Publication number: 20170235940Abstract: A system and method for scheduling tasks associated with controlling access to databases. The system and method relate to scheduling tasks for data requesting systems that satisfy particular conditions. For example, data requesting systems that satisfy the conditions may have associated tasks stored in a queue during a first processing phase. Data requesting systems that do not satisfy the conditions may have associated tasks inhibited from being stored in the queue during the first processing phase, but these tasks may be stored in the queue during a later second processing phase. Tasks stored in the queue during the first processing phase may be processed before tasks stored in the queue during the second processing phase. For example, the tasks may correspond to accessing a database for querying data representing access rights to a resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Robert McEwen, Debbie Hsu, John Carnahan, Vasanth Kumar

Publication number: 20150351153Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving discontinuous reception (DRX) periods using enhanced physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) decoding. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink (UL) retransmission (ReTx) is unnecessary based on the content of the original UL transmission. For example, the transmission may include media access control (MAC) layer padding rather than relevant application layer data. The UE may then identify a DRX sleep period that includes the subframe where the ReTx would take place. In some cases, the DRX sleep period may include a subframe where the UE would otherwise receive an acknowledgement message (AM) from a base station. The UE may then enter a DRX sleep state. In another example, the DRX sleep period is based on the content of a received AM. If the UE receives an ACK, the UL ReTx may be unnecessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2015Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventors: Vasanth Kumar Ramkumar, Deepak Krishnamoorthi, Navid Ehsan, Srinivasan Rajagopalan, Bao Vinh Nguyen

Publication number: 20150327156Abstract: A mobile device determines that a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary cell (SCell) belong to a same multicast-broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) area or that the PCell and the SCell can broadcast the same service. The mobile device determines a communication state of the SCell. If the SCell is active, the mobile device compares signal quality on the PCell and the SCell and selects to decode broadcast content on the PCell or the SCell. If the communication state indicating the SCell is deactivated or released, the mobile device switches to decode the broadcast content on the PCell. If the SCell is released and if the mobile device determines that the PCell is also released, then the mobile device switches to decode the broadcast content on the PCell and initiates a neighbor cell search.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2015Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Vasanth Kumar Ramkumar, Ashish Shankar Iyer, Kuo-Chun Lee, Ketan Narenda Patel, Srinivasan Rajagopalan
