Abstract: Methods are described for use in a mobile device such that when the mobile device is connected to a generic access network (GAN) cell, the mobile device receives information including characteristics pertaining to one or more neighbor cells in a network that are not GAN cells. The mobile device can then determine at least a list of candidate neighbor cells for handover from the GAN cell to a cell that is not a GAN cell as a function of the information. In some embodiments of the invention the network that is not a GAN is a UTRAN network and a candidate list of 3G cells are generated.

Abstract: In response to a transition of a mobile device from a first wireless access network to a second wireless access network, a mapping is applied to obtain a particular mobility state of the mobile device to use in the second wireless access network, where the mapping outputs the particular mobility state in response to information associated with mobility of the mobile device in the first wireless access network.

Abstract: A method, in a wireless communications device, for transitioning between communication states, the wireless communications device compliant for use in a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), the method comprising: checking for radio bearer mapping information for the communication state being transitioned to prior to sending an update message, where the transition between communication states is not a transition from a paging state to a bidirectional communication state using shared channels; and transitioning to the state to be transitioned to using the checked radio bearer mapping information for that state and sending the update message.

Abstract: In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for configuring signaling radio bearer information in a user equipment protocol stack. A wireless network may be used that includes a radio access network for transmitting information between a user equipment device and a core network. An instruction may be received to generate a signaling radio bearer configuration information element (IE) that includes configuration information for a pre-selected number of signaling radio bearers. The signaling radio bearer configuration IE may then be generated, while ensuring that the signaling radio bearer configuration IE includes configuration information for a required minimum number of signaling radio bearers. The signaling radio bearer configuration information element may be transmitted from the radio access network to the user equipment device for use in configuring the signaling radio bearers in the user equipment device.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE), comprising at least one component configured to support a handover during decreasing radio conditions, wherein an event is triggered using at least one of a time to trigger for rapid degradation or radio conditions (TTTrd) value and a filter coefficient for rapid degradation of radio conditions (FCrd) value that are different than the corresponding standard values indicated by a network. Also included is a UE, comprising at least one component configured to support a method comprising obtaining cell measurements using network indicated standard parameters and parameters configured for rapid degradation of radio conditions, monitoring radio conditions, and evaluating an event using the parameters configured for rapid degradation of radio conditions if rapid degradation of radio conditions is detected, or using the network indicated standard parameters otherwise.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a message in a mobile, telecommunications device. The method comprises: receiving a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message; determining whether the device has an empty C_RNTI variable; when the device has an empty C_RNTI variable, determining whether the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI; when the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI and the CUC message would cause the device to enter a state which requires the UE to respond to the message before entering the state, carrying out at least one further step prior to entering the state.

Abstract: Methods of assessing a cell to be a failed cell are provided that are based on the non-acquisition of system information. The method involves assessing whether or not a cell has failed as a function of whether, upon determining that system information needs to be acquired, the system information is acquired or not within a defined time period.
