  • Publication number: 20140269680
    Abstract: A telecommunication system for bidirectional data transmission of a data set between a data transmission device and a data reception device via at least one packet-oriented network device, which includes encapsulation of the data set to enable a connection-oriented data transmission of the data set; connection-oriented transmission of the encapsulated data set by means of at least one mobile telephone from the data transmission device to a base station of a mobile telephone network; evaluation of the data encapsulation protocol in the base station for an unpacking of the data set to enable a packet-oriented data transmission of the data set; and packet-oriented transmission of the data set from the base station to the data reception device.

  • Patent number: 8787254
    Abstract: A method of operating a mobile wireless network is described to ensure proper function of protocol entities during the transmission of data units between two wireless stations of the mobile wireless network. In this case, user data is assembled by a first convergence protocol layer of the first wireless station into at least one first data unit, particularly a packet data unit, before transmission to a second convergence protocol layer of a second wireless station, particularly on the same protocol level, with the user data being supplied to the first convergence protocol layer by at least one user in a network layer. At least one protocol entity of the first convergence protocol layer is configured as a function of a configuration request received by the second wireless station, in order to form the at least one first data unit from the data received from the at least one user and to transmit it through a carrier to a link control layer.

  • Publication number: 20140133466
    Abstract: User data is transmitted between a mobile station (10) and a first base station (25), the user data being combined into data units, in particular packet data units, before being transmitted. For transmission of data units, transmission-specific information describing an instantaneous state of the transmission is stored in the mobile station (10) as well as in a first network unit (50) at a higher level than the first base station (25). With the relocation of the mobile station (10) from the first base station (25) to a second base station (30) having a second higher-level network unit (55), the transmission-specific information stored in the first higher-level network unit (50) is transmitted to the second higher-level network unit (55) to continue the transmission after the relocation essentially directly from its latest state.

  • Patent number: 8644221
    Abstract: A method of operating a mobile wireless network, in which, when there is a relocation, the connection may be continued directly from the latest state before the relocation. User data is transmitted between a mobile station and a first base station, the user data being combined into data units. For transmission of data units, transmission-specific information describing an instantaneous state of the transmission is stored in the mobile station, as well as in a first network unit at a higher level than the first base station. With the relocation of the mobile station from the first base station to a second base station having a second higher-level network unit, the transmission-specific information stored in the first higher-level network unit is transmitted to the second higher-level network unit to continue the transmission after the relocation essentially directly from its latest state.

  • Patent number: 8200835
    Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting data from a sender to a number of receivers. Also provided are an emitting and/or receiving unit and a communication system. The present invention seeks to provide a method, an emitting and/or receiving unit and a communication system for the efficient, resource saving and energy saving transmission of data to a group of receivers of a point-to-multipoint service. To this end, a point-to-multipoint service is carried out as an extension of a broadcast service CBS in a multi-layer protocol system, providing a multimedia transmission and/or a multicast service, preferably in the form of a multimedia broadcast/multicast service MBMS, during the distribution and/or planning of the use of system resources and the use of a discontinuous reception DRX.

  • Patent number: 8081587
    Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting user data messages from a network element of a radio communication system via at least one transmission channel to at least one subscriber terminal of the radio communication system, whereby the form of the user data messages is announced before the transmission thereof via planning information. The planning information includes a first planning message by which the transmission of the user data messages is announced via a first separate transmission channel, and a second planning message by which description information is transmitted via at least one second transmission channel, the description information indicating the form of the user data messages to be transmitted. The form of the user data messages to be transmitted can include the data type and/or the codification of the user data messages.
