  • Method and system for enhanced parameter negotiation in EVDO communication systems
    Patent number: 8249035
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for enhanced parameter negotiation in Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO) communication systems that use Generic Configuration Protocol to negotiate session parameters or session attributes. The technique reduces the number of parameter negotiation cycles involved during the session configuration process. A new AlternateValueAllowed field is added in the attribute record. The Configuration Request message sent by the initiator allows the Configuration Response message responder to send the responder's preferred attribute value to the initiator, when the Configuration Request message does not contain the preferred attribute value of the responder. Such a modified attribute record structure obviates the need for multiple attribute negotiation cycles, and therefore saves session negotiation time.

  • Method and apparatus for integrating communication sessions supporting audio and video between entities
    Patent number: 8250222
    Abstract: A session integration method is provided for integrating a first session between a first entity and a third entity and a second session between a second entity and the third entity in a session-based service environment. The first entity receives a REFER message including dialog information from the second entity, and sends a response message to the received REFER message to the second entity. When header information included in the received REFER message indicates an INVITE message and the dialog information is related to the first entity, the first entity generates a Re-INVITE message and sends the generated Re-INVITE message to an address of a target which is subject to session integration. The address is included in the header information and corresponds to the third entity. The first entity updates the first session into an integrated session with the third entity.

  • Method of transmitting scheduling request in mobile communication system and terminal apparatus for the same
    Patent number: 8243660
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for transmitting an uplink scheduling request in a mobile communication system. A radio resource controlling node sets a priority for scheduling request retransmission, and cyclically notifies the priority in downlink. A terminal does not retransmit a scheduling request when the highest priority included in the scheduling request to be retransmitted is lower than the lowest priority for scheduling request retransmission. Alternatively, the radio resource controlling node sets scheduling request retransmission cycles (timers) according to priorities, and transmits the cycles in the downlink. The terminal does not retransmit a scheduling request before a cycle (timer) corresponding to the highest priority included in the scheduling request expires after the scheduling request is initially transmitted or retransmitted.

  • Method and system for dimensioning scheduling assignments in a communication system
    Patent number: 8238297
    Abstract: A system and method for performing Scheduling Assignments (SAs) for User Equipments (UEs) at a base station of a communication system by accounting for the different operating conditions UEs may experience or for the different data rates or data packet sizes UEs may require. This reduces a total size of SAs by introducing compact SAs, in addition to full SAs. For compact SAs, the range for the resource allocation or for the spectral efficiency of the signal transmission is restricted or some fields that exist in the full SA are eliminated without adversely impacting scheduling flexibility or system throughput. By reducing the total size of SAs through the use of compact SAs, the corresponding control signaling overhead is reduced, which improves system throughput, improves scheduling flexibility, or improves coverage.
