A splitting scheduling system and method thereof for integrating heterogeneous network is provided. The system includes one or multiple wireless router, a mobile network core system, and a heterogeneous network router. When an external terminal device is located in a service covering range of the heterogeneous network router and the wireless router and the terminal device has a heterogeneous network integrating access condition, then the heterogeneous network router enables the terminal device to communicate with heterogeneous network router and the wireless router in the same time. The system further assigns a downlink traffic splitting ration to the terminal device according to individual communication status of the wireless router and the heterogeneous network router so as to provide a better communication quality.

A method and device for scheduling SR transmissions for a user equipment (UE) associated with an evolved Node B (eNB) of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The method includes determining an SR is to be transmitted to the LTE network, determining an uplink grant behavior of the eNB, when the uplink grant behavior of the eNB indicates that previous uplink grants satisfy a threshold of previous grants occurring in onDurations of the cycle of a C-DRX functionality, selecting one of the at least one SR opportunity that follows a next onDuration relative to when the indication is received and scheduling the SR in the one of the at least one SR opportunity that follows the next onDuration. The method further including determining an uplink grant turnaround time associated with the eNB, and selecting one of the at least one SR opportunity based on the uplink grant turnaround time.

A method and apparatus are disclosed to manage the enhanced medium access control-e (MAC-e) and enhanced MAC-es resources and respective variables for the enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) in the enhanced Cell_FACH state. Due to the nature of the E-DCH transmission in the uplink (UL) in the Cell_FACH state and the fact that a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) might set up and release the E-DCH resources more frequently, methods to deal with the TSN numbering are described.

A network device distributes a plurality of symbol blocks, received via a plurality of input streams, to a plurality of output links comprised in a defined connection according to a mapping of the symbol blocks to the output links. Responsive to an input stream of the plurality of input streams being empty such that an expected symbol block is not received, the network device distributes idle data to the output link mapped to the expected symbol block to maintain the mapping of the symbol blocks to the output links. The network device transmits the symbol blocks and idle data over the defined connection via the plurality of output links and according to the distribution.

Gateways transfer data between publishers and subscribers. Upon receiving an acquisition request for acquiring device-information from a subscriber, a first gateway stores, as routing-information, a matching condition for transferring device-information and a transfer-destination address, and transfers the acquisition request. Upon receiving device-information issued by a publisher, the second gateway stores the device-information in association with a reception time of the device-information, adds, to the routing information, a matching result including a source address of the device-information and the reception time, and transfers the device-information through gateways to the first gateway, according to the routing information. When the acquisition request includes a time condition related to past time, the first gateway generates an accumulating area for accumulating device-information, and when device-information is acquired in response to the acquisition request, accumulates the acquired device-information in the accumulating area, and transmits the accumulated device-information to the subscriber after a predetermined time has elapsed.

A method of operating a network server, such as a mobile application gateway, connect devices on a cellular or carrier network with individual networks, such as enterprise voice and data networks or residential networks. The effects of the present invention are far reaching in terms of transferring effective call control from the cellular network into the control of the individual network, such as the enterprise, and enabling new business models for the purchase of cellular service from a public cellular carrier by an enterprise.

A method for steering traffic performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system and a terminal using the method are provided. The method is characterized by: receiving first system information including a PLMN-ID list on which identities (ID) of a public land mobile network (PLMN) are listed according to a specific order; receiving second system information including RAN auxiliary information related to steering traffic between a first network and a second network; and steering traffic between the first and the second networks based on the first and second system information, wherein the second system information provides RAN auxiliary information for each PLMN, includes the same number of pieces of RAN auxiliary information as the number of PLMNs on the PLMN-ID list, and includes the RAN auxiliary information in the same order as the specific order of the PLMNs on the PLMN-ID list.
