Abstract: Provided is a method of transmitting ACK/NACK in a TDD-based wireless communication system. The method includes: receiving M downlink subframes associated with an uplink subframe n in each of two serving cells; determining four candidate resources based on the M downlink subframes received in each of the two serving cells; and transmitting an ACK/NACK response for the M downlink subframes by using one resource selected from the four candidate resources in the uplink subframe n, wherein the two serving cells includes a first serving cell and a second serving cell, and wherein among the four candidate resources, a first resource and a second resource are associated with a PDSCH or a SPS release PDCCH for releasing semi-persistent scheduling received in the first serving cell, and a third resource and a fourth resources are associated with a PDSCH received in the second serving cell.

Abstract: A method of determining a round trip delay time in a network comprising receiving a gate message allocating a transmission time window; retrieving a first timestamp from the gate message; setting a first clock to the time corresponding to the first timestamp, and wherein the first clock runs synchronously with a second clock recovered from a received data stream; sending upstream, after a time interval comprising a grant start time included in the transmission time window offset by a random delay time, a registration request message, wherein the registration request message includes a second timestamp obtained from the first clock; and determining a round trip delay (RTT) from a time the registration request message is received and the second timestamp.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing a plurality of networked fire alarm panels is disclosed. A plurality of fire panels (i.e., nodes) are arranged on a peer-to-peer network, such as a token ring network. One node is designated as a SyncHost, and the remaining nodes are periodically reset to the clock time associated with the SyncHost to ensure all nodes remain substantially synchronized to a single time. As such, when an alarm condition is signaled, the visual notification devices (i.e., strobe lights) of all the fire panels (nodes) will flash at substantially the same time, in accordance with government guidelines. To accomplish the synchronization, the SyncHost sends periodic attendance polls around the network, noting the transit times of the polls. The individual nodes on the network also note times associated with the polls.

Abstract: Systems and methods for Wi-Fi roaming. A gateway supports both a local access point (AP) and a virtual AP. The local AP is accessible only to an “owner” of the gateway. The virtual AP (VAP) is accessible to devices associated with the owner of the gateway and to roaming Wi-Fi devices. A datastore conveys information about the roaming Wi-Fi devices to the VAP to permit them to access the VAP without the need for manual configuration of the VAP. A roaming Wi-Fi device may communicate with a gateway via a tunnel to maintain session connectivity during roaming. A session may be initiated on one network, such as a Wi-Fi network or a cellular network, handed off to another network, such as a cellular network or a Wi-Fi network, and then returned to the network on which the session was initiated.

Abstract: Provided are a method for performing a position update in machine to machine (M2M) communication, and an apparatus using the method. In an idle mode, an M2M apparatus receives a paging message from a base station. The paging message comprises an action code, a network access type, and a resource offset. The action code is an indication for the M2M apparatus to perform a position update; the network access type is an indication for the allocation of resources for a ranging request; and the resource offset is an indication for an offset for uplink allocation. The M2M apparatus transmits the ranging request message to the base station by means of the uplink allocation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a head mount display including: a display section displaying video pictures for the left and right eyes; an audio output section outputting sound accompanying the video pictures; a user operation section operated by the user to adjust the volume of the sound outputted by the audio output section; a mounting sensor detecting whether or not the user has worn the head mount display; and a control section controlling the operation to adjust the volume requested by the user by operating the user operation section in accordance with a detection result from the mounting sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for operating a power save mode in a wireless LAN system. The method involves transmitting a power save multi-poll (PSMP) frame containing a power save mode (PSM) of a non-access point (AP) station (STA) to a first station and to a second station which are paired with an AP on the basis of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology. Information on the PSM contains downlink transmission start offset which indicates the point in time of starting a downlink transmission period, a downlink transmission duration which indicates the duration of the downlink transmission period, and transmission object station identification information. The method further involves transmitting a data frame to the first station and to the second station on the basis of the MIMO technology during the downlink transmission period.

Abstract: A method for rapid peer-to-peer link establishment among a set of mobile devices includes operating a first second device, advertising system attributes in a wireless beacon by the second device, receiving the system attributes from the wireless beacon at the first device, comparing the system attributes to a service needed by the first device, and, if the second device is compatible based on the comparing, establishing a wireless link by the first device to the second device. A system and wireless device for rapid peer-to-peer link establishment among a set of mobile devices are also described.

Abstract: A processor for a radio circuit is disclosed. The processor includes a full spectrum receiver and a white space classifier. The full spectrum receiver is configured to receive an analogue radio signal comprising multiple channels within a frequency band and transform the analogue radio signal to a digital radio signal. The full spectrum receiver is also configured to transform the digital radio signal from a time domain signal to a frequency domain signal. The white space classifier is configured to identify an unused channel within the frequency band using the frequency domain signal derived from the analogue radio signal.

Abstract: Efficient methods for wirelessly communicating file content under varying conditions are described. A wireless device determines, based on mobility and/or geographic location, if the wireless device is to operate in a first mode of communication operation in which received portions of said file are re-transmitted or a second mode of communication operation in which combinations of portions of said file are transmitted. The wireless device transmits packets communicating received file portions when it is determined that the wireless device is to operate in said first mode of operation and transmits packets communicating combinations of file portions, e.g., linear combinations of file portions, when it is determined that the wireless device is to operate in said second mode of operation. The contents of a file may be obtained from some packets which communicate distinct portions of the file and other packets which communicate combinations of distinct portions of the file.

Abstract: Provided are a method and device for performing a position update in machine to machine (M2M) communication. An M2M apparatus in an idle mode receives a paging message from a base station. The paging message comprises an action code and a network access type, the action code being an indication for the M2M apparatus to implement position update. When the network access type indicates the allocation of resources for a ranging request, the M2M apparatus transmits the ranging request to the base station by means of an allocated uplink.

Abstract: Provided are an operating method for machine to machine (M2M) communication and an apparatus using the method. In an idle mode, an M2M device receives a paging message from a base station. The paging message comprises a network connection type and a start offset. The network connection type indicates a resource allocation for a ranging request. The start offset indicates an offset at which to start monitoring the ranging resource for the ranging request.
