  • Patent number: 9912786
    Abstract: A demodulation section demodulates a received signal. A decoding section decodes an output from the demodulation section. A buffer temporarily stores a portion of the received signal. A header analyzing section gives the buffer timing at which demodulation and decoding of a payload of the received signal are initiated, on the basis of a result of combination of a plurality of header sequences included in a header of the received signal and results of processing of the demodulation section and the decoding section. An improved SNR is achieved by means of combination of the plurality of header sequences, so that an iterative decoding count used for decoding the header become smaller.

  • Patent number: 9642116
    Abstract: A method and system determines an absolute Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) configuration based on a threshold. First saved radio resources and first wasted radio resources are calculated. The absolute MBSFN configuration is set as the final MBSFN configuration when the first saved radio resources are greater than or equal to the first wasted radio resources. When untrue, the absolute MBSFN configuration plus an adjacent cell pool is set as the final MBSFN configuration based on the final MBSFN configuration achieving a maximum value of second saved radio resources minus second wasted radio resources. When both of these conditions are untrue, the absolute MBSFN configuration minus an MBSFN cell pool is set as the final MBSFN configuration based on the final MBSFN configuration achieving a maximum value of third saved radio resources minus third wasted radio resources.

  • Patent number: 9497494
    Abstract: The use of broadcast channels for television programming on a wireless telecommunications data network is optimized. Proxy servers at base stations receive more programming than can be broadcast by the base station. Programming then is queued for changes in broadcast content. Management servers coordinate the broadcasts across multiple sectors so that centralized control is possible. Management servers operate in conjunction with necessary gateways on the connectivity services network to route content to access service network. Quality of service (QoS) guarantees are actualized by centrally managing the broadcast of requested content from the proxy servers. Handoffs are possible from one area to another by coordinating the broadcasts across access service networks.

  • Patent number: 9420471
    Abstract: One of sequence groups each specifying reference signal sequences for respective radio resource bandwidths is assigned to a base station and a different one of the sequence groups is assigned to a neighboring cell. The base station includes a scheduler configured to allocate radio resources; a reporting unit configured to report the allocated radio resources and a cyclic shift amount to a mobile station; and a demodulating unit configured to demodulate a signal received from the mobile station based on one of the reference signal sequences corresponding to one of the radio resource bandwidths and the cyclic shift amount. Cell reuse is applied to the reference signal sequences to be transmitted using one resource unit, and sequence hopping where different ones of the reference signal sequences are assigned to consecutive subframes is applied to the reference signal sequences to be transmitted using a bandwidth greater than one resource unit.

  • Patent number: 9294946
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are disclosed that allow adaptive automatic detail diagnostic log collection for self-diagnosis and auto-recovery. In an embodiment, a group communication server determines that a fault has occurred with a group communication between wireless communication devices. The group communication server determines a set of events to log based on the fault, and instructs components that host the group communication to begin logging a set of events. Upon determining that logging the set of events can no longer be performed, such as due to too high of a load within a component of the group communication, the group communication server adapts the logging by logging a second set of events that will not cause too high a load, and can dynamically when resources become available.
