Abstract: A data communication system compresses packet headers. A transmitter executes state machines to process a data packet and determine if a transmitter state machine is transferring Interdependent Machine Output (IMO) data. The transmitter generates an IMO vector that indicates if any IMO data is in the data packet. If IMO is present, then the transmitter augments the IMO vector to indicate the individual transmitter state machines that transferred the IMO data. The transmitter transfers the data packet with the IMO vector to a receiver. The receiver processes the IMO vector to determine if any IMO data is transferred in the data packet. If IMO data is transferred, then the receiver processes the augmented IMO vector to transfer the IMO data to individual receiver state machine that correspond to the transmitter state machines that transferred the IMO data.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enabling a base station to receive signals and synchronization information from neighboring base stations over a frequency band designated for transmissions to mobile devices. In embodiments, a cancellation signal is used to cancel antenna overload resulting from a base station's own transmission. By negating antenna overload, the base station may listen for synchronization signals output by neighboring base stations over the frequency band designated for transmission to mobile devices, such as a downlink band, for example. In embodiments, synchronization signals are used by the base station and/or a server to detect when synchronization failures occur at the base station and/or neighboring base stations. Synchronization signals from a neighboring base station may be used to re-synchronize a base station that have experience such a failure, in some embodiments.

Abstract: A base station exchanges session communications with a UE during a communication session, receives a location request for a device location of the UE, determines an amount of delay time associated with the session communications of the UE, and submits a query to a database system for a location of a wireless repeater to which the UE is connected, wherein the query includes an identifier of the base station and the amount of delay time associated with the session communications. The database system processes the identifier of the base station and the amount of delay time associated with the session communications to identify and return the location of the wireless repeater to the base station. The base station receives the location of the wireless repeater from the database system and transfers the location of the wireless repeater in response to the location request for the device location of the UE.

Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provide for dynamically allocating frequency bands transmitted by a base station to a user device to optimize signal strength at the device. A distance from the base station to the user device is determined, and if the distance is greater than a distance threshold, a lower-frequency band is allocated to the device. If the distance is less than the distance threshold, a penetration loss factor for the device is calculated. If the penetration loss factor is greater than a penetration loss threshold, a lower-frequency band is allocated to the device, and if the penetration loss factor is less than the penetration loss threshold, a higher-frequency band is allocated to the device.

Abstract: A wireless access node to facilitate voice over long term evolution (VoLTE) communication sessions comprises a wireless communication transceiver and a processing system. The wireless communication transceiver is configured to exchange VoLTE packets with a wireless communication device during a VoLTE communication session.

The processing system is further configured to, if the number of HARQ retries falls below the threshold value, drop a percentage of the VoLTE packets to achieve an overall percentage of packet loss for the VoLTE communication session based on the number of HARQ retries.

The access subsystem exchanges its user data with the trusted subsystem. The trusted subsystem exchanges the user data with a CPRI communication system based on the CPRI sequence.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enabling a base station to listen and receive signals from neighboring base stations over a frequency designated for transmission to mobile devices for the detection of a synchronization failure. Embodiments provided herein enable the base station to cancel out its own transmission signal(s), which overloads the base station's own antenna 816 due to proximity. By cancelling out the base station's own signal, the base station listens and receives synchronization signals from one or more neighboring base stations over the frequency designated for transmission in a wireless communications network. A synchronization signal may be used, by the base station or as relayed to a server, to determine if the base station or the neighboring base station has experienced a synchronization failure.
