Patent number: 9001652Abstract: A method and an arrangement for transferring information including delay sensitive data, such as speech and video data, in a packet radio service is provided. Data blocks are transmitted from a mobile station to a radio resource entity during a first active data transfer period using an uplink temporary block flow (TBF) connection. The uplink TBF connection is maintained during a passive period that follows the first active data transfer period, wherein during the passive period the mobile station does not send data blocks to the radio resource entity.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Intellectual Ventures I LLCInventors: Mika Forssell, Janne Parantainen

Publication number: 20140153523Abstract: A method for choosing channel coding and/or interleaving scheme is applied in a communication connection over a radio interface between a terminal and a base station of a cellular packet radio system. A certain decision-making device allocates channel coding and/or interleaving schemes to communication connections. A request message is communicated (to the decision-making device, indicating a certain set of Quality of Service parameters associated with a certain first communication connection. The set of Quality of Service parameters is mapped to a certain first channel coding and/or interleaving scheme as a part of the channel coding and/or interleaving scheme allocation made by the decision-making device. The first channel coding and/or interleaving scheme is communicated to the base station and the terminal for them to apply said first channel coding and/or interleaving scheme in the first communication connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2014Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: Core Wireless Licensing S.A.R.L.Inventor: Janne PARANTAINEN

Patent number: 8077680Abstract: A packet-switched handover from a first cell to a second cell in a cellular network is discussed. Packet-switched services are provided for a mobile station in the first cell based on a set of information relating to provision of packet-switched services and a protocol for handling provision of packet-switched services for mobile stations, said protocol being a protocol between a cell and a respective control network element. In a control network element relating to the first cell a first message is received, which indicates a request for a packet-switched handover for a mobile station. In response to said first message, a second message is sent to the second cell. This second message requests creation of a set of information relating to provision of packet-switched services for the mobile station in the second cell, and the second message belongs to said protocol for handling provision of packet-switched services for mobile stations.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2004Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Nokia Siemens Networks OyInventors: Vlora Rexhepi, Guillaume Sebire, Shkumbin Hamiti, Janne Parantainen

Patent number: 8064912Abstract: The invention provides a method of handing over user equipment from a source cell to a target cell in a cellular communications network. The cellular communications system comprises a plurality of control units. The method comprises the steps of receiving a message indicating if the operation of the radio link control protocol is to be continued or reset when changing cell, resetting the operation of the radio link control protocol if the message indicates that the current radio link control protocol is to be reset, or continuing the operation of said radio link control protocol if the message indicates that the radio link control protocol is to be continued.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2007Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jussi Rajala, Mika Forssell, Janne Parantainen

Patent number: 8023461Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for increasing the flexibility of uplink resource allocation for a mobile station (MS) (100), that is backwards compatible with earlier standards that provide only a single data flow per MS. The method includes steps of (A) associating an allocated uplink resource (an Uplink State Flag (USF)) with one or more Temporary Block Flows (TBFs) for a Packet Data Channel (PDCH), and not with a MS per se (although a given USF is associated with only a single MS); and (B) using a Temporary Flow Identity (TFI) for identifying a TBF, where a TFI may be unique to a PDCH and, if not, is unique with respect to the MS on a PDCH (and hence with respect to the USF). The result is that the MS is enabled to send any of its TBFs on allocated resources of the same PDCH. An uplink resource may be allocated to the MS dynamically using the Uplink State Flag (USF) or by using a fixed allocation. A total of n Radio Bearers are associated with a single TBF, where n?1.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2008Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Raino Lintulampi, Janne Parantainen, Guillaume Sebire

Patent number: 7636337Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting data for a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) from a radio access network of a cellular communication network via a radio interface to mobile terminals located in a radio cell supplied by said radio access network. The radio access network transmits paging messages on a common control channel. It is proposed that a dedicated channel is employed for transmitting the MBMS data, which dedicated channel is allocated in a way that the mobile terminals are able to receive simultaneously paging messages and the MBMS data. The invention relates equally to a corresponding network entity, mobile terminal and communication system.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2002Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Janne Parantainen, Arto Leppisaari, Harri Jokinen

Patent number: 7394807Abstract: A method and a communication system which includes a first network element, e.g. portable terminal, connectable to a second network element. One of selectable modes is used for communication. A network element is adapted to perform a mode selection procedure for selecting the same mode for bidirectional communication between the network elements. The mode selection ensures the use of one and the same mode in uplink and downlink direction and thus enables e.g. IP telephony in UMTS using SIP protocol. The invention provides for facilitating a VoIP communication session by way of a radio link with a mobile station. The mobile station forms a QoS (Quality of Service) information element for communication to a radio access network portion. The QoS information element is indicating whether to remove packet header information of the data packets to be communicated upon the radio link pursuant to the communication session.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2001Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Shkumbin Hamiti, Janne Parantainen, Mikko Puuskari, Heikki Einola, Tuija Hurtta, Serge Haumont, Teemu Jäppinen, Marc Greis

Patent number: RE44316Abstract: When uplink signalling radio bearers steal capacity from a user bearer, at least the amount of data waiting for transmission on a TBF established for the user bearer should be informed to the network. This can be done by using separate countdown values for each radio bearer, using a first countdown value for the bearer the TBF was established for and a second countdown value which indicates the total amount of data on stealing bearers, or by calculating a common countdown value indicating the total amount of data on all bearers using the TBF.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2001Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Intellectual Ventures I LLCInventors: Janne Parantainen, Guillaume Sebire
