  • Patent number: 11930012
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for customization of a mobile communications device's data session retry mechanism in a wireless packet data service network. The mobile communication device requests activation of a data session with a node via the wireless network and receives a reject message via the wireless network in response to the request for activation of the data session, the reject message including a cause code. If the cause code corresponds to a no-retry behavior of the data session retry mechanism of the mobile communication device, the mobile communications device no longer requesting activation of a data session with the node.

  • Publication number: 20230345513
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards scheduling, by a distributed unit, the injection of custom traffic (signals/data) into a radio unit communications path. The custom traffic can be used to improve the performance of the radio unit, such as to perform antenna calibration, to perform test and measurement operations to obtain performance data, which can be used, for example, to modify operating parameters of the radio unit to improve performance of the radio unit. The distributed unit coordinates with the radio unit to schedule and synchronize such custom traffic in unscheduled (physical resource block), such as interleaved with to live-air and non-live-air traffic. Further, the distributed unit, which has scheduling knowledge of upcoming traffic of the radio unit, can communicate such knowledge to the radio unit for the radio unit to change its operating state based on the upcoming traffic knowledge.

The distributed unit coordinates with the radio unit to schedule and synchronize such custom traffic in unscheduled (physical resource block), such as interleaved with to live-air and non-live-air traffic. The radio unit can request the unscheduled physical resource blocks for custom traffic to be inserted by the radio unit. Alternatively, the distributed unit can inject the custom traffic in otherwise unscheduled physical resource blocks for sending to the radio unit. The custom traffic is configured to perform some action by the radio unit, such as to perform antenna calibration, to perform test and measurement operations to obtain performance data, and the like. Performance data can be used, for example, to modify operating parameters of the radio unit to improve performance of the radio unit.

  • Patent number: 10104586
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to transmit data over a radio access technology (RAT). In some aspect, a data transmission using a first radio access technology (RAT) is initiated at a mobile device. A timer is started at a first value. When the timer expires, it is determined that data remains to be transmitted. In response to determining that data remains to be transmitted: the data transmission is suspended, and a search is initiated for a second RAT for transmitting the remaining data. The second RAT provides a higher data rate than the first RAT.
