A method is disclosed that includes selecting at an apparatus a user equipment for an automatic neighbor relations measurement based on a determination one or more parameters associated with the user equipment meet one or more scenarios. The method includes initiating by the apparatus an automatic neighbor relations measurement procedure for the selected user equipment. The method includes awaiting at the apparatus for a conclusion of the initiated automatic neighbor relations measurement procedure. Apparatus and program products are also disclosed.

Success rate improvements for ANR measurements while reducing data loss at a UE

A communication system provides for a handoff of a hybrid mobile station (MS) between a legacy network implementing a non-high rate packet data (non-HRPD) communication technology and a network implementing a high rate packet data (HRPD) communication technology. In one embodiment, the legacy network receives a handoff trigger and redirects the MS to the HRPD network. In other embodiments, the legacy network (or HRPD network) receives a handoff trigger, obtains an allocation of HRPD network (or non-HRPD network) resources from the HRPD network (or non-HRPD network), and informs the MS of the allocated HRPD network (or non-HRPD network) resources. Subsequent to the establishment by the HRPD network (or non-HRPD network) of a traffic channel with the MS, the non-HRPD network (or HRPD network) releases non-HRPD network (or HRPD network) RF resources associated with the MS. In still other embodiments, the handoffs may be controlled by a Mobile Switching Center.

Method and system for inter-technology active handoff of a hybrid communication device

A method in wireless communication devices, for example, a cellular handset, including receiving a network control message, forcing an active packet session into a dormancy state in response to receiving the network control message, suspending a dormancy timer after receiving the network control message, and starting the dormancy timer upon completion of an event, for example, a voice pre-emption, that precipitated suspension of the active packet session.

Enhanced voice pre-emption of active packet data service

An apparatus and method for efficient transitions between operating states in a communication network, includes a preliminary step of having a mobile station in a Dormant or Idle state. A next step includes requiring a data transfer, either to or from the mobile station. A next step includes transitioning the mobile station from the Dormant or Idle to an Active state. A next step includes transferring a bearer path context for the data from a Paging Control Function (PCF) to an RF Bearer Function. This can include creating a tunnel using an Inter-PCF handoff procedure. The result is a direct connection between an RF Bearer Function and an IP Router, without the PCF being in the data path.

Efficient transitions between operating states in a communication network

Various embodiments are described to address the need for reduced handoff delays associated with inter-AN (access network) HRPD (High Rate Packet Data)/1XEV-DO handoffs. The disclosed approach enables an AT () with an active packet data session to perform a hard handoff from a source AN () to a target AN () without having to force the data session dormant. Unlike known hard handoff approaches that involve coordination by a mobile switching center (MSC), the disclosed approach uses peer-to-peer signaling with no MSC involvement, such as that between source and target ANs or PCFs (). For example, data session information at the source side is transferred via new A13 messaging to the source entity's target-side peer to otherwise reduce signaling between the source and target equipment.

A system and method of managing the bandwidth of transmitted communications in a wireless network where a data packet () is received. The data packet () comprises a protocol identifier (). At least one primary pattern identifier () is stored in a memory (). The protocol identifier () is compared () to the at least one primary pattern identifier and a data packet type is determined () based at least in part upon the comparing. A resource allocation scheme is selected from amongst a plurality of resource allocation schemes for application to a wireless network based at least in part upon the data packet type.

System and method for controlling packet data bandwidth

A method and computer program for initiating a message to a radio access network include steps of: () detecting a request to transmit a probe message from a transmitter over an access channel to a radio access network; () calculating a transmit power for the probe message; () checking a condition that may result in failure to receive the probe message over the access channel by the radio access network; and () when the condition is determined to be true, then () reducing a message length of the probe message to generate a shorter probe message; () recalculating the transmit power to send the shorter probe message; and () transmitting the shorter probe message over the access channel at the recalculated transmit power.

A PDSN () includes a usage recording agent () for distinguishing between nonbillable and billable activity of a subscriber device. The usage recording agent () creates a record of a total number of bytes transmitted from the PDSN () to the RAN (), counts bytes that are retransmitted from the PDSN () for providing a retransmitted byte total, and forwards the retransmitted byte total and the record to an AAA () so that the record can be adjusted in accordance with the retransmitted byte total.
