Abstract: A communication system is described. The system includes: at least one gateway able to provide broadband connectivity, a set of ground terminals, and a set of aerial platforms, where at least one aerial platform is able to communicate with at least one gateway using radio frequencies, each aerial platform is able to communicate with ground terminals using radio frequencies, and each aerial platform is able to communicate with each other aerial platform using radio frequencies. An automated method for determining a beam direction for communication among UAVs includes: dividing a space around the UAV into multiple sub-regions, and, iteratively: selecting a sub-region from among the multiple sub-regions; pointing a signal toward the sub-region; and determining whether a signal is received from another UAV, until all sub-regions from among the multiple sub-regions have been selected.

Abstract: A receiver receives a first data stream and a second data stream from a transmitting device over a packet-based communication network, the first data stream being of a first media type (e.g. audio) and the second data stream being of a second media type (e.g. video). The first jitter buffer will buffer each of a plurality of portions of the first data stream as they are received via the receiver, and apply a de-jittering delay before outputting each portion of the first data stream (e.g. audio stream) to be played out through the receiving device. The jitter buffer controller receives information on the second data stream (e.g. video stream), and adapts the de-jittering delay of the first jitter buffer (e.g. audio jitter buffer) in dependence on the information on the second data stream (e.g. information on the video stream).

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically adjusting Discontinuous Reception (DRX) settings of user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The method dynamically adjusts DRX settings based on network operator provided service or location of the UE and converged services supported by the network and so on. The UE indicates the network for adjusting DRX settings when DRX settings needs to be changed based on above parameters. Further, the wireless network provides the DRX settings to UE based on parameters. The method provides subscription information of the UE to access network. The method dynamically adjusts the DRX settings when the UE is in a Femtocell area or the UE associated with features like One Number. The UE can initiate a inter UE session transfer to the other UEs. The UE indicates the network that the sessions have been transferred. The network applies possible signaling optimizations to the UE.

Abstract: A congestion management protocol that can be used for small messages in which the last-hop switch determines the congestion of the end point. The last-hop switch drops messages when the end point is congested and schedules a retransmission. A second congestion management protocol transmits small messages in a speculative mode to avoid the overhead caused by reservation handshakes.

Abstract: Logic may allocate time slots in a schedule with consideration of thermal dissipation capacities of non-PCP devices. Logic may determine the failure to use a full time slot allocation by a non-PCP device when the non-PCP device has more data to transmit. Logic may determine an adjustment for a schedule based upon duty cycle information provided by a non-PCP device. Logic may receive an indication of a duty cycle. Logic may determine an adjustment to a schedule based upon entrance of the non-PCP device into a power save mode during an incomplete communication with time remaining in the allocated time slot. Logic may determine a duty cycle based upon a thermal measurement. Logic may request a reduced duty cycle based upon a risk of reaching an overheat limit for a non-PCP device. And logic may request an increase in the duty cycle in response to favorable thermal characteristics.
