Abstract: A communication control device includes a traffic monitoring unit, the number of ranks calculation unit, a rank value calculation unit, a communication control unit, and a download unit. The traffic monitoring unit monitors a traffic amount between a content server and a base station. The number of ranks calculation unit calculates the number of rank values that servers as a reference for determining a download destination mobile station of data based on a monitoring result by the traffic monitoring unit. The rank value calculation unit calculates the rank value for each mobile station using the number and radio communication quality of a plurality of mobile stations. The communication control unit determines the download destination mobile station in order from a mobile station having a high rank value at a determination timing. The download unit downloads the data to the mobile station determined as the download destination.

Abstract: An architecture that can redirect communications upon detection of a handover failure in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network is described. The architecture can obtain information indicative of a handover failure that is available in a first portion of the LTE network (e.g., a serving gateway) that has no control over the communication path. The architecture can utilize the information to instruct a second portion of the LTE network (e.g., a mobility management entity), one that can control the communication path but conventionally has no access to the handover information, to reroute the communication path to avoid unresponsive or failing network entities.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to configuring a wireless device. The wireless device has a first module implementing a first wireless protocol and a second module implementing a second wireless protocol. After the wireless device identifies a need to configure a second wireless protocol, the wireless device begins periodically wirelessly broadcasting advertisement packets by the first module. Each advertisement packet has a payload storing a configuration request indicator. A host receives one of the advertisement packets, optionally establishes, with the first protocol, a channel with the wireless device. The host transmits a reply packet of the first protocol that contains configuration data for the second wireless protocol. The wireless device uses the reply packet to configure itself for connectivity using the second wireless protocol.

Abstract: A mobility management device makes an ISR feature operate in collaboration with an SGSN. It is assumed that a location registration area managed by the mobility management device exists within a location registration area managed by the SGSN, and an incoming voice call is made to a mobile communication device during when the mobile communication device is moving out of the location registration area. The mobility management device includes an incoming voice call control unit that, in the above case, sends a response message indicating that the mobile communication device is moving to a switching device and, when an incoming voice call message is sent again from the switching device to a switching device after the lapse of a specified period of time, performs call attempt to the mobile communication device.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for distributed channel access for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless network are generally described herein. User equipment (UE) may transmit a connection identifier (CID) code at a beginning of a contention window to request channel access for a D2D transmission to a receiving device. Links for D2D transmissions from a transmitting device to a receiving device are identified by a CID that is mapped to a CID code. The UE may receive a bandwidth grant from the receiving device during the contention window, along with bandwidth grants for other CIDs, in an order based on a priority level of the CID. The UE may transmit data after reception of the bandwidth grants in time-frequency resources indicated in an associated one of the bandwidth grants. In some embodiments, spatial-reuse and variable resource size allocation are supported.

Abstract: A system for reducing crowdsourcing network traffic has a server that aggregates data from a plurality of devices within a particular area. The devices determine their locations using, for example, a location engine (e.g., Global Positioning System (GPS)) to learn its geographic coordinates. As part of the crowdsourcing exercise, the device opportunistically scans for nearby communication nodes, such as Wi-Fi access points and the like. When a communication node is found, the electronic device associates the device's location coordinates with the detected communication nodes to create data that is tagged with the identity of the communication nodes. The tagged data may be stored locally on the electronic device and periodically uploaded to the server. When the server has sufficient information on the communication nodes in the area, the server sends a notification to the devices to refrain from additionally scanning for and/or sending additional tagged data, thereby curbing the amount of network traffic.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to synchronizing transmissions among parent and child routing nodes in a hierarchical wireless mesh network. In one implementation, the present invention employs a time slot scheduling algorithm to coordinate communications between wireless nodes of a hierarchical tree. In one implementation, the present invention provides a wireless mesh network where slot scheduling information propagates throughout the mesh, while individual nodes in the mesh compute their respective time slot schedules based on this information and the current state of the network. In one such implementation, a parent routing node computes its slot schedule and transmits certain parameters to its child nodes (as opposed to the schedule itself). The child node(s) then iterates the same scheduling function based on the parameters passed to it to determine the slots with which it should communicate to its parent node and its child nodes.

Abstract: The various embodiments include methods for managing how a DSDS mobile communication device that is accessing an arbitrary combination of any two mobile telephony networks processes paging collisions. The embodiment methods promote the control of the paging block rates for two distinct subscriptions, in which a subscription's paging block rate is the long-term percentage of its blocked paging messages over its total number of received paging messages. In the various embodiments, a mobile communication device may use a paging blocking bias to achieve a particular paging blocking rate. The paging blocking bias may be set or adjusted through various means to cause a first subscription to have a paging blocking rate that is less than, equal to, or greater than a paging blocking rate for a second subscription.
