  • Patent number: 9609633
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a data transmitting method using a bandwidth request channel and a user terminal and a base station conducting the same. The present invention provides a communication method by a user terminal which transmits data to a base station via a bandwidth request channel, including: generating a preamble for bandwidth request; determining whether a message for the bandwidth request is generated; generating a first signal value to be operated with the preamble when it is determined that the message is generated and generating a second signal value to be operated with the preamble when it is determined that the message is not generated; operating the preamble with the generated first signal value or second signal value; and transmitting a signal including the operated preamble to the base station, thereby reducing overhead occurring when the bandwidth request information is demodulated.

  • Patent number: 9590948
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a system that facilitates forwarding of packets with variable length names. During operation, the system receives a packet with a hierarchically structured variable length identifier (HSVLI) which comprises contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level. The system performs a longest prefix match lookup by selecting an entry from a first data structure of entries. The entries indicate a name component, forwarding information for the name component, and a plurality of entry identifiers that chain an entry to another entry. If a size of the name component is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, the system selects an entry based on the name component. If the size is greater, the system selects an entry based on a compressed key which can be a hash of the name component. The system also resolves collisions associated with the selected entry.

  • Patent number: 9572122
    Abstract: A method for a communication apparatus to align a frame boundary with a cell. A first time at which a predetermined synchronization signal is supposed to be received is determined after knowing a timing of the cell. The predetermined synchronization signal is a primary synchronization signal or a secondary synchronization signal. A second time at which the predetermined synchronization signal is actually received is determined. A first offset between the first time and the second time is determined. A timing of a local time base utilized by the communication apparatus according to the first offset is adjusted such that a frame boundary of the local time base and a frame boundary of the cell are aligned.
