Patent number: 8787254Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: IPCom GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20140133466Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2014Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: IPCOM GMBH & CO.
