Publication number: 20090303977Abstract: Techniques for controlling discontinuous transmissions in a wireless communication system are described. A method and apparatus for transmitting data on an uplink includes tracking past performance of at least one of an uplink channel condition and uplink system resources. A prediction of a likelihood of a completed or successful data transmission is performed. A long preamble is transmitted with an uplink control channel when the prediction indicates a likelihood of completion of the data transmission. When past performance indicates an unlikelihood of completing the transmission of the data, then the discontinuous mode is maintained without data transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2008Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Liangchi Hsu, Idreas Mir, Srividhya Krishnamoorthy, Thomas Klingenbrunn

Publication number: 20090040988Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for extending the protocol synchronization period between a PPP client and a PPP server, wherein the PPP server is located on a wireless communication device. In one aspect, the PPP server generates and sends an IPCP Configure-Nak message to the PPP client whenever the PPP client sends an IPCP Configure-Request message, wherein an arbitrary non-zero value is deliberately sent as the primary DNS address, the secondary DNS address, the primary WINS address, or the secondary WINS address is sent in the IPCP Configure-Nak message. The IP address is deliberately omitted from the IPCP Configure-Nak message.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2008Publication date: February 12, 2009Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Idreas Mir, Senthil Viswanathan, Marcello Lioy, Mustafa Saglam

Patent number: 7430177Abstract: Techniques to test a wireless communication link using configurable channels and rates. A W-Markov test service may be invoked to test and/or verify the performance of the downlink and/or uplink using at least one transport channel for each link. Each transport channel may be individually configured. The W-Markov test service supports generation of test data based on a defined data sequence or a pseudo-random number generator. The testing may be performed based on a particular deterministic or pseudo-random activity model. For voice call testing, a first-order Markov model may be used to model voice activity and to select the rate to use for each transmission time interval (TTI). For Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR), testing may be performed based on configurable AMR rates and silence descriptor (SID) types. The test data generation processes are synchronized between the transmitter and receiver. Bit, frame, and/or block error rates and other statistics may be collected.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: QUALCOMM, IncorporatedInventors: Idreas A. Mir, R. Nicholson Gibson

Patent number: 7421016Abstract: Techniques to test a wireless communication link. A traffic channel is tested via a test data service option (TDSO) that may be negotiated and connected similar to other services. Test parameters values may be proposed, accepted or rejected, and negotiated. Test data for a channel is generated based on a defined data pattern or a pseudo-random number generator. Sufficient test data may be generated based on the generator for a test interval, stored to a buffer, and thereafter retrieved from a particular section of the buffer to form data block(s) for each “active” frame. The traffic channel may be tested using discontinuous transmission. A two-state Markov chain determines whether or not to transmit test data for each frame. The average frame activity and average burst length are defined by selecting the probabilities for transitioning between the ON/OFF states of the Markov chain, which may be driven by a second generator.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2003Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Inventors: Scott Eduard Fischel, Idreas A.

Publication number: 20080085717Abstract: Techniques for managing resources at a wireless device are described. In one aspect, the wireless device controls applications based on resource demands and available resources. Processing demands by the applications may be monitored, and at least one of the applications may be controlled based on the processing demands and a maximum processing capacity of a processing unit executing the applications. A data application may be controlled by reducing the amount of data exchanged by the application when high processing demands are detected, and vice versa. In another aspect, the wireless device varies resource capacity to match resources demands. The processing capacity of the processing unit may be adjusted based on the processing demands. Higher clock frequency may be selected for the processing unit when the processing demands exceed a high threshold, and lower clock frequency may be selected when processing demands fall below a low threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2007Publication date: April 10, 2008Applicant: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Gurvinder Chhabra, Idreas Mir, Thomas Klingenbrunn

Patent number: 7184792Abstract: For delayed transmission after reconfiguration of the physical layer, a wireless network initially sends a first message (e.g., a Reconfiguration message) to a wireless device for reconfiguration of uplink and/or downlink physical channels. The wireless network then performs synchronization to establish the uplink physical channels, and the wireless device performs synchronization to establish the downlink physical channels. Upon completing the downlink synchronization, the wireless device sends a second message (e.g., a Reconfiguration Complete message) to the wireless network. The wireless network sends a Layer 2 acknowledgment (L2 ACK) upon successfully decoding the second message. The wireless network delays transmission of signaling/data on the downlink, except for transmission of certain messages such as those needed for reconfiguration, until successful decoding of the second message.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2004Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventor: Idreas A.

Publication number: 20060029096Abstract: A generic quality of service (QoS) model that is not dependent on network technology is used to support QoS for communication networks utilizing different network technologies. The generic QoS model may include a superset of all QoS parameters for all network technologies being supported, e.g., 3GPP and 3GPP2. An application at a device may specify QoS for a traffic flow based on the generic QoS parameters in the superset. The generic QoS parameters may be converted to QoS parameters that are specific to a serving network. The converted QoS parameters are exchanged with the serving network and are used while exchanging traffic with the serving network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2005Publication date: February 9, 2006Inventors: Uppinder Babbar, Idreas Mir, Marcello Lioy, Sivaramakrishna Veerepalli
