  • Patent number: 9131474
    Abstract: Methods for allocating and choosing dedicated signatures for random access are provided. Options for allocating dedicated signatures include allocating the dedicated signature from the unused space of the random signature root index when there is unused space and allocating more dedicated signatures from the same root index using the same time/frequency resources if additional signatures are needed, and reserving some preambles from the contention-based random access preambles from both sets of preambles. The present invention also proposes that the dedicated signatures be reserved in each of two sets of preambles.

  • Patent number: 8908714
    Abstract: Selective DRX method on multiple CCs for a UE (320), at least one CC being configured with a PDCCH received from a base station (310) and arranged for scheduling resources on a physical shared channel to the UE on said at least one CC respectively and/or on at least one other CC, each CC having a respective active time during which the UE monitors or would monitor the reception of a PDCCH on said CC respectively if said CC is or was configured with a PDCCH. It is determined whether at least one CC is configured with a PDCCH arranged for scheduling resources on at least one other CC. If it is, the active time of said at least one CC is adjusted to the longest active time of said at least one CC and said at least one other CC. Otherwise, independent active times are maintained for all CCs respectively.
