Apparatus, computer program product, and methods for flexible data unit segmentation and arrangement
Patent number: 9071988Abstract: Apparatus, computer program products and methods allow inclusion and segmentation of multiple SDUs within a PDU, and generate information (such as header information) necessary to identify, e.g., the position of the segmented SDUs within the PDU. Prior knowledge of the typically used (i.e., predetermined) SDU size is used to perform segmentation operations, hi one exemplary variant, apparatus, methods and computer program products determine if a particular one of a set of input data units (SDUs) is to be segmented in order to fit a portion of the set, including a segment of the particular input data unit, into an output data unit (PDU); segment the input data unit in response to determining the particular input data unit is to be segmented; add the portion of the set to a data portion of the output data unit, and add into the output data unit an indication of a position of the segment in the data portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2008Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Core Wireless Licensing S.a.r.lInventors: Timothy Norris, Michael Whitehead, Luis Miguel Santos Barreto -
Patent number: 8594748Abstract: An apparatus detects, over multiple transfers, an amount of data transferred to/from a network per transfer and/or an amount of time elapsed between transfers; and based at least on the detecting, the apparatus decides whether to trigger an early release from the network in order to at least reduce power consumption in the apparatus, where the decision is made in consideration of at least one configuration aspect of the network. In specific embodiments, the decision is made in consideration of availability and/or suitability of the power saving feature and configuration support in the network, which may be re-detected periodically; re-detection occurs after cell mobility, and/or network access element mobility and/or network control element mobility. An amount of useful data transfer per length of each connection for recent transfers can trigger the decision. Deactivating an early release may be based only on an amount of time that elapses between the transfers.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2009Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Luis Miguel Santos Barreto, Timothy Norris, Stuart Geary

Publication number: 20060252430Abstract: User Equipment (UE) in receipt of a session start signal indicating a session frequency to use for a session along with other user equipment uses the session frequency until a session stop message is received and then changes to a frequency selected to avoid subsequent use of a same frequency used by the other user equipment. For instance, when the UE receives a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) session start signal and it contains a preferred frequency, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE could store the frequency of the serving cell for later reference. The UE then converges to the preferred frequency for the duration of the session. When the UE receives a session stop, RRC layer retrieves the previously stored information about the pre-session frequency and requests the physical layer (L1) to select a cell on the frequency where it was previously camped on.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2006Publication date: November 9, 2006Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventors: Luis Miguel Barreto, Nguyen Tat, Alexander Charles, Richard Williams, Timothy Norris, Juho Pirskanen, Christopher Callender
