Abstract: The present invention proposes a mechanism to update/include the MAC Control information elements like PHR and BSR etc which are reported to ENB to schedule, maintain and operate the reporting UE. It also provides methods and means to handle Msg3 formation and reformation when RACH fails on one component carrier and is continued on another in Carrier Aggregation. New triggers for BSR and PHR reporting are provided in this scenario.

Abstract: The present invention provides a unique manner of identifying the Frame boundaries in multiple identical/non-identical Synchronization Channels (SCHs) in different sub-frames via a new sub frame position difference method. The method implements the differences between the different sub-frames carried by the SCH. The sub frame identity, and hence the frame boundary, can be identified by calculating the difference between the positions, based on time or number of slots/sub-frames or any data packets, of the two subsequent slots/sub-frames or any identical data packets.

Abstract: The method herein concerns Long Term Evolution (LTE) whereby the measurement Gap Scheduling is decided between the UE and the E-UTRA network. The measurement Gap Scheduling will be required whenever the UE is measuring an Inter Layer LTE cell or an Inter RAT cell. The minimum Gap pattern based system depends on the priority cell list. Accordingly, the UE chooses a minimum gap pattern and indicates the same to the network, when the UE is required a gap pattern. The network takes the UE recommendation and approves the same or suggests a proper Gap Mode. Also disclosed is the use of Blind Handovers in the LTE system. This is based on a Cell Priority list. The most prioritized cell is chosen for Blind HO, in order to improve the overall cell load/schedule condition.
