Patent number: 8929223Abstract: In a system to control a VoIP service, a user terminal performs a first registration procedure of a CSCF through a first P-CSCF using a first mobile IP allocated from a wireless LAN, monitors a signal intensity of the wireless LAN while receiving the VoIP service over the wireless LAN, and performs a second registration procedure through a second P-CSCF using a second mobile IP allocated from a wireless packet network upon booting if the signal intensity of the wireless LAN becomes weaker than a reference value. The CSCF sends a VoIP call to the second P-CSCF if the user terminal performs the second registration procedure and the user terminal then receives an incoming VoIP call.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Pantech Co., Ltd.Inventor: Suk Woon Choi

Patent number: 8908561Abstract: A system and method for executing network acquisition employ a triggered scan for network acquisition regardless of the recorded optimal nature of the current network. In general, when one or more predefined conditions occur, a network scan is initiated to identify another network, if any, that is more optimal than the current network. Example trigger conditions include failed registration attempts, exceeding a predetermined distance threshold, entry to or exit from a pre-determined region, excess CDMA Chip delay, and others. Triggers may be used singly or in Boolean combinations. In this way, network scanning occurs when it may be beneficial, but will not be initiated too frequently or in situations where connectivity may not actually be suboptimal. This triggered scan provides improved connectivity, and can allow the device to make and receive calls in locations where it would otherwise not have been possible.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2009Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: General Motors LLCInventors: Kevin R. Krause, Ayaz S. Kassam, James Doherty, Ki Hak Yi

Patent number: 8897274Abstract: A receiver receives a desired radio sub-channel transmitted with an unwanted radio sub-channel by producing signal branches from a received radio signal by treating orthogonal components of the received signal separately and also by using one or both of oversampling and multiple receive antennas. Channel estimates for both the desired and unwanted radio sub-channels are produced for signal branches. The unwanted radio sub-channel bits are estimated from a non-stacked form of the received radio signal. The channel estimates and the estimate of the unwanted radio sub-channel bits are used to reconstruct unwanted radio sub-channel components separately for signal branches. Desired radio sub-channel signal branches are produced by subtracting a corresponding one of the reconstructed unwanted radio sub-channel components from signal branches. A non-stacked desired signal is produced by combining the desired radio sub-channel signal branches.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: ST-Ericsson SAInventor: Naveen Jacob

Patent number: 8891554Abstract: A method for data transmission in an automation system from a second field device via a first field device to a receiver, wherein, at the first field device, a first data subframe is created, a second data frame is received from the second field device, and a first data frame including the first and the second data subframe is sent correctly-timed by Dynamic Frame Packing to the receiver. In the event the second data subframe is unable to be appended directly to the first data subframe at the latest after the correctly-timed sending of the first data subframe, the sending of the first data frame is shifted by a time value, where the time value is calculated so that immediately after the sending of the first data subframe, the second data subframe is able to be appended directly to the first data subframe.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Georg Biehler

Patent number: 8842525Abstract: The present document describes a system and method for extending a wireless communication coverage area of a cellular wireless base station transceiver (BTS) to enable control signaling and identification of mobile stations not currently within a coverage area of an existing beamform antenna pattern of the BTS, for example. A cellular BTS may scan through dead zones of coverage areas provided by the BTS to identify mobile stations not within the coverage area of the BTS, but within a possible service area of the BTS. In addition, the BTS may receive a relaying control signal from a mobile station located within the coverage area of the BTS, and the signal will indicate a location of another mobile station not within the coverage area of the BTS but within the service area of the BTS. In either example, the BTS may attempt to provide a coverage area to the mobile station located in the control signaling dead zone, for example.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2009Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Clearwire IP Holdings LLCInventors: John Yongchae Kim, Joe Martire, Thuy Thomas Tran

Patent number: 8838774Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and computer program product for determining a common factor contributing to network activity with reduced computational resource utilization. In some embodiments of the present invention, the method or the system determines one or more factors by examining one or more information transmitted across the network. The method or the system stores a number of information attributable to each of the factors and determines whether the number exceeds a threshold requirement. Where the number for a factor exceeds the threshold requirement, the method or the system then determines a summary statistic for the number of information. Thereafter, the method or the System updates the data structure corresponding to the factor being analyzed based upon the summary statistic. Once the data structure is updated based upon the summary statistic, the method or the system determine one or more common factors for the network activities.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2007Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: InMon CorporationInventors: Peter Phaal, Neil McKee
