Patent number: 8660561Abstract: A method and equipment by which a mobile station receiving a point-to-multicast (p-t-m) transmission from a radio access network (RAN) of a wireless communication system communicates information to the RAN of use in the mobile changing to a neighboring cell for receiving the p-t-m transmission; in particular, the mobile station indicates to the RAN whether cell reselection parameters for the neighboring cell have been received, and/or whether neighboring cell information indicating parameters for receiving the p-t-m transmission in the neighboring cell have also been received by the mobile. In a typical embodiment, the mobile would indicate not only whether parameters for receiving the p-t-m transmission in the neighboring cell have been received, but which set of parameters have been received. The information of use in the mobile changing to the neighboring cell is communicated to the RAN in an acknowledgment message uplinked on a packet access control channel.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2006Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Guillaume Sebire, Antti O.

Patent number: 8189515Abstract: A method provides for operating a wireless communication system having packet data capabilities, and includes steps of: (a) sending a message from a mobile station to a network on a same physical channel that is used to transmit packet data, the message specifying individual ones of packet system information (PSI) messages that are required for reception by the mobile station; and (b) in response to receiving the message, transmitting only the specified individual ones of the PSI messages from the network to the mobile station over the same physical channel used to transmit the packet data.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2006Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Antti O Kangas

Patent number: 7787444Abstract: A method and mobile terminal are disclosed for use in a wireless communication system in order for the mobile terminal to be able to transition from a dual mode, in which a packet switched connection and circuit switched connection are used together, to a single mode in which packets are transferred. The mobile terminal is for receiving minimum system information necessary to perform the transition in an uninterrupted manner, instead of an interrupted manner. This system information is broadcast to the mobile terminal on a regular basis, and is also sent to the mobile terminal partly or entirely by point-to-point transfer if a piece of the minimum system information is missing due to inadequate broadcast reception or some other reason. This system information is then employed by the mobile terminal to transition from the dual mode to the single mode in the uninterrupted manner.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2006Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Rami Vaittinen, Antti O.

Patent number: 7639641Abstract: A method operates, in at least one network control mode of operation (preferably NC2), for determining in a MS if a cell to which the MS is currently assigned has a first type of broadcast control channel (the PBCCH) and, if the cell does have the first type of broadcast control channel, for sending a PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT message to the network for reporting on neighbour cells identified in a list received from the PBCCH. If the cell does not have the PBCCH, the method instead sends a PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT message to the network for reporting on neighbour cells identified in a list received from a second type of broadcast control channel (BCCH). The type of list used by the MS is one of implicitly specified by the PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT message, or is explicitly specified by the PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT message.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2003Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Pasi Laitinen, Hannu Huusko, Antti O.

Patent number: 7623509Abstract: A method and terminal are disclosed for use in a wireless communication system, in order for the terminal to transition from a dual mode, in which a packet switched connection and circuit switched connection are used, to a single mode in which packets are transferred. The mobile terminal is for receiving minimum system information necessary to perform this transition in an uninterrupted manner. This system information is sent to the mobile terminal automatically or on a regular basis, and is additionally sent to the mobile terminal partly upon request of the mobile terminal. A release indication is sent to the terminal separately from the system information, notifying the terminal that the circuit switched connection will be released, at which point a timer is started. The system information is employed by the mobile terminal to transition from the dual mode in the uninterrupted manner, if the timer has not expired.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2004Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Rami Vaittinen, Antti O. Kangas

Patent number: 7613162Abstract: A mobile device, system, and method are disclosed for use in a wireless communication system during the mobile device's transition from a dual mode, in which a packet switched connection and circuit switched connection are used together, to a single mode in which packets are transferred. When the circuit switched connection is released, packet resources are allocated by converting timeslots used for circuit switched connection traffic into timeslots used for packet data traffic. Also included is a new alert signal within an existing message to the mobile device during the circuit switched connection release phase, before completion of the circuit switched connection release phase, in order to inform the mobile device that the converting step will occur after release of the circuit switched connection.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2005Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Rami Vaittinen, Antti O.

Patent number: 7450540Abstract: A method, system, and mobile station are presented for informing a packet control unit (PCU) whether the dual transfer mode (DTM) capable mobile station has an ongoing circuit switched connection and is in dedicated mode. The packet control unit will typically be located at a base station. Upon entering the dedicated mode, the mobile station alerts the PCU of entry into the dedicated mode, using a mobility management (MM) procedure. This mobility management procedure is utilized for alerting the PCU about the dedicated mode, regardless of physical movement of the mobile station such as movement from one cell to another.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2005Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Petri Grönberg, Antti O. Kangas

Patent number: 7421272Abstract: A method and corresponding equipment by which a mobile station (wireless terminal) is able to undergo handover to another cell of a telecommunication system, and continue to receive a point-to-multicast transmission (e.g. MBMS packets) without a delay otherwise caused because of having to receive a channel (e.g. PBCCH in case of MBMS) conveying system information in the new cell and so causing the mobile station to first obtain the bearer information/location for the system information channel. The method is based on the mobile station using information in a neighboring cell information message (e.g. the MNCI message in case of an MBMS session) or other message (possibly specially defined) before changing to the new cell to determine the bearer information for the system information channel in the new cell (and also obtaining from the neighboring cell information the bearer information for receiving the point-to-multipoint transmission in the new cell).Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2005Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Lars Dalsgaard, Antti O.
