  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING KEY MANAGEMENT AND KEY DISTRIBUTION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20090136043
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided that enable a common key distribution and management system to be used for distributing and managing the keys that are used for authenticating, authorizing and ciphering exchanges between a wireless device and an ANP and that are used for authentication, authorizing and ciphering exchanges between wireless device and the SNP.

  • Packet transmission method
    Patent number: 6865164
    Abstract: A wireless system includes base station transceivers (102-104) to communicate with at least one mobile station (108), the base station transceivers communicate with a network controller (110). The base station controls a header for a packet frame to be communicated between the base station transceiver and the network controller wherein a portion of the header identifies the frame as one containing no data package. The data bits of the header field may contain a predetermined bit pattern for a frame including no data package. Information received by the base station from the mobile station may be dropped, and the header information replaced with the specified bit pattern, if a decoding metric passes a threshold. The information received by the base station from the mobile station may be dropped, and the header information replaced with the specified bit pattern, if a CRC for the frame received from the mobile station fails.

  • Method and system for determining an estimate of a transmission time of a packet
    Patent number: 6205125
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the transmission time of packets of information in a communication system includes a temporal offset processor (330) which receives transmission delay information from a delay analyzer (315) and soft handoff state information from a control processor (320). This information is used to determine a temporal offset for packets of information. The temporal offset is used by a network arbiter (350) to determine when the associated packet should be transferred in time.

  • Method and apparatus for time aligning a frame in a communication system
    Patent number: 6134287
    Abstract: A method and system for time aligning a frame (60) in a communication network (10) involves the steps of; i) determining if a frame needs to be advanced at a BTS (14), and ii) sending a shortened synchronization pattern from the BSC (12). The BTS (14) then determines if a short or long synchronization pattern has been sent by determining (256) if the received data stream matches a long synchronization pattern and setting a first flag when they do match. If the received data stream does not match the long synchronization pattern and the first flag is set (264), the data stream is compared (266) to the short synchronization pattern. When they match a second flag is set (268).

  • Method and system for determining a packet transmission order
    Patent number: 6125110
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the order of transmission of packets of information in a communication system includes a priority assignment processor (330) which receives transmission delay information from a delay analyzer (315) and soft handoff state information from a control processor (320). This information is used to determine a priority level for packets of information. The priority level is used by a network arbiter (350) to determine when the associated packet should be transferred relative to other packets of information.
