Abstract: A method for transmitting control information to indicate a receiver, comprising following steps: the control information is formed at transmitting side and is encoded based on the working status of the transmitting side of the system; after the encoded control information is mapped, it is multiplexed with other pilot symbol and service load, then an OFDM symbol is generated; the OFDM symbol is transformed from frequency domain to time domain, then a time domain sampling signal is obtained and transmitted to the receiving side of the system; at the receiving side, the time domain sampling signal transmitted by the transmitting side is received and transformed from time domain to frequency domain to form OFDM symbol; the control information is obtained from the valid sub carrier of the OFDM symbol, and the control information is decoded; each work information is extracted form the decoded control information, and the receiving terminal is indicated to execute respective receive process based on the extracted w

Abstract: A method and network element for sending a transition indication to transition a user equipment to a different state or mode, the method receiving a configuration message from a network; and transmitting a transition indication from the user equipment, the transition indication only includes a cause if the configuration message contains an inhibit transition indication. Also, a method and user equipment for processing a transitioning indication from a user equipment indicating the user equipment desires a transition to a different state or mode, the method comprising: receiving the transition indication from the user equipment; if the transition indication contains a cause: releasing a signaling connection of the user equipment or transitioning the user equipment to a different state or mode; and if the transition indication does not contain the cause: releasing the signaling connection.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a chip comprises control circuitry to provide inband signals, inband output ports, and transmitters to transmit the inband signals to the inband output ports. The control circuitry selectively includes loopback initiating commands in the inband signals. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A digital broadcast transmitting/receiving system and a method for processing data are disclosed. The method for processing data may enhance the receiving performance of the receiving system by performing additional coding and multiplexing processes on the traffic information data and transmitting the processed data. Thus, robustness is provided to the traffic information data, thereby enabling the data to respond strongly against the channel environment which is always under constant and vast change.

Abstract: A method for estimating packet collisions within a wireless network, comprising: for each transmit packet an Access Point (AP) of the network records statistics transmission information; based on this statistical information the AP computes: Total number of slot times generated during this transmission, n; Total number of deferrals, m; and Total number of unsuccessful transmissions, Q s; and using a sequence (m,n,Q) of statistics for each access category (AC), the AP computes the probability of collision for unsuccessful packets, p.

Abstract: A network node self-retirement apparatus, system, and method is provided. The system includes a first network node, a second network node, and a plurality of network nodes. The first network node is configured to monitor a power and traffic level of the first network node and determine an operational weight based thereon. The first network node is further configured to compare the operational weight to a selected operational weight to determine a relationship between the operational weight and the selected operational weight. The first network node is further configured to execute a network node self-retirement procedure when the relationship satisfies a selected condition and to send the operational weight to at least one network node when the relationship does not satisfy the selected condition. The first network node may also determine a network topology based on operational weights received from other network nodes.

Abstract: A network diagnostic component that is placed in-line between two nodes in a network to reorder or compact a data frame to allow the network diagnostic component to interpret the data frame. The network diagnostic component receives a network data frame from the first node for communication with the second node. The network data frame may include a plurality of data units interspersed with one or more non-data units that interrupt the proximity and flow of the data units. The network diagnostic component then reorders the data frame by removing or moving at least some of the non-data units that are interspersed with the plurality of data units. The reordered network data frame may then be interpreted by other components of the network diagnostic component.

Abstract: Methods are provided for transmitting BCMCS in mobile broadband wireless cellular systems under development.

Abstract: A method and system for call admission and preemption in a network having an ingress node and an egress node defining an ingress/egress node pair, and one or more core nodes located in a path between the ingress node and the egress node and configured to mark packets exceeding an admission threshold. The method includes calculating a sustainable preemption rate based on a rate of traffic received at the egress node from the ingress node that passed through the one or more core nodes without being marked, and a ratio between a preemption threshold and the admission threshold. If a traffic load to the egress node is greater than the sustainable preemption rate, at least some traffic is dropped so that the traffic load does not exceed the sustainable preemption rate for the ingress/egress node pair.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving received signal strength data, computing an aggregate square error surface based on the received signal strength data, computing a probability surface by applying a probability density function to the aggregate error surface, and computing a mean location of a wireless node.
