Patent number: 8699412Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate cell barring based on erroneous messages received within a wireless communication system. As described herein, in the event that a device fails to receive and/or decode respective messages transmitted from a network cell over a common communication channel, the device can implement one or more error handling procedures as described herein to reselect away from the network cell and/or a frequency associated with the network cell (e.g., as if the network cell was explicitly barred). Cell barring can be triggered as described herein based on a count of erroneous messages (e.g., consecutive messages, messages received within a predetermined time window, etc.), elapsed time between erroneous messages, or the like. Further, cell barring can be performed as described herein based on failure to acquire pre-scheduled system information, common system information determined to have invalid abstract syntax, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2010Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Daniel Amerga, Nathan Edward Tenny

Patent number: 8660097Abstract: Methods and apparatus for service continuity in a communication network. A method includes receiving a service in a first network coverage area, detecting entry into a second coverage area, acquiring control signaling information of the second coverage area in response to entering into the second coverage area, establishing traffic channels in the second coverage area while the service is received from the first coverage area, and switching to receive the service on the traffic channels in the second coverage area so that service disruption is minimized. Another method includes receiving a service in a first network coverage area, acquiring control signaling information associated with other coverage areas while in the first coverage area, detecting entry into a second coverage area, establishing traffic channels in the second coverage area, and switching to receive the service on the traffic channels in the second coverage area so that service disruption is minimized.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Sanjay Kenchareddy, Vivek Venkatesh Ramachandran, Daniel Amerga, Supratik Bhattacharjee

Publication number: 20130254611Abstract: This application relates to systems and methods for recovering data in multimedia file segments. A communication device may receive a multimedia file segment that includes damaged data. The communication device may replace the damaged data with dummy data to reconstruct the multimedia file segment. The communication device may then play the reconstructed multimedia file segment. Thus, by replacing the damaged data with dummy data, the communication device may play a multimedia file segment even when part of the segment may be damaged.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2012Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Daniel Amerga, Joseph P.

Patent number: 8489092Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate collecting consistent system information when entering a cell during cell selection and/or cell re-selection in a wireless communication environment. SIB(s) can be received while lacking modification period information (e.g., modification period boundary, modification period duration, . . . ). Further, the SIB(s) can be stored in memory with corresponding SFN(s) at which the SIB(s) are respectively received. Thereafter, the modification period information can be identified (e.g., from a SIB2, . . . ). Moreover, an evaluation can be effectuated to determine whether to retain or discard the SIB(s) from memory as a function of the modification period information and the corresponding SFN(s). Further, whether to retain or discard the SIB(s) from memory can be based upon a value tag.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2010Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Amit Mahajan, Vanitha A.
