  • Patent number: 8862176
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed for causing one or more subframes to be transmitted from a base station for a wireless network based on beamforming or transmission power characteristics. In some examples, an interference report may be received at a base station via a backhaul communication link. The interference report may indicate measured interference from the base station as measured at one or more wireless devices. The base station may transmit subsequent subframes in a manner to mitigate the previously reported interference. Other examples are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20140286159
    Abstract: Technology for communicating access point (AP) information for traffic offloading is disclosed. A request may be received, at a wireless local area network (WLAN) domain manager (DM) from an evolved node B (eNB), for access point (AP) information about one or more WLAN access points (APs) for traffic offloading. The access point (AP) information may be obtained for the one or more WLAN APs, at the WLAN DM, based on at least in part operations and management (OAM) reports from the one or more WLAN APs containing the AP information. The AP information may be communicated, from the WLAN DM to the eNB via a network manager (NM), about the one or more WLAN APs to enable traffic offloading from the eNB to at least one of the ALAN APs.

  • Publication number: 20140253385
    Abstract: Embodiments of a communication station and method for time-of-flight (ToF) positioning in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a ToF cooperation table may be received by a positioning station from an access point. The ToF cooperation table may identify one or more cooperating stations and may include information about each cooperating station for ToF positioning. A ToF positioning protocol may be performed with at least some of the cooperating stations identified in the ToF cooperation table using the information in the ToF cooperation table. During the ToF positioning protocol, a current position and a station positional accuracy may be received from each cooperating station. The current position may be a position when ToF is measured. A location of the positioning station may be determined based on the current positions and the ranges to each of the cooperating stations determined from the ToF positioning protocol.

  • Publication number: 20140177590
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems, wireless modules, and methods for local IP access packet data network release. Handover data can be received at a target wireless module as part of a user equipment handover operation. The user equipment can include an active packet data network session associated with a source local home network. A determination that the target wireless module is not in the source local home network can be made based on the handover data. The target wireless module can trigger deactivation of the packet data network session in response to the determination that the target wireless module is not in the source local home network.

  • Publication number: 20140043993
    Abstract: Intelligent packet data network gateway (P-GW) relocation for selected internet protocol traffic offload (SIPTO) service continuity is described. A user equipment (UE) application monitoring module, can monitor the network session state for a UE. A transition window can be determined based on both the network session state and a session continuity impact metric. A new packet data network gateway (P-GW) can be associated to the UE during the transition window in response to a determination that a current P-GW of the UE is less optimal, in at least one performance metric, than the new P-GW.
