Abstract: A method for improving the transmission efficiency of a short data burst (SDB) in a CDMA telecommunications network by generating an SDB comprising a service reference identifier, a service option omit field indicating whether a service option identifier is to be included or omitted from the SDB, and a data block. The SDB may thus be generated without a service option identifier and, as such, be more efficiently transmitted between a base station and a mobile station, thereby resulting in a typical gain over the prior art of up to 2% of data capacity.

Abstract: A wireless communication network generally includes a number of subscriber units, a base station controller, and a base station transceiver coupled to the base station controller. A parameter specifying an interval at which subscriber units in the wireless communication network are permitted to generate autonomous messages is stored, for example, in a system parameter database at the base station. The parameter is broadcast by the base station transceiver over-the-air to subscriber units in the wireless communication network. In response to receipt of the parameter, the subscriber units store the parameter and thereafter transmit autonomous message over-the-air only in accordance with the parameter. In one preferred embodiment, the parameter regulates how often autonomous messages can be transmitted by individual subscriber units.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and systems for extending RSVP signaling to wireless networks. RSVP messages may be intercepted by an RSVP daemon, adjusted as necessary to accommodate the wireless network, and then forwarded on as RSVP messages either on a traffic channel or as a short data burst. Alternatively, the RSVP messages may be encapsulated in layer 3 messages. Alternatively, RSVP messages may be intercepted by another component, such as a PDSN, which then coordinates the establishment of the requested wireless connection.

Abstract: A wireless communication system and a mobile station employ at least one threshold to evaluate the quality of transmissions from a serving base station to determine when the mobile station enters a Dead Zone adjacent a border cell of the system. Such thresholds not only consider the ratio of carrier energy (Ec) to interference (Ec/Io) but also consider the energy of the carrier itself. When the relevant measured (or calculated) carrier energy Ec and/or carrier energy to interference ratio Ec/Io are passed, the mobile station performs system reselection, attempting to acquire a different system/carrier. The thresholds employed may be passed from the base station to the mobile station in the System Parameters message, for example.

Abstract: An improved method for programming a mobile telephone over the air within a mobile telephone communication network is disclosed. The mobile telephone communication network includes an over-the-air function, a customer service center, a mobile switching center, a base station controller, and multiple base transceiver stations. The over-the-air function, using the mobile switching center, the base station controller, and one of the base transceiver stations for transport, initially sends a request over the air to a mobile telephone within the mobile telephone communication network to interrogate the mobile telephone's protocol capability. In response to the request, the mobile telephone sends a protocol capability response message over the air back to the over-the-air function. The protocol capability response message includes a BAND_MODE_CAP field that describes the band and mode capability information of the mobile telephone.

Abstract: The private/residential wireless communication system uses the code division multiple access air interface to provide communication with radiotelephones. The present invention provides support for both physical and virtual private systems. A radiotelephone monitors the broadcast channel of the public system to obtain private system information. The radiotelephone use the broadcast information together with pre-programmed stored private system information in the radiotelephone memory to acquire and register with the private systems. If the radiotelephone locates a private system that is not stored in its memory, it obtains relevant information for registering with that system. The radiotelephone then stores the information of accepting systems. This information is displayed so that a system can be chosen. The radiotelephone then registers with the chosen system.

Abstract: A method and system for avoiding communication failure in CDMA systems. The method system achieve their objects as follows. At least one CDMA carrier acquisition failure is detected. Channel acquisition procedures are adjusted such that the at least one CDMA carrier for which acquisition failed is no longer considered a viable channel. Channel acquisition failure detection can include storing the identity of the at least one CDMA carrier for which acquisition failed. Adjustment of channel acquisition procedures can include removing the at least one CDMA carrier for which acquisition failed from the list of carriers considered active. Adjustment of channel acquisition procedures can also include allowing CDMA carrier selection as if the detection of at least one CDMA carrier acquisition failure had not occurred, and, if the CDMA carrier selected is the at least one CDMA carrier for which acquisition failed, substituting another CDMA carrier in place of the CDMA carrier selected.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for initiating an over the air parameter administration (OTAPA) of a mobile station without the need for interacting with a mobile station user. A unique service option number included with the initial page indicates to the mobile station that an update is being requested. The mobile station performs a network validation check (SPASM) before permitting the update to take place. Flags are used in the network to alert the system that an attempted update was not completed because a mobile station was not update accessible for any of several reasons. The flags cause the system to update when the mobile station next becomes update accessible.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for increasing the efficiency of usage of an assigned rf spectrum used by a cellular or wireless communication system for a large number of high speed data transfer user requests. An MS, upon analyzing a plurality of parameters available to the MS may determine that although it needs more than a single channel to accommodate a given software data generating application, it may adequately and optimally use less than the maximum number of channels (or maximum data rate) that the MS can support. The MS then generates a request to the base station for additional channels (or a supplemental channel of a higher data rate) to transmit in one data burst a specified total number of quantity of data. The request may also specify the maximum number of channels (or maximum data rate) that the MS can support along with an indication of relative priority by means of indicating the amount of time over which the burst occur as an optimum situation for the MS.

Abstract: An enhanced mechanism for the reverse link power control in a wireless communication system, especially for high speed data applications and fixed wireless communication applications, dynamically adjusts the power control step size of the reverse link power control. The power control step size is dynamically adjusted based on various factors including types of service, number of reverse supplemental code channels, total received power at the base station, estimated diversity gain and required mobility, among others. The system which includes stationary infrastructure, can query a subscriber unit's capability in the support of a pre-defined set of power control step sizes before assigning it to the subscriber unit. Furthermore, the subscriber unit may decide its optimized power control step size based on certain feedbacks from the system.

Abstract: A snow chain for a motor vehicle tire which consists of a pair of side cables, a plurality of cross cables between the pair of side cables and connected to the side cables by connectors. Rotatably disposed grippers on the cross cables. Deformation of the connectors and damage to the tire is prevented by the insertion of a rubber ring on the cross cable between the grippers and the connector. One direction slippage (skid) is prevented by forming a space of "t" between axially disposed protrusions on the grippers disposed on the cross cables and means to join the ends of each of the side cables to one another.

Abstract: A siliconized graphite for use in mechanical seals is provided. This material is prepared by reacting graphite at an elevated temperature ranging from 1800.degree. to 2100.degree. C. with silicon monoxide. Silicon monoxide is generated in rate-controlled fashion by reacting either silicon carbide and silica or silicon nitride and silica at an elevated temperature ranging from 1500.degree. to 1800.degree. C.Although the optimum temperature range for the SiO generation and the siliconization of graphite is different by 300.degree. C., size-controlled raw materials (silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and silica) and a unique sample loading method make the whole process occurred in situ and make the production of mechanical seals efficient. Size-controlling of the raw materials is essential for a constant supply of silicon monoxide in controlled fashion, and a unique sample loading method is essential to put the SiO generation and the siliconization of graphite within their optimum temperature ranges.
