Tim T. Liou has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Protocol data unit recovery
    Patent number: 9887813
    Abstract: Information can transfer from a transmitter to a receiver; however, the transmission can consume valuable resources. Therefore, a number of times a transmission is attempted can be tracked and compared against a threshold value. If the transmission occurs too many times—based upon the comparison—then a reset can occur. Tracking can occur for a protocol data unit and/or a control protocol data unit to determine if a reset should occur.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 21, 2008
    Date of Patent: February 6, 2018
    Assignee: QUALCOMM Incorporated
    Inventors: Shailesh Maheshwari, Thomas Klingenbrunn, Tim T. Liou, Suresh Sharma Gannamaraju, Vikas Gulati, Sitaramanjaneyulu Kanamarlapudi
  • Out-of-synchronization handling method and apparatus
    Patent number: 8699361
    Abstract: A method for handling out-of-synchronization (SYNC) includes generating a plurality of combination sets of transport channels utilized by a communication device. The method also includes selecting, based on a window-based parameter, a highest-ranking combination set of transport channels out of the plurality of combination sets of transport channels. The highest-ranking combination set of transport channels excludes one or more out-of-SYNC transport channels. The method further comprises providing, to a window-based data processing unit, data packets from transport channels in the highest-ranking combination set of transport channels, without providing data packets from the one or more out-of-SYNC transport channels to the window-based data processing unit. Apparatus and machine-readable media for out-of-SYNC avoidance and/or detection are also provided.
