  • Patent number: 9332572
    Abstract: Systems and methods of pre-allocating identifiers to wireless devices for use in requesting resources over a random access channel are described. A wireless communication system includes a random access channel over which wireless devices can anonymously send requests for resources. The base stations receiving and processing the anonymous requests reduces the probability of random access channel collisions and conserves the resources needed to support the anonymous requests by pre-allocating one or more identifiers to select wireless devices. The wireless devices having the pre-allocated codes can transmit a particular code over the random access channel as a request for resources that uniquely identifies the requester.

  • Patent number: 9319924
    Abstract: A method for controlling effective time of a terminal trigger message is disclosed. The method includes: a mobility management unit receives a terminal trigger message from a Machine Type Communication (MTC) application server; and in a scenario of congestion control, the mobility management unit determines that a time value of a back-off timer is longer than a time value of an effective timer related to the terminal trigger message, and reconfigures the time value for the effective timer related to the terminal trigger message. A system for controlling effective time of a terminal trigger message is further disclosed. With the present disclosure, before the back-off timer of a terminal expires, a network can reserve the trigger message to avoid an unsuccessful trigger of the terminal, thus improving a success rate of triggering the terminal.

  • Patent number: 9320071
    Abstract: A UE 100 is connectable to an IP-CAN conforming to Internet protocol via any one of LTE supporting a service conforming to an IP multimedia subsystem and 3G not supporting the service conforming to the IP multimedia subsystem. In a case where the UE 100 receives a connection rejection notification from a SGSN capable of communicating with the IP multimedia subsystem after transitioning from LTE to 3G, the UE 100 suspends transmission of a request for reconnection to the IP access network only if the mobile station is camping in 3G through which the connection rejection notification has been received. Here, the connection rejection notification indicates that the UE 100 is not connectable to the IP multimedia subsystem.

  • Patent number: 9320053
    Abstract: Load measurements having low computational complexity are provided that give an effective load after interference suppression. The effective load after interference may be compared with the air interface load to determine interference suppression gains for different user constellations. The interference suppression gains may be stored in the form of a gain table that gives the expected interference suppression gains for different user constellations. The expected interference suppression gains may be used by a scheduler at a base station to predict the effective load for two or more candidate user constellations, and to select one of the candidate user constellations. Users are then scheduled according to the selected user constellation.
