Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide a synchronization engine that operates in conjunction with a service worker to dynamically store and update a working set of user data and single page application (SPA) resources from a network server to a user device. The working set can be hosted across several domains and identified by association with a user account. Accordingly, the synchronization engine retrieves the working set from the network server to enable offline execution of the single page applications. As such, subsequent requests for interacting with a single page application are then serviced by the synchronization engine using the working set retrieved from the network server. For instance, the service worker can bind user data to the application resources to enable progressive rendering through an application controller using locally available resources. In this way, the disclosed system provides a consistent user experience irrespective of network connectivity.

Abstract: A wireless terminal measures the received power of a tone corresponding to an intention base station null output, measures the received power of pilot signals, and determines a signal to noise ratio of the received pilot signal. The wireless terminal calculates a downlink signal to noise ratio saturation level representative of the SNR of a received downlink signal that the wireless terminal would measure on a received signal transmitted by the base station at infinite power. The calculated downlink signal to noise ratio saturation level is a function of the determined interference power, the measured received pilot signal power, and the determined pilot signal SNR. A report is generated corresponding to one of a plurality of quantized levels, the selected quantized level being the closest representation to the calculated downlink signal to noise ratio saturation level. The generated report is communicated using a dedicated control channel segment in a predetermined uplink timing structure.

Abstract: Improved pilot signal sequences which facilitate multiple channel quality measurements, e.g., through the use of different signal pilot transmission power levels, are described. In various implementations the transmitted pilot sequences facilitate determining the contribution of interference from other sectors of a cell using the same tones, e.g., in a synchronized manner, as the sector in which the pilot signal measurements are being made. To measure noise contributions from neighboring sectors a sector NULL pilot, e.g., a pilot with zero power, is transmitted in an adjacent sector at the same time a pilot signal with a pre-selected, and therefore known, non-zero power is transmitted in the sector where the received pilot signal measurement is made. To facilitate background noise measurements, a cell NULL is supported in some embodiments. In the case of a cell NULL, all sectors of a cell transmit a Null pilot, on a tone that is used to measure background noise.
