Abstract: A method is provided for assisting measurement of a user equipment (UE). The method is performed by a serving cell for the UE. The serving cell determines whether a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) of the serving cell is to collide with a CRS of a second neighbor cell or whether a CRS of a first neighbor cell is not to collide with the CRS of the second neighbor cell, if the serving cell and the first neighbor cell correspond to aggressor cells to the second neighbor cell corresponding to a victim cell. The serving cell generates a second measurement subframe pattern based on an almost blank subframe (ABS) pattern in response to the determination, and transmits the second measurement subframe pattern for the first and second neighbor cells to the UE.

Abstract: A network information extracting system and method thereof are disclosed. A network message packet transmitted from a communications server is received by a router. The router includes a processor, a memory and a comparator. The processor disassembles the network message packet and extracts company information and a first message. The comparator compares the company information and a company list stored in the storage module. When the company information matches to one of the company lists, the first message is transmitted to a handheld device; when the company information does not match the list, a second message is added to the first message and transmitted to the handheld device.

Abstract: A system and method of Random-Access Response, RAR, messaging when a base station employs narrow beamforming. Multiple RAR messages are successively transmitted from the base station to a User Equipment, UE, before any response to a RAR message is received from the UE. Thus, despite any calibration mismatch between Uplink, UL, and Downlink, DL, beams in the beamformed system, a RAR message is not only received by the UE, but is received over the most-suitable DL beam for that UE. Each RAR message may contain a message-specific scheduling-delay indicator in the UL grant carried in the RAR message to provide an adjustable time delay for the UE's uplink transmission scheduled by the UL grant. Multiple RAR transmissions can schedule a single UL transmission at a specific time instance or different UL transmissions at different time intervals. The UE may report to the base station the best DL RAR transmission detected by the UE.

Abstract: Congestion control may be provided. A set of rules may allow a congestion control process to switch from delay-mode to loss-mode (e.g., in the presence of loss-based flows) and back to delay-mode (e.g., when loss-based flows stop). Fairness properties of this set of rules may include that the resulting flows may be fair to each other and the flows may also be fair when competing with loss-based flows. Many flows that may be deadlocked in loss-mode (e.g., in the absence of other genuine loss-based flows) may be helped to switch back to delay-mode.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided in order to provide for efficient selection of a router (206, 208) for providing network services in an infinite link network. A mobile terminal (202) may identify nearby routers (206, 208) using link layer distance metrics in order to select an optimal router. The link layer distance metrics may provide a number of “hops” or other measure of physical distance between the mobile terminal (202) and the router (206, 208) in order to route packets to a router that is physically closest to the mobile terminal, which may result in a minimized number of relays for a packet transmitted from the terminal to the router, and vice-versa.

Abstract: Communication operations are optimally conducted by applying space-division multiple access in which wireless resources on a spatial axis are shared among a plurality of users. By applying an RD protocol to a communication system that conducts space-division multiple access, spatially multiplexed frames in a TXOP are made more efficient. By specifying a frame length for reverse direction frames with reverse direction permission information and having respective transmitters of reverse direction frames make their frame lengths uniform while respecting the specification, AGC operation stabilizes. Also, a transmit start time for reverse direction frames can be specified by reverse direction permission information, and respective transmitters of reverse direction frames can transmit frames at the same time while respecting the specification.

When a sounding reference symbol (SRS) transmission overlaps with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission in a time domain, the communication apparatus checks as to whether a total of a PUCCH transmission power for the PUCCH transmission on a first component carrier and a SRS transmission power for the SRS transmission on a second component carrier exceeds a maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus. The SRS transmission is dropped by the communication apparatus if the total of the PUCCH transmission power and the SRS transmission power exceeds the maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus.

The ICM may provide multi-gig data transmission through a first plurality of pins comprising a multi-gig data pin area. Furthermore, the ICM may provide UPoE power to support the multi-gig transmission through a second plurality of pins comprising a UPoE power pin area.

Abstract: A content delivery system and method that receives a request for a content stream that includes splice points. The method receives a playlist that includes an ordered list of media segment files that represent the content stream, and splice point tags, where generation of the media segment files aligns segment boundaries with the splice points in the content stream, and where each splice point tag is in a location in the playlist that corresponds to the position of one of the splice points in the content stream. The method identifies an insertion position in the playlist based on the location of the splice point tags, selects an advertisement segment, inserts the advertisement segment at the insertion position to create a modified playlist, removes the splice point tags from the modified playlist, and sends the modified playlist to the video display device.
