combined data and a store process corresponding to a second soft buffer. The first soft buffer is obtained by a first rule and the second soft buffer is obtained by a second rule.

Abstract: A method for enhancing transmission efficiency in a wireless communications system includes a first protocol entity of the wireless communications system always performing a duplication avoidance and reordering, called DAR hereinafter, function on a logic channel, without referring to a configuration of the DAR function by an upper-layer protocol entity.

Abstract: A system and method for effectively distributing revenues generated from delivering specific healthcare advertisements and non health-care specific advertisements over electronic medical record systems (EMR) and a regional healthcare information network (RHIN) using an electronic advertising server in a manner compliant with HIPAA and Federal Anti-Kickback laws.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for handling scheduling information report in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system. The method includes steps of triggering a Buffer Status Report (BSR), which is a Regular BSR, and a Power Headroom Report (PHR); and performing resource allocation when having uplink resource allocated for new transmission, wherein resource allocation priority of a MAC control element of the BSR is higher than that of the PHR.

Abstract: In order to avoid system malfunction, the present invention provides a method for improving Discontinuous Downlink Reception (DRX) operation for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications system. The method includes stopping a timer when the UE allocated with a dedicated HS-DSCH Radio Network Temporary Identifier (H-RNTI) moves from a CELL_PCH state to a CELL_FACH state due to an uplink data transmission, wherein the timer is started when the UE enters the CELL_PCH state and is utilized for determining a time length for using a first DRX cycle.
