Patent number: 9654270Abstract: A method for a GSM/EDGE node (105, 130), comprising establishing a TBF to another node and entering a transmit state in which data blocks are transmitted via said TBF to said other node. The transmit state is left if (205) there are no data blocks to transmit and positive ACK/NACKs have been received for transmitted data blocks, and, upon leaving said transmit state, a timer is started for the release of said TBF and a predefined TBF mode is entered in which the TBF is regarded (230) as released if the TBF release timer expires before data blocks are received by the network node to transmit to the other node, while, if data blocks are received by the network node to transmit to the receiving node, the predefined TBF mode is exited, the timer is stopped (225) and reset, and the first state is entered.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Nicklas Johansson, John Walter Diachina, Paul Schliwa-Bertling, Daniel Widell

Patent number: 9521673Abstract: A method for resolving a Temporary Block Flow (TBF) in a wireless network including one or more mobile stations exchanging data with a base station system. The method comprises receiving a RLC/MAC block and retrieving a first TFI in the RLC/MAC header. The TFI is compared to an assigned TFI. The capability for the associated MS to resolve TBFs based on extended TFI addressing is determined. If the received first TFI matches assigned TFI and represents a comprehensive TFI for the associated MS, the payload of the RLC/MAC block is decoded. When the first TFI matches assigned TFI value and is identified as a code point to an eTFI, at least a predetermined field of the RLC data block is decoded and an extended TFI, eTFI, is retrieved. The eTFI is compared with an assigned eTFI. Following a match, the payload of the RLC data block is decoded.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Daniel Widell, John Walter Diachina, Stefan Eriksson Löwenmark, Paul Schliwa-Bertling, Mårten Sundberg

Patent number: 9480082Abstract: A method of operating a mobile station requesting uplink access from a base station subsystem includes transmitting a first access request to a base station subsystem, and looking for an assignment message matching the first access request from the base station subsystem during a response interval after transmitting the first access request. When an assignment message is not received during the response interval, a second access request is transmitted to the base station subsystem after expiration of a retransmission interval after transmitting the first access request, with the retransmission interval being longer than the response interval.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: John Walter Diachina, Daniel Widell, Paul Schliwa-Bertling

Patent number: 9094177Abstract: The invention relates to a method in a mobile network for resolving a Temporary Block Flow, a TBF, in a wireless network including one or more mobile stations exchanging data with a base station system. The packet data is transmitted by means of one or more RLC/MAC blocks each associated with the TBF. The TBF is identified by means of an Temporary Flow Identity, a TFI, and associated to an MS. The inventive method is applicable in a wireless communication system with an extended TFI addressing space.

Patent number: 8971204Abstract: A wireless communication network having received priority access requests on an access channel issues an implicit reject response on a grant channel, such as a flag or other value embedded in an explicit access grant or explicit access reject response. The implicit reject response applies to some or all outstanding low-priority access requests. At the expiration of a terminal's grant channel monitoring window, if it has detected an applicable implicit reject response but not an explicit response, the terminal will refrain from transmitting another access request for a predetermined or configurable duration. The implicit reject response may comprise a flag, or a value that implicitly rejects only a fraction of the outstanding low-priority access requests. The implicit reject response may comprise a duration that the terminal must wait prior to transmitting another access request, and may direct the terminal to directly monitor the grant channel without transmitting a subsequent access request.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: John Walter Diachina, Paul Schliwa-Bertling, Daniel Widell, Märten Sundberg, Eric Nordström
