Patent number: 10667278Abstract: Various embodiments provide for the management of wireless resources, which can reduce call blocking by allowing high priority services, under suitable conditions, to use resources allocated to low priority services. Thus high priority services can pre-empt the usage of wireless resources by low priority services. This has the advantage of reducing call blocking for high priority calls, while permitting low priority calls to have more access to radio resources than conventional systems with the same call blocking rate. Thus a base station can implement a preemption mechanism that would reclaim Walsh Code and Forward Power resources from an active Supplemental Channel (SCH) burst in order to accommodate incoming Fundamental Channel (FCH) requests.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technolgy Licensing, LLCInventors: Xixian Chen, Xiao-Dong Li, James Weisert, Qiang Yuan, Miroslav Budic

Patent number: 7236764Abstract: In code division multiple access communication systems, there are three levels for updating locations of dormant mobile stations (MSs) and setting up fast call. In sector and are levels, the dormant MS send a layer 2 message containing a message type and MS identifier to a base transceiver station (BTS). Since the message is associated with the sector where the MS is located, the network is aware of the MS's location from the updated location. The dormant MS sends to the BTS a reconnect message containing a message type and an MS identifier. The MS's dormant to active state transition is initiated by the MS. In the communication network, sub-packet zone ID is broadcasted in the overhead message. The MS reports its location change on R-CSCH and the network with the BSC level control can page the MS within the zone where the MS sends the report.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2004Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Hang Zhang, Mo-Han Fong, Ke-Chi Jang, Jun Li, Xixian Chen, Chung-Ching Wang, Geng Wu, James Weisert

Patent number: 7120447Abstract: A method and apparatus to dynamically control selectable vocoder rates in a CDMA network to optimally improve forward and reverse link capacity as necessary. To improve capacity, a number of vocoder rates are used, each requiring a different average data rate and providing a different level of voice quality. Vocoder rates are reduced to lower sector average output power thereby improving forward and reverse link capacity. Forward and reverse link loading are compared to established thresholds that, if exceeded, would trigger a forward link and a reverse link vocoder rate adjustment as necessary to improve network capacity. The forward link vocoder rate and reverse link vocoder rate may be set independently or the reverse link vocoder rate may be set as a function of the forward link vocoder rate to maintain a link balance.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2003Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Ashvin Chheda, James Weisert, Andy McGregor

Publication number: 20050232241Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing push-to-talk communications. Different types of PTT calls with a variety of protocol configurations are supported with the use of PTT Type and Protocol Type fields in a call set up control message. When a push-to-media indicator in a call set up request message is detected in a radio access network in a communications system, the packet is directed to a push-to-media gateway in a packet data network in the communications system. The push-to-media packet is processed using the push-to-media gateway to manage the push-to-media call. This directing of the packet reduces the latency in managing a push-to-media call.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2005Publication date: October 20, 2005Inventors: Geng Wu, Xiao-Dong Li, James Weisert
