  • Publication number: 20110158181
    Abstract: A traffic plane entity (e.g., user plane entity (UPE), serving gateway (S-GW)) and method are described herein for allocating a unique identifier (e.g., UPE/S-GW UE-Context-Id) which identifies and unifies a set of bearers within a UE context that is associated with a given UE. In operation, the traffic plane entity can then send the allocated unique identifier to another entity (e.g., mobility management entity (MME)) which at a subsequent time re-sends the unique identifier back to the traffic plane entity along with a request to have the traffic plane entity perform a specific operation or procedure on the bearers associated with the UE context of the given UE. Upon receiving the request, the traffic plane entity uses the unique identifier to perform the requested operation or procedure simultaneously on all of the bearers associated with the UE context of the given UE.

  • Publication number: 20110021194
    Abstract: The invention therefore relates to a method, a first Mobility Control Node and a second Mobility Control Node for context handling when a user equipment, UE, moves from a previous Access Network, AN, to a present AN. The ANs are adapted to communicate with a Core Network, CN, and the UE is adapted to communicate wirelessly with the AN's. The method comprises the steps of: the UE detecting that it has entered a Mobility Area, MA, belonging to the present AN, said MA not being registered with the CN, the UE initiating a Mobility Area Update, MAU, procedure in response to the detection by sending a MAU Request message comprising an UE Temporary ID to a Radio Access Node, RAN, the RAN adding a Mobility Area Identity, MAI, to the Request message and forwarding the message to a first Mobility Control Node, MCN, responsible for the present AN, the first MCN deriving one second MCN from the UE Temporary ID and sending a context request message to said second MCN.

  • Publication number: 20100232391
    Abstract: The invention regards a handover method for a data packet based wireless mobile communications network. The network comprises a core network (CN) and a radio area network (RAN). The core network (CN) comprises a control plane node (MME) intercommunicating with a user plane node (UPE). The radio area network comprises a mobile user equipment (UE) intercommunicating with a source radio base transceiver station, eNOdeB, (source eNodeB), wherein payload data is routed via a tunnel between the user plane node (UPE) and the source eNodeB (source eNodeB), wherein the handover comprises the step of establishing a temporary tunnel between the user plane node (UPE) and a target eNodeB (target eNodeB), the handover being initiated by the target eNodeB (target eNodeB) transmitting an unreliable uplink data signal to the user plane node (UPE) comprising handover information.

  • Publication number: 20090238380
    Abstract: A discrete-time audio precompensation filter is designed based on a linear model that describes the dynamic response of a sound generating system at p>1 listening positions. The filter construction is based on providing information (S2) representative of n non-minimum phase zeros {z,} that are outside of the stability region |z|=1 in the complex frequency domain. A causal Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter, of user-specified degree d, having coefficients corresponding to a causal part of a delayed non-causal impulse response is determined (S4) based on the information representative of n non-minimum phase zeros.

  • Publication number: 20080316980
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement comprising a functional server node forming part of a conglomerate, or pool, of functional server nodes in common controlling a number of radio network control means, each functional server node being able to control any, or a number of, radio network control means, to which mobile stations are connected. The functional server nodes support transfer/redistribution of mobile stations between each other without interrupting the connection of the mobile stations, a target functional server node, to which it has been decided that a mobile station is to be transferred from a current functional server node, generates an area update or transfer acceptance message comprising an identification of the current functional server node, an identification of the target functional server node and a transfer indications. The invention also relates to a method of redistributing or transferring mobile station contexts.

  • Patent number: 7215787
    Abstract: The invention concerns digital audio precompensation, and particularly the design of digital precompensation filters. The invention proposes an audio precompensation filter design scheme that uses a novel class of design criteria. Briefly, filter parameters are determined based on a weighting between, on one hand, approximating the precompensation filter to a fixed, non-zero filter component and, on the other hand, approximating the precompensated model response to a reference system response. For design purposes, the precompensation filter is preferably regarded as being additively decomposed into a fixed, non-zero component and an adjustable compensator component. The fixed component is normally configured by the filter designer, whereas the adjustable compensator component is determined by optimizing a criterion function involving the above weighting.

  • Publication number: 20070091877
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system supporting data communication and comprising at least a first core network with a plurality of circuit switched (CS) core network functional server nodes and a second core network with a number of packet switched (PS) core network functional sever nodes for packet switched communication. The CS core nodes are arranged in a pool and an interface (Gs) between CS core nodes and PS core nodes is used for providing information to CS core nodes from PS core nodes relating to mobility related events provided from an MS to a PS core node. When a mobile station moves from a first CS core node to a second CS core node the PS core node to which the MS is connected is provided with information relating to the change from said first to said second CS core node.
