Patent number: 9326289Abstract: Power control in a communication system (100) employing a Downlink Shared Control Channel (DSCH) and a Forward Access Control Channel (FACH) is described. The method includes, applying power control on the Downlink Shared Control Channel; deriving power control information from the power control on the Downlink Shared Control Channel; and applying to the Forward Access Control Channel the derived power control information from the power control on the Downlink Shared Control Channel in order to produce power control on the Forward Access Control Channel. The power control of the Forward Access Control Channel may be implemented by scheduling data in response to the derived power control information.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Peter Jonathan Legg, Timothy J.

Patent number: 9320018Abstract: Scheduling data transmissions in a wireless network is disclosed. A first value related to a radio bearer is provided to a user equipment (UE) by a wireless network. The wireless network also sends an allocation message for an uplink transmission and receives data in response. The data is selected from a plurality of radio bearers of the UE in response to the received first value and based on a second value.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Intellectual Ventures II LLCInventor: Timothy J.

Patent number: 9049017Abstract: An improved acknowledgement (ACK) prioritization scheme is disclosed that provides ACKs with a lower block error rate (BLER) (as opposed to data) over an air interface, provides a separate radio bearer for ACKs, and successively increases the priority of ACKs for each retransmission required. A lower BLER target for ACKs may be achieved by an increase in transmit (Tx) power, additional coding for the radio bearer, or the use of diversity or hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) schemes. After packets are identified as either data or an ACK, they are sent to separate Tx buffers over separate radio bearers. Because the ACKs are transmitted over separate bearers and Tx buffers as compared to the data, ACKs are never queued behind the data, and are effectively prioritized as compared to the data. When retransmissions are required for an ACK packet, the scheduling prioritization is increased successively for each ACK retransmission required.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2006Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Timothy J. Speight

Patent number: 8483687Abstract: An arrangement and method for radio network relocation of a mobile terminal (114) from a first base station controller (122) to a second base station controller (122?) by anchoring at least some SGSN functions with respect to the first base station controller; and relocating at least some RNC functions from the first base station controller to the second base station controller. RNC (124), SGSN (132) and GGSN (134) components may be integrated together, and the RNC (124) may be parented by an SGSN. Alternatively, RANAP SGSN functionality may be split between SGSN and RNC, RANAP and user plane signals may be relayed by the first base station controller to the second base station controller, and the first base station controller may act as an anchor.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2005Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Andrew Gordon Williams, Timothy J.

Patent number: RE44715Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) flow control in a communication system are provided. According to embodiments of the invention. TCP flow control includes determining delay in a transmit buffer of the system; and modifying TCP window size based on the determined delay and a target transmit buffer delay. An indication of a modified TCP window size is sent to a TCP server of the system in an acknowledge packet. Embodiments of the invention are particularly suitable for TCP flow control in wireless communication systems (e.g., UTRA) systems, and has the advantage that RTT (i.e., the latency of the system) can be substantially guaranteed, irrespective of the throughput that a user is allocated.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2011Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Timothy J.
