  • Patent number: 8433806
    Abstract: A method for rejecting the 1× paging transferred in the High Rate Packet Data network is provided, in which the Secondary Color Code mechanism is applied so that the AN which a MS/AT registers transmits A13-paging request messages to the other neighboring ANs, these ANs page a cell phone together and some new messages are added to improve the rejection flow. When the SC/MM is in the AN of HRPD system, for the MS/AT on the multiple edges of AN, the invention can be ensured that the MS/AT in the idle or dormant state can effectively receive the service paging from 1× network in the multiple edge regions of AN in HRPD and can reject the 1× service according to selection of users, which ensures the ability of dual network operation.

  • Patent number: 8224323
    Abstract: Techniques and systems that provide timer based registration for efficiently registering access terminals with a wireless network are described. A timer is provided for an access terminal to register with the network. When the timer expires, the access terminal performs a timer based registration process if a currently serving base station is not the same as a base station that serves the access terminal when the access terminal completes the last timer based registration process, and avoids performing another timer based registration process if the currently serving base station is the same as a base station that serves the access terminal when the access terminal completes the last timer based registration process. The access terminal resets the timer if the currently serving base station is the same as a base station that served the access terminal when the access terminal completes the last timer based registration process.

  • Publication number: 20110261788
    Abstract: The present invention provides a virtual connection releasing method in an inter-operation network. In the inter-operation network between the Enhanced Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and the evolved HRPD (eHRPD) Access Network, a PMIP indication is set for indicating whether the HRPD Serving Gateway HSGW needs to initiate the Proxy Mobile IP (PMIP) binding updating operation or not. When the virtual connection releasing is initiated, the evolved Access Network (eAN) sends the A9-releasing-A8 message, which carries the PMIP indication, to the evolved Packet Control Function (ePCF). After obtaining the PMIP indication through the ePCF, the HRPD Serving Gateway determines whether to initiate the PMIP binding updating operation according to the PMIP indication.
