Wireless channel allocation in a base station processor
Abstract
A system and method are provided for allocating wireless channels in a base station processor to messages sent between a subscriber and the base station processor in a wireless network. A latency period is determined corresponding to a return message to be received from a responsive node in response to an outgoing message sent from a sender via the base station processor. A latency manager in the base station processor computes the latency period and stores the latency period in an allocation table. A scheduler schedules a channel to be available at the end of the latency period indicated in the allocation table. At the end of the latency period, the return message is received and the scheduler allocates a channel as defined in the allocation table. The scheduled channel is used to transmit the message to or from the corresponding subscriber.

Methods and systems for in-device interference mitigation
Abstract
Methods and apparatus for mitigating in-device interference are described. The methods may include an in-device interference event (e.g. an interference situation), and the processing of events may depend on the priority of the technologies. A handover to another frequency or radio access technology (RAT) may occur in case a co-existing technology may be activated. The network may signal to the device a list of frequencies or RATs that it may be allowed to measure and handoff to. A network may provide a scaling value that the device may use to speed up reaction to the interference. The device may apply a scaling factor to an "out of synch` counter and/or the radio link failure (RLF) timer used for the RLF procedure. The device may apply different scaling factors for the measurements and time to trigger events. The device may trigger a report to the network requesting gaps for an alternate RAT.

Wireless communication method and apparatus for reporting traffic volume measurement information to support uplink data transmissions
Abstract
A method and apparatus for uplink transmission is disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmits, to a Node-B, a first type message, a second type message, and a third type message. The first type message indicates that the WTRU has uplink buffered data available for transmission. The second type message includes a plurality of indications, wherein each indication indicates an amount of uplink buffered data associated with at least one priority. The third type message indicates an amount of uplink buffered data and has less information than the second type message. The WTRU receives, in response to the transmitted first type message, the transmitted second type message, or the transmitted third type message, an uplink data scheduling message. The WTRU transmits uplink data over an uplink channel based on the received uplink data scheduling message.

Recent joiners Lenovo, Verizon and Conversant suggest Via’s LTE pool is picking up momentum
Global September 14 2017
Patent pools in the wireless space have not enjoyed much success, but the recent news that Lenovo, Verizon and Conversant have signed up as licensors in Via’s LTE pool suggests that, at the very least, this licensing collective for fourth generation mobile technology needs to be taken seriously. The three new members join a list of patent owners that already includes AT&T, China Mobile Communications Corporation, Google and NTT DOCOMO.
Lenovo has joined both as a licensee and licensor, and its decision to sign up follows Via’s announcement earlier this year that it was changing the royalty rates for the pool in a move that benefited newer market entrants such as those from India and China.
The greater flexibility in Via’s pricing structure (it has also introduced differential rates for its AAC pool for audio compression technology) was highlighted by Lenovo vice president of IP Ira Blumberg in a statement announcing the news. In his comments Blumberg spoke of Via’s ability to “recognise and flexibly address unique market circumstances applicable to China and other emerging markets”.
Offering different rates and other licensing terms in the Chinese market, where some players are far smaller than the global smartphone giants and operate with much tighter margins in the highly competitive local market, has received a lot of attention of late. Earlier this year, Xiaomi’s head of IP strategy Paul Lin told this blog that licensors need to understand that what is FRAND in the US and Europe may not be considered so in China. Via’s recent progress suggests that it has got the message.
While the announcement that Lenovo had joined Via’s licensing pool was arguably the most significant, given its position in the Chinese market, Conversant’s decision to join was also notable because it is the first NPE to sign up. The company, which hired Boris Teksler as its CEO late last year, has a portfolio of almost 2,000 wireless patents formerly owned by Nokia, that it acquired in 2011.
Teksler, who left his position as CEO of Unwired Planet in 2016 after it was acquired by Optis UP and was an adviser to Via prior to joining Conversant, identified increased transparency and predictability in the licensing process as one motivation for joining the LTE pool. He also claimed that “historically, pools worked well with various audio and video standards and it is time that they were made to work again”.
“Intrinsically cellular pools can be made viable and Via has both the critical mass and expertise to make it work,” he added. “They represent an even keeled approach between licensees and licensors.”
Via’s LTE pool has been on something of a roll all year. In January it appointed Taraneh Maghamé, formerly senior IP licensing, strategy and standards counsel at Apple, to lead its expansion. It also added a number of new members in the first six months including Taiwanese semiconductor company Mediatek and then in March announced the new LTE royalty rate structure.
Via’s list of patent owners is certainly impressive and with Google and Lenovo, the pool portfolio includes the former Motorola Mobility assets. It does not however include any of the big four wireless licensors — Qualcomm, Ericsson, Nokia and InterDigital — who are generally considered to own many of the highest quality patents in the sector. That quartet have rejected most attempts to collectively license their wireless IP although three of them — Qualcomm, Ericsson and InterDigital — were among the early backers of Avanci, the licensing platform for 2G, 3G and 4G technology in specific Internet of Things (IoT) verticals.
Via President Joe Siino rejected the notion that those mobile pioneers needed to join the LTE pool for it to be considered a success. He claimed that the pool’s combined portfolio was larger than any of those companies’ individual portfolios, before adding: “If the end state is that there are two or three companies that are licensing these assets, Via and a couple others, that’s still a dramatically simplified marketplace relative to having so many different holders and so many different licensing risks.”
With Via’s recent success and the emergence of the Marconi Group’s Avanci and Velos Media licensing platforms, there’s a growing sense that a collective approach to licensing could help solve some of the problems of the industry which, in sectors like mobile, has been scarred by long-running and costly disputes between patent owners and potential licensees. According to Siino the market is experiencing a new stage in its evolution.
“It’s a different environment than a few years back,” he commented. “There’s a new realignment taking place where the battle lines are no longer between operating companies and NPEs. There’s a new dividing line that has emerged between companies of whatever background who really want to support a transparent and fair marketplace for IP and those that want to live in the shadows and avoid transparency and point the finger at the other guy, whichever side they’re on.”

LTE - Thank you for the posts relating to QCOM's license negotiations with AAPL. This kind of detail provides [IMHO] insight into the licensing trials and tribulations of the wireless sector and IDCC in particular.
QCOM Stock Should Be a Lot Cheaper Before You Buy
Vince Martin InvestorPlace September 15, 2017
The bad news continues for Qualcomm, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM), as QCOM stock continues to struggle, approaching a 52-week low.
But the decline in QCOM stock simply reflects the bad news facing the company. A contentious patent battle with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) rages on, with no end in sight. The company’s acquisition of NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ:NXPI) now looks as if it won’t close on time.
That’s just the recent headlines. The fact remains that Qualcomm wasn’t exactly healthy before the Apple news hit the stock early this year. Despite a strong 2016, QCOM stock entered 2017 still about 20% below all-time highs. Concerns about quickly decelerating growth in the smartphone market raised questions about Qualcomm’s own ability to grow profits.
It’s a toxic combination of a company facing near-term challenges and long-term questions. It’s why Qualcomm stock trades near a 52-week low – and why it deserves to.
Apple’s Impact On QCOM stock
It increasingly looks like the war between Apple and Qualcomm could drag on for years. Last week, Apple won a small battle, as Qualcomm’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit was denied in a federal court.
One court case aside, however, the royalty dispute creates significant risk for QCOM stock. Simply from a short-term standpoint, it creates an overhang on Qualcomm stock. Note that during Qualcomm’s last major dispute, with then-giant Nokia Oyj (ADR) (NYSE:NOK) in 2007-2008, QCOM stock stayed range-bound.
Long-term, however, there’s real reason for concern. Apple’s anger at Qualcomm opens room for Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) to gain share in LTE. Other licensees may similar stop paying royalties, with several analysts arguing that Chinese firm Huawei already has done so.
But, more broadly, the dispute centers around Qualcomm’s actual business model, and the way in which it structures royalties. With a number of tech giants already taking Apple’s side, Qualcomm’s model is at clear and significant risk. Given how much profit comes from licensing—in the range of 80% before the recent payment freezes—and at what margin (87% in fiscal Q2, again before the freezes), a wider royalty reduction would result in a significant reduction in Qualcomm earnings and a similarly significant reduction in Qualcomm stock.
The NXP Deal May Be In Trouble
In part due to its challenges with mobile, Qualcomm decided to acquire NXP Semiconductors last year. As Charles Payne wrote at the time, the deal made a lot of sense for both parties. For Qualcomm, NXP would diversify its revenue streams away from mobile, most notably into the fast-growing automotive space. Qualcomm stock rose on the news, and kept rising until the deal was officially announced. Investors liked the deal, and still like the automotive opportunity, as seen in the explosive rise of Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock over the past few years.
But the deal may be in trouble. NXP shareholders are looking for a higher bid, with NXPI now trading above the original $110 offer price. Qualcomm’s tender offer, through June, had attracted less than 8% of NXP shareholders.
And now regulators are taking a closer look. European Union regulators have paused the acquisition once again, saying they are still waiting for additional materials. At the least, that pause means that the close of the deal looks highly unlikely to hit Qualcomm’s target of the end of 2017. That, in turn, allows for more movement in the competitive, quickly-changing automotive space – without Qualcomm. While Intel is integrating its acquisition of Mobileye, Qualcomm still will be sitting out.
Meanwhile, if the deal does go through, Qualcomm likely has to pony up a little more, even without the cash from Apple and potentially other suppliers coming in. If the deal falls through, Qualcomm has to pay a $2 billion penalty in most cases, and QCOM stock will tumble. Many investors left with a growth-challenged, lawsuit-facing, smartphone technology business may decide to simply cut their losses.
QCOM Stock Isn’t Cheap Enough
There are real risks here. And yet the reward for taking those risks doesn’t look all that promising. Near $50, QCOM stock trades at about 12x FY17 analyst estimates. That’s pretty much the same multiple as Intel stock. Even assuming a deal with Apple comes and NXPI closes, QCOM’s EPS maybe gets over $5 per share. That in turn could get the stock toward $65-$70, at a similar or slightly higher multiple.
That’s a nice gain, something like 30-40%. But it also likely takes 2-3 years to get there. And if Apple winds up winning in court, and/or the NXP acquisition falls through, the downside is likely similar, if not worse.
Buying QCOM stock now basically is an argument that the issues here are short-term headwinds, and that Qualcomm will come out relatively unscathed on the other side. It’s possible but it’s not likely. And it surely isn’t likely enough to put money behind, at least not yet.

There's one big mystery still surrounding the iPhone
•Apple needs to address Gigabit LTE networks on Tuesday.
•Qualcomm provides modems that support the faster technology but Intel does not.
•Apple typically sources from both Qualcomm and Intel.
Todd Haselton | @robotodd
Published 10:04 AM ET Mon, 11 Sept 2017
Apple will likely unveil the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus during an event on Tuesday.
The tech giant will highlight a ton of new features. There's one important feature Apple needs to address: Gigabit LTE.
This term might sound like gibberish but listen up if you're interested in Apple's new iPhones: Qualcomm is currently the only chipmaker rolling out modems with support for the next-generation Gigabit LTE networks that carriers are beginning to roll out this year. Apple typically sources its modems from Qualcomm and Intel, but Intel hasn't launched its Gigabit LTE modems yet. It's a conundrum CNET first reported in April.
That means Apple is either using Qualcomm for all of its modems, which seems unlikely given that would cause supply constraints, it doesn't have plans for Gigabit LTE at all this year, or it has developed its own modem.
Gigabit LTE is a big deal.
It's almost like the move from 3G to 4G LTE. Instead of downloading movies in minutes, you'll be able to do so in seconds. This means streaming higher-quality video on the go without interruptions, faster document downloads while you're sitting in the airport and more.
Apple may sit on the sidelines, especially since the new networks are still in their infancy. However, folks who live in the first markets who own new Qualcomm Snapdragon 835-powered smartphones, such as the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, LG V30, Galaxy Note 8 and more, will be able to surf at fast speeds than the new iPhone.

olddog967 - Thank you and I want to add that I like your double dipping reference copied below:
...an argument was made that since IDCC had not reduced their claimed royalty rates, the setting up of a separate entity to license infrastructure patents was a form of double dipping
my3sons87 - You are correct in associating Signal Trust with wireless patents for infrastructure. But I do not understand how the Signal Trust patents get monetized.

Systems and methods for improved uplink coverage
Abstract
Systems and method are specified to improve the reception of UL transmission, for example in power or coverage limited situations. A WTRU may modify procedures to increase the available signal energy for reception at an eNB and/or to make more efficient use of the available signal energy at the receiver for processing UL transmissions. Example methods for increasing UL link coverage may include modifying HARQ timing (e.g., shorter HARQ), using longer TTIs, use of dedicated PUSCH allocations, use of new PUSCH modulations, enhanced reference signal design, UL macro diversity reception for PUSCH, utilizing protocol reduction techniques, ensuring in-order packet delivery, and/or utilizing a configuration for coverage limited/power limited modes of operation. The proposed methods may be applied individually or in any combination.

United States Patent 9,763,282
Pelletier , et al. September 12, 2017
Operating with multiple schedulers in a wireless system
Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for a WTRU to operate using multiple schedulers. The WTRU may exchange data with the network over more than one data path, such that each data path may use a radio interface connected to a different network node and each node may be associated with an independent scheduler. For example, a WTRU may establish a RRC connection between the WTRU and a network. The RRC connection may establish a first radio interface between the WTRU and a first serving site of the network and a second radio interface between the WTRU and a second serving site of the network. The RRC connection may be established between the WTRU and the MeNB and a control function may be established between the WTRU and the SCeNB. The WTRU may receive data from the network over the first radio interface or the second radio interface.

Qualcomm Loses Bid to Force Apple Manufacturers to Pay Royalties
By Tripp Mickle and Ted Greenwald Published September 08, 2017
A federal judge Friday denied Qualcomm Inc.'s motion for a preliminary injunction in its lawsuit against Apple Inc.'s leading manufacturers, allowing the manufacturers to continue withholding royalty payments as the case continues.
The decision was a small but expected victory for Apple in what is shaping up to be a multiyear battle with Qualcomm over royalty prices for technology used in iPhones and iPads. For Qualcomm, it was the latest setback to its profitable patent-licensing business.
In January, Apple sued Qualcomm in the Southern District of California over its licensing practices, alleging the leading supplier of chips for smartphones demanded unfair terms for its technology. Apple later filed suits in several overseas markets, including the United Kingdom, China, Japan and Taiwan.
In addition to ruling against Qualcomm in the contract manufacturers' case, Judge Gonzalo Curiel denied Qualcomm's motion to unify Apple's overseas suits.
Apple said it was pleased with the decision, adding, "Qualcomm must establish the fair value of its technology and defend its business practices in court."
A Qualcomm spokeswoman said, "While we are disappointed by today's rulings, we recognize that the motions involved high procedural hurdles."
Qualcomm's preliminary injunction motion sought to force the contract manufacturers to pay royalties as its legal dispute with Apple continued. It had tried to convince the court it faced irreparable harm if the manufacturers -- Taiwan-based Compal Electronics Inc., Foxconn Technology Group, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Pegatron Corp. and Wistron Corp. -- continued to withhold those payments.
Florian Mueller, an independent intellectual-property analyst, said it was difficult for the company, which has a market capitalization of $74.43 billion, to argue the business would suffer long-term damage if payments were withheld while the case continued.
"Any other decision than this one would have been a surprise," Mr. Mueller said.
Qualcomm collects a royalty on nearly every smartphone sold world-wide. It owns patents deemed essential to implementing cellular-communication standards, obligating the company to license such technology fairly and widely. Qualcomm says its patents relate to cellular devices as a whole, not just its chips, and thus charges a percentage of the price of an entire device.
The company's licensees and rivals, though, say Qualcomm's royalty rates are unreasonably high. Apple argues Qualcomm's practice allows it to benefit from unrelated technologies added to the iPhone, such as its Touch ID a fingerprint-verification system.
Qualcomm was paid $10 an iPhone by Apple's manufacturers, according to analysts' estimates, before the companies began withholding all royalty payments earlier this year. The withheld payments hit Qualcomm hard in its most recent quarter, triggering a 40% decline in profit from a year earlier.
In May, Qualcomm had sought to blunt potential losses by suing the manufacturers for failing to pay royalties after Apple stopped reimbursing the companies. The manufacturers, who make iPhones or iPads, fired back in July with a countersuit.
Separately, Qualcomm had sought to block Apple's efforts to bring similar lawsuits overseas. The judge's decision allows those cases to continue, forcing Qualcomm to argue its royalty practices are fair in at least four other countries.

Microsoft Modern Keyboard review: The sleek design and fingerprint scanner will cost you
We love its snappy keys and biometric features, but the lack of programmable keys is a bummer.

Microsoft’s sleek, elegant Modern Keyboard looks as good as its feels, with pleasingly clickable keys, a bevy of dedicated Windows keys and an ace up its sleeve: a built-in fingerprint reader. Our only gripes about this rechargeable, Bluetooth-enabled keypad are its lack of programmable keys and its lofty price tag.
Basic features
•Windows 10 compatible
•Bluetooth connectivity
•Built-in fingerprint scanner
•Rechargeable, with an advertised four months between charges
The Microsoft Modern Keyboard makes a striking first impression with its super-slim profile (just a shade over 19 millimeters) and its small footprint (about 16.6 x 4.4 inches). The steel-gray chassis represents quite a departure from those chunky black Microsoft keyboards of old, instead, bearing a striking resemblance to Apple’s Magic Keyboard, right down to its hefty $130 sticker price.
Connecting the Modern Keyboard to a Windows 10 machine is a breeze (sorry, Apple users; neither MacOS nor iOS are supported, nor is Android or any earlier Windows versions). Just connect the keyboard with the included USB cable, and Windows will automatically pair the keyboard via Bluetooth. The Modern Keyboard’s Bluetooth connection remained solid throughout my testing, and the keyboard never took more than a second to reconnect after going to sleep following periods of inactivity.
The chiclet-style keys on the rechargeable Modern Keyboard (Microsoft promises four months of use between charges) are a pleasure to use, boasting solid travel and a nice, satisfying click when struck. Despite the keyboard’s relatively small size, the keys themselves are comfortably spaced apart, and I rarely hit the wrong key while touch-typing.
The keyboard comes with a series of handy Windows hotkeys for the Windows 10 Settings screen, Search, the Windows 10 Calculator app, the Action Center, and a key that activates Windows 10’s Virtual Desktops feature. One dedicated key that could potentially trip up some numeric keypad users is the too-easy-to-tap Screen Lock key, which sits just above the minus key on the top-right corner of the keyboard. And while we’re pleased by the impressive selection of dedicated Windows keys, the lack of programmable keys comes as a disappointment.
The headline feature of the Microsoft Modern Keyboard is its fingerprint scanner, which sits just next to the right-side Alt key and looks like any other key, save for the fingerprint icon. The Modern Keyboard’s inconspicuous scanner works seamlessly with Windows Hello, Microsoft’s biometric sign-in feature that lets you log into your PC using facial recognition or, in this case, a fingerprint scanner. After you've connected the keyboard to your PC, just visit the Sign-in Options screen in Windows 10, then start adding fingerprints by repeatedly holding your finger on the scanner key. Once that’s done, you can sign in to Windows 10 by pressing your finger on the key.
I logged into Windows exclusively using the Modern Keyboard’s fingerprint scanner during my testing, and it missed only a couple of times in dozens of tries. That said, I generally had to wait a second and a half or so before my fingerprint granted me access to my PC.
Overall, I'm a big fan of the Microsoft Modern Keyboard, what with its striking design, responsive keys and integrated fingerprint scanner. That said, prepare to pay up for the convenience of signing in to Windows with a tap of the keyboard, and you'd have to settle for the lack of programmable keys, too.
