Publication number: 20240031988Abstract: This application discloses a paging indication method and an apparatus. The method includes: A UE obtains first indication information, where the first indication information indicates whether a core network device supports a paging cause value; and receives a first paging message, where the first paging message includes first information corresponding to the UE, and the first information does not include a first field indicating the paging cause value; and when the first indication information indicates that the core network device supports the paging cause value, the first information indicates the paging cause value. According to the method provided in this application, the UE can explicitly learn whether the paging cause value is indicated in information that is in a paging message and that corresponds to the UE.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Yiru Kuang, Rama Kumar Mopidevi, Haibo Xu, Steven James Wenham, Guowei Ouyang

Publication number: 20180324822Abstract: Embodiments of the present application propose a feedback method for an uplink channel, and an apparatus. In the solution, instead of always sending a first common message or a first scheduling command in any case, a base station determines, only after determining whether a data packet to be sent by a terminal is the last data packet of the terminal, whether a to-be-sent message including an indication bit that is used to indicate whether the base station correctly receives the data packet sent by the terminal is the first scheduling command or the first common message. Alternatively, when the base station determines that the terminal needs to send a next data packet or needs to retransmit the data packet, an indication bit for the terminal in at least two indication bits is used to indicate uplink control information. Therefore, this avoids a waste of resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2018Publication date: November 8, 2018Inventors: Xiaolei TIE, Gengshi WU, Steven James WENHAM, Yinghui YU

Patent number: 7182250Abstract: A computing device with an embedded microprocessor or micro-controller, including a software stack which comprises a content manager, and a runtime environment positioned in the stack above or together with a hardware abstraction layer. The content manager is not specific to any one design of runtime environment or hardware abstraction layer, so that several different designs of runtime environment and/or hardware abstraction layer can each operate with the same content manager. This de-couples the content manager from the runtime environment and/or hardware abstraction layer (e.g. a Java Virtual machine; elements of the operating system). The core advantage is that a single content manager can be used across multiple runtime environments and/or hardware abstraction layers; runtime environments and OSs can therefore be swapped without needing to re-write the content manager.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Smart Card Solutions LimitedInventors: Martin Sean Kelly, Simon Fisher, Martin Strauch, Steven James Wenham
