  • Patent number: 8537739
    Abstract: A base station transmits control message(s) to assign each of secondary cells to a cell group in a plurality of cell groups comprising a primary cell group and a secondary cell group. The base the base station transmits a control command to the wireless device. The control command is configurable to cause transmission of a first random access preamble on a secondary cell in the secondary cell group. The control command is unconfigurable to cause transmission of a second random access preamble on any secondary cell in the primary cell group.

  • Patent number: 8533122
    Abstract: A portable device transmits a payment card number to a merchant machine. The portable device generates an encrypted first message comprising a request to get information about a financial transaction. A packet filter maps the encrypted first message to a pre-established non-GBR bearer. The portable device generates a fourth message by encrypting the encrypted first message and transmits the fourth message. The portable device receives and decrypts a second encrypted message. The portable device decrypts the decrypted second message and sends financial transaction information to a display.

  • Patent number: 8526389
    Abstract: A wireless device receives a control command for transmission of a random access preamble on a first cell. The wireless device transmits the random access preamble in parallel with a first control packet, a second packet and/or a third packet. The wireless device determines a transmission power for the random access preamble. If a total calculated transmission power exceeds a predefined value, the wireless device reducing or scaling linear transmission power of one or more of the at least one parallel uplink transmission considering a higher priority for the transmission power of the random access preamble.

  • Publication number: 20130223381
    Abstract: A base station is configured to communicate employing a plurality of carriers comprising at least one prime carrier and at least one non-prime carrier. The base station may transmit a system frame number in a physical broadcast channel in a frame on a prime carrier. The base station may transmit and receive, employing a communication interface, packets in the frames on a non-prime carrier. The communication interface employs the system frame number transmitted in the frame of the prime carrier. The non-prime carrier is configured to operate without broadcasting the system frame number on the non-prime carrier.

  • Patent number: 8520497
    Abstract: A base station configures a first carrier group and a second carrier group in a wireless device. The wireless device transmits first uplink signals in the second carrier group employing a first additional carrier in the second carrier group as a timing reference carrier. The wireless device autonomously changes the timing reference carrier to a second additional carrier in the second carrier group. The second additional carrier is an active carrier different from the first additional carrier. The wireless device transmits second uplink signals in the second carrier group employing the second additional carrier as the timing reference carrier.
