Patent number: 10321489Abstract: In a wireless communication system, user equipment (UE) has autonomy provided by one or more set of rules to handle processing during a measurement gap. UE can ignore or use only a portion of the whole measurement gap if not needed. Thereby, an urgent need for remaining tuned to source carrier frequency can be supported, such as utilizing Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure. UE can also choose to tune to a target carrier frequency supporting timely handovers. Depending on the type of processing required (download shared channel (DL-SCH, UL-SCH, TTI bundling, RACH or SR), the UE may store requests and process the measurements during the gap or ignore the gap measurement as if there were no gaps.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorportedInventors: Masato Kitazoe, Nathan Edward Tenny, Arnaud Meylan

Patent number: 10021419Abstract: Techniques are described for initializing a Rice parameter used to define codes for coefficient level coding. According to the techniques, the initial value of the Rice parameter is determined for a coefficient group (CG) in a transform block of video data based on statistics of coefficient levels that are gathered for previously coded coefficients of the video data. The statistics may be statistics of absolute values of coefficient levels or remaining absolute values of coefficient levels of previously coded coefficients. A value of the statistics may be initialized to zero at a beginning of a video slice and updated based on coefficient levels coded in each CG of the slice. The statistics may be updated once per CG. In some cases, statistics may be gathered separately for each of a plurality of different categories of CGs that are defined based on characteristics of transform blocks that include the CGs.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2014Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorportedInventors: Marta Karczewicz, Joel Sole Rojals, Rajan Laxman Joshi, Liwei Guo

Patent number: 9118619Abstract: To inhibit cross-site forgery attacks, different types/classes of cookies are used. A first cookie and a second cookie are generated by a web server and provided to a client browser during a web session. The first cookie defines a first set of use conditions for when the first cookie is to be used within the web session. The second cookie defines a second set of use conditions for when the second cookie is to be used within the web session. The client browser determines which (if any) of the first cookie or second cookie to send to the web server based on the use conditions defined within each cookie and the operation(s) sought by the client browser. The web server may grant different or the same privileges to operation(s) being sought by the client browser depending on whether the first or second cookie is sent by the client browser.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2012Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorportedInventors: Alexander Gantman, Arun Balakrishnan, Gregory Gordon Rose

Publication number: 20140204881Abstract: Systems and methods for frequency reuse on downlink control channels (DLCCs) are provided. One method can include determining a first number of symbols to support transmission of control information on a DLCC, and configuring a second number of symbols for transmission of the control information on the DLCC, wherein the second number of symbols is greater than the first number of symbols. The method can also include assigning a number of DLCCs based on the second number of symbols, and transmitting control information over an assigned number of DLCCs to achieve an effective reuse factor less than one. Another method can include identifying fractions of bandwidth in a system having cells, and allocating at least one of the cells to at least one of the fractions of bandwidth in a system. Resource element groups allocated to the fractions of bandwidth can be coordinated across cells to provide frequency reuse.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorportedInventors: Juan Montojo, Wanshi Chen, Aleksandar Damnjanovic

Publication number: 20140172945Abstract: In an embodiment, a client device transmits a request for an initial web page to a proxy server. The proxy server requests the initial web page on behalf of the client device in response to the client device's request. The proxy server then executes a web page redirection procedure that is independent of interaction with the client device and results in the proxy server obtaining web page content. The proxy server delivers the web page content to a proxy client application on the client device along with instructions for simulating, on the client device, the web page redirection procedure between the proxy client application and a mobile web browser on the client device. The proxy client application on the client device then simulates the web page redirection procedure that occurred at the proxy server as instructed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: Qualcomm IncorportedInventors: Joshua HERSHBERG, Gabriel BERELEJIS, Eitan MIZROTSKY

Patent number: 8548105Abstract: Techniques for performing joint time-frequency automatic gain control (AGC) by a receiver are described. In an aspect, the receiver may transform time-domain samples with a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to obtain frequency-domain symbols and may detect for saturation of the frequency-domain symbols. The receiver may adjust a gain based on whether saturation is detected and may apply the gain prior to the FFT. In one design, the receiver may use a nominal value for a setpoint if saturation is not detected and may reduce the setpoint if saturation is detected. The receiver may adjust the gain based on the setpoint, which may determine the average power of the time-domain samples. In another design, the receiver may determine the gain based on a gain offset and may vary the gain offset based on whether saturation is detected. For both designs, the receiver may apply the gain on digital samples and/or an analog signal prior to the FFT.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2009Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorportedInventor: Roberto Rimini

Patent number: 8520607Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate transmitting and receiving control data according to hopping patterns where the hopping patterns are defined based in part on bandwidth capabilities of a device transmitting the control data and bandwidth of the network on which the data is being transmitted. In this regard, devices having lower bandwidth capabilities than the network can hop within given frequency blocks reserved for control data assuming the blocks are no greater than the bandwidth of the device. Devices having greater or substantially equal bandwidth capabilities as the network can hop across disparate frequency blocks of the network reserved for control data as the device can handle substantially any hop in frequency. This preserves frequency diversity for control channels in multiple device types regardless of device bandwidth capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2008Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Qualcomm IncorportedInventor: Durga Prasad Malladi
