Abstract: A method of transmitting a message between user equipment and network equipment, user equipment and network equipment are disclosed. The method of transmitting a message between user equipment and network equipment in which the message comprises a message header and a message payload, the message header having a plurality of fields, comprises the steps of: setting an indicator field in the message header to indicate that a report providing scheduling information is included in the message payload; setting a secondary indicator field in the message header to indicate that, for at least some values of the secondary indicator field, an alternative report having alternative scheduling information is included in the message payload; and transmitting the message header and message payload. This enables alternative reports to be transmitted from the user equipment without reducing the number of allocatable logical channels or MAC CE types.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of managing coexisting packet streams (100, 110) in a wireless communication system, and a corresponding controller and a mobile terminal. A first packet stream (110) of the coexisting packet streams (100, 110) requires transmission resources of the wireless communication system at fixed time intervals, and a second packet stream (100) of the coexisting packet streams (100, 110) requires transmission resources of the wireless communication system at dynamically determined time intervals. A schedule defining allocations of transmission resources for the first packet stream (110) is set up. A request for an initial grant of transmission resources for a transmission of a data packet (101) of the second packet stream (100) is issued.

Abstract: A method for HARQ process allocation for DL SPS transmission between a base station and an UE, and a system thereof are disclosed. The method and system according to the present application achieve HARQ process allocation for DL SPS transmission, while improving the DS transmission chance and reducing the ambiguity between different SPS transmissions and between SPS transmission and DS transmission.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing interference in a relay device (1) and a mobile terminal (2) of a wireless relay network based on synchronous HARQ are provided. Wherein, the mobile terminal judges whether an uplink HARQ process will interfere with communication between the relay device and a base station (0) in a sub-frame, and if yes, the mobile terminal will suspend sending uplink signal for the uplink HARQ process in the sub-frame.

Abstract: A method, in a relay-based wireless communication system, for performing downlink ARQ process, is proposed according to the invention. The method comprises: the BS sends first data to the RS, the first data multiplexing second data for one or more terminal equipments; if the transmission of the first data fails, unsolicited ARQ process to the RS is triggered by the BS, so as to perform the retransmission of the first data; the RS demultiplexs the first data transmitted from the BS to generate the second data, and sends the demultiplexed second data to the terminal equipment; if the transmission of the second data fails, the unsolicited ARQ process to the terminal equipment is triggered by the RS, so as to perform the retransmission for the second data; and the terminal equipment receives the second data and triggers a passive ARQ process for the reception of the second data.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is proposed a method for HARQ process allocation for DL SPS transmission between a base station and an UE, and a system thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating HARQ buffer. The method comprises: receiving HARQ ACK; keeping HARQ buffer in response to the reception of the HARQ ACK; and flushing the HARQ buffer in the case of receiving no PDCCH message for a predetermined duration. With the methods of the present invention, it is possible to prevent any resource waster due to continuously keep HARQ buffer and to prevent any potential collision in uplink data transmission.

Abstract: A method of transmission between network equipment and user equipment, a method of network equipment transmission, a method of user equipment reception, a network equipment, an user equipment and a telecommunications system are disclosed. Packets transmitted over a channel containing information elements are multiplexed in accordance with a predetermined format in which each information element has an identifier which identifies that information element within that packet.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method of providing a VoIP connection through wireless communication links of a packet-based wireless communication system, and a corresponding base station and terminal. The wireless communication links comprise an uplink transmission path (2uc, 2us) from the terminal to the base station, and a downlink transmission path (2dc, 2ds) from the base station to the terminal. Each of the uplink and downlink transmission paths (2uc, 2us, 2dc, 2ds) have a control channel (2uc, 2dc) and at least one data channel (2us, 2ds). Control messages (20d, 21d, 220u, 221u, 230d, 250u, 260u) are generated for scheduling network resources and for suspending and/or re-issuing a persistent grant of network resources allocated to the VoIP connection.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of transmitting data from a plurality of traffic flows based on a quality of service indicator which indicates a manner of partitioning a rate grant such that more than one traffic flow, if desired, may simultaneously use the rate grant thereby avoiding rate grant starvation by one or more traffic flows. The method of transmitting data from a plurality of traffic flows comprises the steps of extracting data from one or more buffers based on the quality of service indicator and the rate grant, and transmitting a block of data comprising the extracted data wherein the one or more buffers are associated with one or more traffic flows.
