  • Patent number: 10117164
    Abstract: A method for reselection of a cell in a wireless network comprises a) detecting that a level of a current serving cell is below a threshold defined for the current serving cell; b) determining the availability of a target cell at a lower or equal priority layer than the current serving cell; c) determining, for at least one available target cell at a lower or equal priority layer than the current serving cell, whether the available target cell has a level above a threshold defined for the available target cell; and d) selecting the available target cell if the determination at c) is affirmative; if the determination at c) is negative, using a hysteresis to select any target cell with a level better than the serving cell.

  • Patent number: 9294966
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for managing priorities are disclosed. A network sending broadcast and/or dedicated priorities to a mobile terminal may include priorities with respect to a radio access technology that does not support priority based reselection, such as for a legacy network that does not support priority based reselection. Priorities may be supplied to a mobile terminal to allow cell reselection decisions without using different cell reselection mechanisms in parallel. An indication of a plurality candidate cells with respect to cell reselection of a mobile terminal may be received and then a priority may be assigned to each candidate cells, where at least one candidate cell of the plurality of candidate cells does not support priority based cell reselection. The priorities may be provided to the mobile terminal.

  • Patent number: 8737365
    Abstract: A method of allocating uplink radio resources to a mobile device, in which uplink and downlink timeslots are allocated, and the sum of the allocated uplink timeslots and the allocated downlink timeslots within a predetermined period is less than the total number of assigned time slots and does not exceed a predetermined maximum. The resources are allocated in a reduced transmission time interval configuration, in which an indication of the uplink timeslot allocation is received from the network in a downlink timeslot, or downlink timeslot pair, directing the mobile device to transmit only in one uplink timeslot pair.

  • Patent number: 8611301
    Abstract: An indication is sent from a mobile station to a network regarding the capability of the mobile station to receive or transmit on two or more carriers simultaneously. The network determines an ideal multi-carrier multi-slot capability of the mobile station from an existing capability indication for single carrier transmission mode of the mobile station; and the mobile station sends in an additional field an indication in respect of a reduction in number of time slots from the ideal multi-carrier multi-slot capability determined by the network.

  • Patent number: 8494528
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided that may enable a network sending broadcast and/or dedicated priorities to a mobile terminal to also include priorities with respect to a RAT that does not support the priority algorithm. As such, for example, priority parameters for a legacy network that does not support the priority algorithm may be supplied to a mobile terminal to enable the mobile terminal to make cell reselection decisions without running two different cell reselection algorithms in parallel (e.g., a ranking based algorithm and a priority based algorithm). The provided method includes the steps of receiving an indication of a plurality candidate cells with respect to said cell reselection of a mobile terminal; assigning, toward each of said plurality of candidate cells, a priority, wherein at least one candidate cell of the plurality of candidate cells does not support priority based cell reselection; and providing said priorities to said mobile terminal.

  • Patent number: 8379530
    Abstract: An application encoder generates independently accessible symbols and these symbols are aggregated by symbol aggregation means into a packet payload. The aggregated symbols in the packet payload are transported in a defined packet structure. These packets are transported over a channel by a packet transmitter that segments the packets into different segments by segmentation means. A segment receiver included in a first entity has the ability to detect whether a certain segment is lost and also knows the length of the lost segment. The segments are aggregated in the first entity to form at least one packet conforming to the packet stream. A symbol parser entity recovers the symbols and passes the individual symbols to an application decoder. The symbol parser in the second entity recovers, from the recovered non-lost information of each received packet, individual symbols.

    Abstract: In mobile communications system comprising a network and at least one mobile station, a method for selecting a transport format combination TFC to be used for communication from the mobile station to the network, over a channel of variable quality. The method comprises the steps of: (in the network) calculating a channel quality requirement for the effective use of each transport format combination; indicating the transport format combinations and the channel quality requirements to the mobile station; calculating an existing quality of the channel; and indicating the existing quality of the channel to the mobile station. The method further comprises (in the mobile station), receiving the indication of existing channel quality; and selecting one of the transport format combinations having a channel quality requirement no greater that the existing channel quality.
