A more efficient network can be achieved by leveraging an adaptive dejitter buffer. The dejitter buffer can be dynamically adjusted based off a network data analysis. A communication handover can be adjusted or shifted based on voice inactivity data related to a forecasted punctuation. The dejitter buffer memory/depth of a mobile device can also be adjusted in accordance with receiving a delay interruption length associated with another mobile device. Thereafter, the dejitter buffer memory can be filled with voice packet data to decrease a packet delay variation at the mobile device.

Embodiments may include methods, systems, and apparatuses for integrating a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The embodiments may include: gathering, by the WTRU, one or more metrics related to uplink/downlink transmissions; determining, based on the one or more metrics, that an amount of data from the first radio access technology should be offloaded to the second radio access technology; transmitting a first portion of the data to a base station using the first radio access technology; and transmitting a second portion of the data to a wireless local access network (WLAN) access point (AP) using the second radio access technology, wherein the WLAN AP is connected to the base station through an interface.

System and method for improving channel efficiency in a wireless link between an access-point transceiver and a first transceiver. The first transceiver may have a first data throughput rate that is lower than the maximum possible data throughput rate of the wireless link. The first transceiver may include a first receive buffer. An indication of the first data throughput rate and a size of the first receive buffer may be received and stored by the access-point transceiver.

The first data packet of the first size may be transmitted to the first transceiver by the access-point transceiver at a data rate that is higher than the first data throughput rate.

A method and apparatus for communicating streaming data in a Bluetooth-based wireless communication system is provided. An electronic device according to the present disclosure includes a communication interface configured to perform wireless Bluetooth communication with an external electronic device and a controller configured to control the communication interface, in which the controller is further configured to detect a communication state using a first packet data configuration and communicate with the external electronic device by using a second packet data configuration that is different from the first packet data configuration, based on the communication state.

The audio outputs 29 of each of a plurality of telecommunications terminals in a packet switched system are synchronized by having each terminal transmit a stream of packets whose rate, and therefore duration is determined according to a clock generator 25, and is thus indicative of the rate at which the terminal is generating its audio output. The signals from each terminal are transmitted to a common server. For each terminal, the server uses a master dock to compare the duration of the packet stream with an expected duration, and calculates an offset value which is returned to the respective terminal. Each terminal stores the offset value it receives (20) and uses it to adjust the output of its clock generator 25 so that its operations can be synchronized to the server. This allows all the terminals' digital-to-analog conversion processes to be synchronized such that all their analog outputs are coordinated, allowing co-located acoustic outputs to be synchronous. A second embodiment maintains synchronization by maintaining the volume of the data buffer 23 serving the audio output 29 within predetermined limits.

In an embodiment, in a control circuit that may be connected to and control a data transmitter, a method of transmitting data in a network may comprise receiving at least one feed-forward signal from the data transmitter, receiving at least one feedback signal from at least a first node of the network, comparing the at least one feed-forward signal with at least one threshold or condition, comparing the at least one feedback signal with at least one threshold or condition, and generating a signal indicating that a burst transmission should be started or stopped.

In one embodiment, the method includes the first UE receives a transport block from a second UE, wherein the transport block contains a MAC control element. In addition, the method includes the first UE triggers a BSR. The method also includes the first UE triggers and transmits a SR (Scheduling Request) to a base station when the first UE has no data available for transmission and has no uplink resource for transmission of the BSR. The method further includes the first UE triggers and transmits the BSR to the base station, wherein the BSR considers the MAC control element as part of buffer size.

A method of splitting files applied to an electronic device includes obtaining a single file from a predetermined location. The number of blocks into which the file is to be split is calculated using a preset formula according to a capacity of a send buffer of a memory of the electronic device and also a calculated probability of availability of a transmitting channel. The file is split into the number of blocks.

A window regulator for improving the performance of communications networks is described. In a communications network, data is sent downstream from a sender to a receiver, and acknowledgements are sent back upstream. When data is received at the receiver, the data is placed in a buffer and an acknowledgement of receipt may be sent. If no acknowledgement is received by a sender after a certain period of time, the sender retransmits the data. The receiver communicates how much data the receiver is willing to receive at any given time by sending an advertised window to the sender. The window regulator sets the size of the advertised window based on measurements of capacity in the network to improve the amount and rate of data sent downstream while avoiding loss of data and subsequent retransmissions.
