Abstract: An IP multimedia gateway (IMG) determines device capabilities and proposed service priority profiles of communicatively coupled client devices. The determined device capabilities and proposed service priority profiles are transmitted to service managers for service scheduling. Device capabilities of the communicatively coupled client devices are configured or prioritized based on available actual service priority profiles from the service managers. The configured device capabilities are transmitted to the service managers for subsequent service scheduling. Services provided by the service managers are announced based on the available actual service priority profiles. The IMG communicates content for the announced services between the communicatively coupled client devices and the service managers. The IMG may allow the user of a client device to access desired content via other client devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses, methods and computer program instructions which receive or detect an in-device coexistence interference condition change in a user equipment equipped with a plurality of transceivers, send an indication of the in-device coexistence interference condition change to an access point and receive a media access control element configured for muting/unmuting at least one of a plurality of transceivers from the access point.

Abstract: In a communications network with carrier aggregation (CA), embodiments enable the network to advertise to a supported wireless device not only whether or not aggregated component carriers allocated to the wireless are intra-band adjacent but further whether or not the allocated component carriers are collocated. Embodiments further enable the wireless to advertise its CA capabilities including the support of adjacent collocated CA and/or non-adjacent collocated CA. Embodiments thus provide systems/methods for the exploitation of special conditions provided by adjacent collocated component carriers to reduce processing complexity and power consumption for certain types of wireless device transmitter/receiver architectures and to support intra-band adjacent CA for other types of UE transmitter/receiver architectures.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for improving the beamforming efficiency of Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) and/or Coordinate Beamforming (CB) in wireless multi-access networks. In one aspect, a receiver-aided approach for MU-MIMO and/or CB is provided. Unlike conventional MU-MIMO/CB operation which is transparent to the UE, the receiver-aided approach herein makes information about potential MU-MIMO and/or CB multi-user interference available to UEs being considered for MU-MIMO and/or CB transmission. As such, the UEs can provide Channel State Information (CSI) that is better tailored to actual data transmission conditions than in conventional operation, and the base station can make better decisions regarding MU-MIMO and/or CB operation, user selection, and transmission parameters (e.g., number of data streams, precoder matrix, etc.).

Abstract: Transceiver architecture includes circuitry and a method to transmit and receive high speed WAP data over lower speed cabling such as Cat5e. The method begins by measuring quality of a wired bi-directional communications channel. The method continues by selecting a maximum possible data transmission rate over the wired bi-directional communications channel for the measured quality level and when the maximum possible data transmission rate is a reduced data transmission rate less than a maximum data transmission rate of the transceivers, proportionally adjusting clock rates of circuit elements of the first and second transceiver to transfer the data at the reduced data transmission rate. The method includes dividing data frames of the data to be transmitted N times, where N=number of layers of at least a portion of identical transceiver processing circuitry which is connected to twisted wiring pairs of the wired bi-directional communications channel.

Abstract: Because of associated disadvantages of narrow-band off-chip radio-frequency (RF) filtering, a mixer-first receiver front-end designed to tolerate blockers with reduced gain compression and noise factor degradation is disclosed.

The mixer-first receiver front-end can be used to support down-conversion of multiple different communication signals (e.g., cellular, WLAN, and WPAN communication) with different center frequencies.

The operation of multiplication is closed but not commutative or associative, and has a multiplicative inverse but not a multiplicative identity for all elements in the finite set. The two operations of addition and multiplication may be related by the distributive property.

Abstract: A wireless communication device communicating with a serving base station in a wireless communication environment may have one or more applications running. When seeking to handover from the serving base station to a target base station, the wireless communication device adjusts the configurations of the applications based on the new communication link properties. Likewise, when an application is loaded that prefers communication link properties that exceeds a current communication link's capabilities, the wireless communication device may seek out and hand over to other communication links. By cooperatively coordinating the functionality of installed applications with communication link properties, the wireless communication device can maintain high levels of device and application functionality.
