  • Publication number: 20220201545
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for communicating in a network from a first station, having at least one buffer memory for storing data packets to be transmitted for one or more group of logical channels, to a second station. The method performs steps of estimating the status of the at least one buffer memory, adapting a granularity of information included in a buffer status report representative of a buffer memory status where the adapting depends on the number of padding bits in a granted resource and transmitting the buffer status report.

  • Patent number: 10673509
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the signaling of channel quality information in a multi-beam transmission system, wherein a plurality of beams are simultaneously transmitted and a plurality of sets of channel quality information are transmitted for controlling independently the transmission rate on the different beams. Determined are beams with a different quality resulting in different effects of errors in the transmissions of the channel quality information for the beams. Said different effects are exploited for reducing a signaling overhead of the channel quality information for the beams.

  • Patent number: 10348613
    Abstract: A radio communication system comprises a communication channel for the transmission of data packets from a primary station having a plurality of antennas to a secondary station having at least one antenna. The channel comprises a plurality of paths, and the primary station transmits a plurality of packets substantially simultaneously. Each of the plurality of packets is transmitted via a different subset of the plurality of paths. The secondary station receives the plurality of data packets, determines whether each packet is received correctly and signals this determination as an acknowledgement or a negative acknowledgement to the primary station for each of the plurality of packets.

  • Patent number: 9954654
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for communicating in a network comprising at least one primary station communicating with at least one secondary station, comprising (a) the secondary station sending to the primary station a buffer status report representative of the amount of data in a buffer of the secondary station, (b) in absence of acknowledgement from the primary station, the secondary station retransmitting the buffer status report and, (c) if a maximum number of retransmissions has been reached, the secondary station sending a further buffer status report to the primary station.

    Abstract: A data signal is transmitted in a wireless communication system from a primary station to a secondary station. The data signal comprising a medium access control header (MAC-hs header) and a protocol data unit associated with the medium access control header. The medium access control header comprising a set at least one field (e.g. TSN, SEG, LI, FMT, LCid), wherein a size allocated to at least one field of the set is determined based on a length of the protocol data unit. For example, the size allocated to a segmentation indication field (SEG) determined for a protocol data unit of a first length is less than the size determined for a protocol data unit of a second length, the second length being higher than the first length, the segmentation indication depending on a number of segments that the protocol data unit is subdivided into.
