Abstract:
Embodiments provide methods and systems for transmitting an emergency (SOS) message from a user (UE) to a cellular network in a highly robust and energy efficient manner. Specifically, embodiments enable the SOS message to be sent in a synchronous manner despite the asynchronous nature of the network, which significantly enhances the probability of successful reception of the SOS message by at least one base station (eNodeB) of the network. Embodiments further provide highly robust SOS message transmission and reception schemes configured to enhance the successful detection and decoding of the SOS message by at least one base station of the cellular network. In addition, embodiments enable the synchronous transmission of the SOS message to the network without requiring network attachment by the UE. This makes embodiments highly suited for emergency situations in which network coverage is affected and can enable significant and precious power savings at the UE.
Abstract:
A technique to receive a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) broadcast, in which a plurality of source symbols and repair symbols of a broadcast from a broadcast source are received at a UE. The source symbols and repair symbols are based on fountain codes, so that not all of the repair symbols are used to recover the originally sourced data. An application layer of the UE recovers the sourced data and places the receiver in a power-save mode following the last repair symbol used to recover the sourced data, so that remaining repair symbols are not received by the receiver and subsequently processed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for encoding k input symbols, using a Reed-Solomon erasure correction code, into a longer stream of n output symbols for transmission over an erasure channel. The present disclosure is further directed to a system and method for recovering the original k input symbols from only (and any) k output symbols (out of the n output symbols) received over the erasure channel. A symbol is a generic data unit consisting of one or more bits that can be, for example, a packet. The systems and methods of the present disclosure provide for an adjustable code rate that can be readily adapted based on changing channel conditions without having to reconstruct the encoder/decoder. As a result, such an encoder/decoder can be referred to as rate-independent.
Abstract:
Embodiments provide WiFi and LTE tailored transceiver radio frequency (RF) filtering techniques and configurations to enable coexistence between WiFi and LTE transceivers operating in close proximity. In particular, embodiments provide filtering techniques to reject emissions from LTE into WiFi, and vice versa. The filtering techniques eliminate the need for additional isolation between LTE and WiFi antennas (approximately 50 dB), which is beyond what is achievable in practice. Embodiments can be tailored according to different use cases of the WiFi and LTE transceivers (e.g., fixed CPE, portable router, smart phone with tethering).
