Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a secure communication link is provided by selecting a decoy data signal vector for transmission, generating a MIMO precoding matrix from a message to be sent; and multiplying the decoy data signal vector by the MIMO precoding matrix to construct a precoded signal vector. The MIMO precoding matrix produces information-bearing synthesized channel distortions in the transmitted signal. An undistorted version of the decoy data may be transmitted to an intended receiver. The receiver distinguishes between the synthesized information-bearing channel distortions and natural channel distortions to decrypt the information, while an eavesdropper would find it difficult to distinguish between natural and synthesized channel distortions in the signals it receives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for last mile optimization for the transmission of real-time data. Pseudo-packets are sent to a last mile optimizer located at each of several ‘best’ servers. The last mile optimizers provide feedback regarding jitter, latency and packet loss of the pseudo-packets to determine quality of service for each of the servers. The server with the best quality of service is selected as the ‘single best’ server. A plurality of transporter algorithms may then be applied to pseudo-packets that are then sent to the single best server, and the quality of service for each transporter algorithm is subsequently measured for effectiveness. The transporter algorithms that are shown to be effective are combined together for the actual transmission of real-time data. Continuous monitoring of transmission quality allows for utilizing backup pathways upon detection of a problem, and negotiation of preferred transporter algorithms.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for supporting transmission of broadcast messages using multiple types of control channels. An example method begins with receiving (1110) a message from each of several user terminals, each message indicating whether the corresponding user terminal supports the receipt of broadcast messages via the second control channel type. In some embodiments, one or more of these messages may indicate that the corresponding user terminal monitors only the second control channel type for broadcast messages. The control node subsequently initiates (1120) a transmission of a broadcast message to one of the user terminals from one or more base stations in a tracking area for the user terminal. This initiation includes indicating to the one or more base stations whether user terminal supports the receipt of broadcast messages via the second control channel type, based on information earlier received by the control node.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a secure communication link is provided by selecting a decoy data signal for transmission, generating a precoding matrix from a message to be sent; and multiplying the decoy data signal by the precoding matrix to produce a precoded signal. A clean version of the decoy data may be transmitted to an intended receiver. The receiver can distinguish between the information-bearing precoding and the natural random channel distortions of the transmission medium to decrypt the information, while an eavesdropper would find it difficult to distinguish between the natural channel distortions and information-bearing precoding in the signals it receives.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to reduce power consumption in user equipment (UE) that operates in a connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode while in communication with wireless network are disclosed. A C-DRX warm-up period before the UE enters an on-duration is adjusted dynamically based on one or more factors including a time division duplex (TDD) uplink/downlink (UL/DL) subframe configuration, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values, and Doppler shift values. The C-DRX warm-up period is adapted based on the pattern of DL subframes in the UL/DL subframe configuration by including DL subframes that best contribute to channel estimation and adaptive tracking loops based on measured SNR and Doppler shift conditions. Favorable channel conditions, such as higher SNR and lower Doppler shift, can require fewer DL subframes and consequently shorter C-DRX warm-up periods. Higher Doppler shift values indicate more rapidly varying channel conditions and require DL subframes positioned closer to the start of the on-duration.
