Power management method for creating deliver opportunities in a wireless communication system

A power management method, in which creation of deliver opportunities for a wireless station (STA) of a WLAN system is managed using a designated sub-field of the frame control field in a MAC header. In one embodiment, the STA is adapted (i) to use the power management sub-field to communicate its power state to the access point (AP) and (ii) to run a periodicity timer, which starts when the STA has transitioned to the doze state. The STA transitions to the awake state either when it has a data frame available for transmission to the AP or when the periodicity timer runs out. In another embodiment, the AP and STA create deliver opportunities by entering a new mode of operation referred to as interactive traffic power management (ITPM) mode, during which the power management sub-field is ignored and the more data sub-field is used to communicate the power state and manage transitions of the STA between the awake and doze states. Embodiments of the invention improve WLAN system performance when the traffic load is such that data frames become available for transmission both at the STA and AP at relatively regular intervals, which is typically the case for interactive voice-over-WLAN applications.

Optimal selection of communications common carrier plans

In an allocation of subscribers to one or more wireless carrier rate plans, a number of wireless voice and / or data carrier rate plans is selected and each subscriber's historical wireless time usage for each of a number of foregone time intervals is determined. For each combination of subscriber and rate plan a first expression is defined that includes a unique variable and a cost associated with assigning the subscriber to the rate plan for at least one of the time intervals. Constraints that collectively ensure that subscribers are allocated to a specified minimum or maximum number of rate plans, or restrict a subscriber to be allocated to just one rate plan are determined. The expressions and constraints are processed by an optimal solution solver running on a computer to determine an optimal assignment of subscribers to at least one rate plan.

Power management method for managing deliver opportunities in a wireless communication system

A power management method, in which duration of deliver opportunities for a wireless station (STA) of a WLAN system is managed using a designated sub-field of the frame control field in a MAC header. Either the STA or the access point (AP) can terminate the deliver opportunity, e.g., based on the amount traffic. In one embodiment, the STA is adapted (i) to use the power management sub-field to communicate its power state to the AP and (ii) to run a maximum-wait timer, which starts when the AP is informed that the STA is in the awake state. The STA transitions to the doze state either when it has received a data frame from the AP or when the maximum-wait timer runs out. In another embodiment, the AP and STA manage deliver opportunities by entering a new mode of operation referred to as interactive traffic power management (ITPM) mode. During this mode the power management sub-field is ignored and the more data sub-field is used to communicate the availability of data and to manage transitions of the STA between the awake and doze states. Embodiments of the invention improve WLAN system performance when the traffic load is such that data frames become available for transmission both at the STA and AP at relatively regular intervals, which is typically the case for interactive voice-over-WLAN applications.

Enhanced Voice Roaming for UE Devices Associated with a Home Network without SRVCC

Some embodiments relate to a cellular network which better utilizes packet-switched (PS) voice technologies, such as VoLTE, for roaming user equipment (UE) devices. When a roaming UE associated with a home cellular carrier that does not support PS to CS handover (SRVCC) desires to make a VoLTE call, the cellular network may determine probability of such a handover during the the call. The cellular network may selectively accept or reject the packet-switched wireless voice call based on the handover probability. If the probability of handover is high, the cellular network may reject the packet-switched wireless voice and trigger the UE to fall back to a circuit-switched network and re-originate the wireless voice call on the circuit-switched network. In the case of a mobile terminated call, the cellular network may provide signaling to the UE to perform a fallback to a circuit-switched network in order to receive the mobile terminated call.
