Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for optimization on downloading/streaming activities of media and/or other files (e.g., on a local client, or a local proxy on a mobile device). An example of such downloading/streaming is a user accessing media content including video and/or audio content using a mobile device such as a smart phone, a tablet, or a “phablet,” etc.

Abstract: A method for performing a cell search routine commences by using the Synchronization Channel's (SCH) Primary Synchronization Code (PSC) to acquire slot synchronization to a cell (402). This step will collect a number of hypotheses for frame timing. The method then uses a searcher algorithm such as a sequential dwell searcher that can quickly reject all of the wrong hypotheses gathered in the slot synchronization step, and determine the best hypotheses (404). This cell search routine leads to faster cell acquisition times as compared to some prior art techniques. A receiver (502) that includes a cell searcher (504) that performs the method mentioned above is also described.

Abstract: A circuit is designed with a matched filter circuit including a plurality of fingers (700, 702, 704) coupled to receive a data symbol. Each finger corresponds to a respective path of the data symbol. Each finger produces a respective output signal. A plurality of decoder circuits (706, 708, 710) receives the respective output signal from a respective finger of the plurality of fingers. Each decoder circuit produces a respective output signal. A joint detector circuit (1310) is coupled to receive each respective output signal from the plurality of decoder circuits. The joint detector circuit produces an output signal corresponding to a predetermined code.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are provided for choosing a network for connection and handover based on the application requirements of a multi-mode, multi-radio user equipment. The selection of the network for connectivity and handover is based on one or more of the invoking of an application, the invoking of a second application, and the closing of an application.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for a communications system to manage multiple radios and protocol stacks in a network and in a user equipment are provided. When active communications takes place over one radio system, an alternate radio system is managed in such a way that promotes both low-power operations and quick handovers. When communications are idle over all of the networks, one radio network may be assigned to be a primary radio network, and the alternate radio network may be switched off provided all incoming calls are routed to the primary radio network.
