Abstract: The enclosed embodiments relate to transmission and reception of reference signals on sub-carriers of a time frequency grid in a wireless network. Resource configuration for transmission of reference signals is obtained by a wireless device. A reference signal received power, RSRP, reference signal, RSRP-RS, is transmitted by the wireless device according to the resource configuration. The RSRP-RS is mapped to every J:th sub-carrier, where J>2. The RSRP-RS is received by a network node.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for moving a connection from a localized network, e.g., a personal area network (“PAN”), to a different or larger network, e.g., a wide area network (“WAN”). In one aspect, wherein two devices are in communication on a PAN, each device uses the PAN to query the IPv6 WAN prefix assigned to each other device to which it is communicating on the PAN. The querying device then creates a globally routable IPv6 address for the desired communication and uses it to continue the connection after the device detects that the PAN is out of range. In an embodiment, one of the endpoint devices may determine that it has changed its IPv6 prefix and may transmit the new prefix to the other device through an out-of-band method such as the Short Message Service.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a Voice Virtual Private Network (Voice VPN) and methods for providing access to remote peer users across same. In one embodiment, voice and communication services of one or more corporate network are provided to remote user terminals across a Voice VPN Gateway.

Abstract: Methods, base stations and access terminals for uplink signalling are provided. Resource request channel characteristics such as location in time-frequency, sequence, time slot, are assigned to each access terminal to distinguish their resource requests from the resource requests of other access terminals. Access terminals make requests using a resource request on a resource request channel having the assigned characteristics. The base station can then determine which access terminal transmitted the resource request based on the resource request channel characteristics of the resource request channel upon which the resource request was received. The base station then transmits a response to the request which may for example be a new resource allocation, a default allocation or a renewal of a previous allocation.

Abstract: A way to support a handover of a wireless device from a serving cell being served by a serving base station to a candidate cell being served by a candidate base station is disclosed. A network node determines a respective value of one or more parameters for affecting a range for soft handover. The range of soft handover is applied by the wireless device to determine if the candidate cell is a subject for soft handover. At least one respective value of the one or more parameters is determined based on output power of a transmitter of the serving base station for serving the serving cell and/or of a transmitter of the candidate base station for serving the candidate cell. The network node provides a sending of the respective value of the one or more parameters to the wireless device.

Once the configuration software obtains the configuration information, a network connection configuration process of the gateway device is automatically completed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication in a conventional Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system. A radio provides its location and user group data to the disclosed system through its traffic channel when the channel is idle. Knowledge of the radio's current location and user group data is used to provide dynamic call routing and data management within the disclosed system. The disclosed system and method may provide operability similar to that of a trunking system by providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication while providing low-cost benefits through operation of a conventional system.

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a receiver that can receive data that has been divided among multiple communication carriers and transmitted, and that has multiple communication modes, each using a different number of communication carriers for reception; an acquirer that acquires information indicating a change in the communication volume of the receiver; and a switch that switches the communication mode of the receiver, based on the information acquired by the acquirer.

Abstract: A system and method for body channel communication is provided. The system includes a transceiver which encodes multiple bits per symbol when operating in a high data rate mode by selecting a first Walsh code in response to a first set of multiple bits of data and selecting a second Walsh code in response to a second set of multiple bits of data, both Walsh codes selected from a multiple-bit Walsh code sequence. The transceiver also generates a multi-level transmission signal having a predetermined symbol frequency by stacking the first Walsh code onto the second Walsh code, and transmits the multi-level signal having the first predetermined symbol frequency through the body channel. The transceiver also has additional modes of operation which include a normal mode and a low power mode, the low power mode decoding the multiple bits from the signal in response to harmonic energy from a harmonic frequency generated by the multiple-bit Walsh code sequence.

Abstract: A mobility network architecture includes a control plane and data plane. The control plane supports notification of VLAN configurations. The data plane supports routing of data amongst VLANs. Each VLAN has an associated identifier value as well as a version number. The version number for a respective VLAN can be updated to a new value each time there is a change to the VLAN. Typically, a controller communicates over the control plane to notify each member switch when a version number has changed for a VLAN. If controller notification fails, a member switch can receive a notification from a neighboring switch that the version number for a VLAN has been modified. In response to detecting such a condition, the switch receiving the notification can prevent forwarding of data even though the switch does not receive notification from the controller that the version number for the VLAN has changed.

Abstract: Techniques, apparatuses, and systems are described for wireless communications. In one implement, wireless communication systems can provide one or more mechanisms to reduce reverse overhead control signaling by adaptively transmitting overhead control information.

Abstract: A multichannel gateway is provided such that a line manager detects the lines status and updates line information in a memory. A packet acquirer acquires a packet for transmission from a terminal, and a segmentation necessity determiner calculates a packet sizes (segment sizes) based on the line information so that if the packet is segmented and transmitted to each line, the transmission time will be the same. When the segmentation necessity determiner determines based on the segment sizes that segmentation of the packet is necessary, a packet divider segments the packet into the segments, attaches a header and generates transmission packets. A packet transmitter transmits the transmission packets by way of the corresponding lines to other terminals. A packet combiner removes the headers from the transmission packets received by a packet receiver and combines the packets in the received order.
