Abstract: The invention concerns a method for scheduling of service data intended to be sent from a base station (BS1) over radio interfaces to a user terminal (UE1) by means of at least one control message sent from the base station (BS1) to the user terminal (UE1), whereby said at least one control message comprises or allows for a determination of at least one of the orders when the user terminal (UE1) shall perform reception of downlink data and when and under which circumstances the user terminal (UE1) shall send HARQ feedback information in upcoming transmission time intervals (TTI), a base station (BS1), a user terminal (UE1) and a communication network therefor.

Abstract: Method for scheduling transmissions between a base station (BS) and user terminals (UE) by sending scheduling grants on physical downlink control channels in a subframe with a dedicated amount of control channel elements for each physical downlink control channel, wherein priorities of said transmissions between the base station (BS) and the user terminals (UE) are determined based on the dedicated amount of control channel elements for each physical downlink control channel, and the transmissions between the base station (BS) and the user terminals (UE) are scheduled in the order of said priorities, a base station and a communication network therefor.

Abstract: In a wireless network, for example, an LTE network, the context information relating to a mobile terminal UE is transmitted to a plurality of network nodes eNB 2, 3 and 4 from a source network node, eNB 1. One of the eNB 2 is a handover target node and also reserves resources for the UE in anticipation of receiving it after handover. The other eNBs 3 and 4 do not reserve resources. In the event of radio link failure, the UE may attach to one of the designated eNBs 3 and 4 that have not reserved resources, but that do recognize the UE because they have received its context. The method reduces the likelihood of the UE needing to go via the time consuming IDLE state while only reserving resources at a handover target eNB.

Abstract: A method for assigning of channel capacity to communication links in a cellular communication system and to an access controller for controlling the access of contending terminals to channel capacity of a cellular communication system is provided. One or more traffic parameters is determined for each of the communication links, and a requirement for channel capacity for each of the communication links is predicted based on the one or more traffic parameter. A channel capacity is then assigned to the communication link based on the predicted requirement.

Abstract: The invention relates to wireless communication networks, and to the way in which communication devices choose their transmission power when communicating with each other. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of controlling the transmission power of a first communication device in a wireless communications network based on the UMTS standard, the first communication device having established a HSDPA connection to a second communication device, whereby the absolute value of the difference between the HSDPA transmission power in a first transmission time interval (tti1) and the HSDPA transmission power in a subsequent second transmission time interval (tti2) is chosen to be smaller than a predetermined value (v). Furthermore, the invention relates to a node B which can carry out the method mentioned above, and power control means associated with said node B.

Abstract: In a point-to-multipoint system (SYS), particularly a video-on-demand system, comprising a send unit (SERVER) in the form of a server and a plurality of receive units (DEC) in the form of decoders, a new version of the system software for the decoders is to be transferred to the latter. This is done by taking the following steps: 1. An announce signal containing the information that the new system software or part thereof will subsequently be transferred is transmitted from the server to all decoders simultaneously. 2. The system software or part thereof is transferred in the form of data packets from the server to all decoders simultaneously. By the advance information in the form of an announce signal which is transmitted to all decoders by the broadcast method, the decoders are notified of the forthcoming transmission of the current version of the system software, whereupon they can prepare for the reception of the new version.

Abstract: A service-on-demand system (SYS) includes a facility (EIN) which is designed to assign transmission channels to terminals (END1, END2). To accomplish this, the facility (EIN) contains two interfaces (S1, S2) for connecting it to two groups of terminals (END1, END2), a memory (MEMO) which holds an assignment table containing entries on currently available and currently busy transmission channels for transmitting services requested from terminals (END1, END2), with a variable assignment of transmission channels to terminals (END1, END2) being possible regardless of which group the terminals (END1, END2) belong to, and a control unit (CTRL) which coordinates the assignment. Only those transmission channels can be assigned which are considered currently available in the memory (MEMO). The transmission channels are not permanently assigned to groups but are largely freely available to all terminals (END1, END2).
