  • Publication number: 20110200021
    Abstract: A wireless telecommunications system with mobile terminals, MSs and a Base Station, BS through which traffic to and from the MSs in a cell is routed, so that there can be Down Link, DL, traffic from the BS of a cell to the MSs in that cell, and Up Link, UL, traffic from those MSs to the BS. At least part of the UL traffic is contention based, and DL data to an MS must be acknowledged by the MS. The method comprises letting the BS detect MSs in the cell whose DL traffic rate exceeds a certain limit, and also comprises a mechanism for allocating to said detected MSs an UL bandwidth which enables them to acknowledge DL traffic within a certain time period from its reception by the MS.

  • Publication number: 20110164528
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a cellular system is provided. Communication is carried out between a controlling station of a cell and a number of users in said cell, and the controlling station is equipped with a plurality of antennas. The communication can alter between a first and a second mode, and the users in the cell provide the controlling station with feedback information regarding their reception quality. The controlling station alters between said first and second modes of communication as a result of the reliability of the feedback information from the users in the cell, so that if the reliability is above a first threshold, the first mode is used, and if the reliability is equal to or below said first threshold, the second mode is used.

  • Publication number: 20110117921
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method (400) for a cellular system (100), with a first node (110) which schedules traffic to and from users (120) in a cell (130). The first node uses a first channel (230) in a first kind of data frame (200) to transmit scheduling information to users in a cell. The first kind of data frame (200) comprises a plurality of symbols (210), a number of which are used for the first channel, and according to the invention the first node assigns (405) scheduling information to the symbols (210) in the first channel. The number of symbols used for the first channel is variable (410) and calculated (415) before the scheduling information is assigned to the symbols in the first channel, and is dependent (420) on the number of symbols were needed for scheduling information during a period of time before said calculation is made.

  • Publication number: 20110007698
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved procedure for synchronization of re-configuration of RRC procedures between the radio base station and the UE. This is achieved by associating a new configuration to be used by a UE with an additional UE identity. The UE is normally identified by a first UE identity, but is informed in a re-configuration message that the UE also has the additional UE identity. The UE is identified by the additional UE identity when the new configuration is to be activated. Hence, when the radio base station detects that the UE responds to requests, which included the additional UE identity, the radio base station can conclude that the UE has activated the new configuration.

  • Publication number: 20100290363
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method (300) for a cellular system (100) with a first node (110) which controls traffic to and from users (120) in a cell (130). Traffic between the users (120) and the first node (110) comprises user resources and control resources, with uplink traffic, comprising channels sent in data frames (200). Each data frame comprises a number of resource blocks (1, 2, 3, 4), and each uplink channel is allotted an amount of resource blocks in each data frame. At least part of the traffic between the users and the first node is divided (305) into first and second groups, and a cell's usage of the first and second group is monitored (310). The amount of resource blocks which is allotted to one of the uplink channels in a cell (130) is varied (315) depending on the cell's usage of these two groups.

  • Publication number: 20100260152
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for triggering a Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure for requesting uplink resources on a random access channel to a radio base station (600) scheduler based on a change in terminal (700) buffer status as compared to a Buffer Status Report BSR stored in said terminal. In a first method step, the status of the present terminal buffer content, i.e. terminal buffer data, is compared with the status of said stored buffer status report BSR. A second method step involves initiating a RACH procedure for indicating a service request to said base station scheduler upon detecting a change of buffer status at said comparison. The service request includes an indicator of the status change as a trigger for said scheduler to assign uplink resources to said terminal.

  • Publication number: 20100216483
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method (400) for use in a first node (110) in a wireless access communication system (100). According to the method, the first node controls (405) traffic to and from users, UEs (120), within a certain area in the system, a cell, and the first node is equipped (410) with a plurality of transmit antennas (111,113). The first node can employ (415) a variety of multi antenna transmit modes for down link transmissions, i.e. transmissions to the UEs, and the first node can carry (420) out a so called Random Access (RA) procedure with UEs which do not have a dedicated up link resource, i.e. a resource to the eNodeB. According to the method, one and the same down link multi antenna transmit mode is used by the first node during the RA procedure.

  • Patent number: 7672392
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable medium, a transmitter, a receiver and a transceiver include the transmitter and the receiver in a digital communication system for reducing the transmit power level when there is no user data is to send, i.e., when dummy data is sent instead. That is achieved by defining a symbol alphabet Q and scrambling a modulated bit stream including user data and dummy data with randomly generated symbols from the symbol alphabet Q.
