  • Publication number: 20130223367
    Abstract: Methods and wireless communication devices for access procedure enhancement are provided. The wireless communication device for access procedure enhancement includes a transceiver module and a communication protocol module. The transceiver module performs wireless transmissions and receptions to and from a network. The communication protocol module divides an access channel into a plurality of narrow band frequency division multiplexing (FDM) channels, groups a plurality of reverse link FDM access channels (R-FACH) into a plurality of R-FACH groups, determines whether a base station in a network supports an access probe. If yes, the base station joins at least one R-FACH group. The wireless communication device sends the access probe in a chosen R-FACH during each access procedure.

  • Publication number: 20130223532
    Abstract: A motion estimation method is provided. The method has the following steps of: determining a start searching point according to multiple neighboring macroblocks of a current macroblock, wherein the current macroblock corresponds to a searching window; determining a best candidate pixel according to a first line segment where the start searching point is located, and a second/third line segment above/beneath the first line segment; determining whether the best candidate pixel is located at the first line segment; if so, setting a candidate motion vector corresponding to the best candidate pixel as a first motion vector of the current macroblock; and if not, dynamically adjusting the second line segment or the third line segment in the searching window to update the best candidate pixel, and retrieving the first motion vector of the current macroblock corresponding to the updated best candidate pixel.

  • Publication number: 20130182642
    Abstract: Communication transmission methods and systems are provided. Firstly, a base station broadcasts a message to a user equipment, wherein the message includes a priority threshold value. Then, the user equipment compares a priority value of the user equipment with the priority threshold value. Then, an initiation of an access procedure of the user equipment is disabled when the priority value of the user equipment is below the priority threshold value.
