Patent number: 10313932Abstract: Various combinations of these teachings solve dual errors for a user equipment UE checking whether a private cell is allowed when handing over between serving and target cells, where the PLMN and/or list of EPLMNs of the serving and target cells may differ. The serving cell may send a one-bit indication that there is a change in a handover command or a system information SI6 message after which the UE may or may not refrain from reporting new cells until it performs a registration/location area update in the target cell. The target cell may trigger in the UE a registration update then provide the UE with the PLMN of the target cell. The serving cell can provide the PLMN of the target cell in a SI6 message or handover command, which the UE may use in place of or in addition to the PLMN/EPLMN of the serving cell when checking whether a private/closed subscriber group cell is allowed.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2015Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Avago Technologies International Sales Pte.

Patent number: 8879732Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment content of a data message to be sent on a control channel is determined, and a selection is made between ciphering and not ciphering the data message based on the determined content. By example if from the content it is determined that that the data message is a SMS message, ciphering is selected and the control channel is a SACCH; else ciphering is not selected. Such a determination may be made by checking a service access point identifier for a data block comprising the data message. A data message within a data block received on the control channel is determined to be ciphered or not ciphered using only information within the data block, and the received data message is processed according to the determination. In another embodiment the FACCH is selected for sending the message if it is a SMS, and ciphering is selected for all data blocks sent on the FACCH.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Harri A.

Publication number: 20140198639Abstract: A mobile station detects whether there is congestion in a cell by monitoring a first channel fix downlink messages and decoding the messages to see if the decoded messages indicate congestion, where the first channel is a common control channel (CCCH). For the case in which the mobile station determines from the decoded messages that there is no congestion, the mobile station initiates a random access procedure by transmitting a request message uplink on a random access channel (RACH). Else for the case in which the mobile station determines from the decoded messages that there is congestion, the mobile station waits for a waiting time before initiating a random access procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2013Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Harri A.

Patent number: 8725152Abstract: At a user equipment, individual ones of a set of measurements of neighbor cells are associated with individual code points which are relative to a threshold (301) and define a step size (303) that is dynamically determined from a set of possible step sizes. The code points to which the measurements are associated are compiled into a measurement report which is sent to a network. At the network, the code point step size (303) is sent to the user equipment which sends the measurement report to the network. The step size is thus dynamically determined from a set of possible step sizes. The network selects, based on the received measurement report, one of the neighbor cells for handover of the user equipment. In an embodiment, the threshold (301) is determined from an offset value sent by the network to the user equipment. Methods, apparatus, and stored computer programs are described for both user equipment and network side embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2009Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Harri Jokinen, Jurgen Hofmann
