  • Publication number: 20240356680
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for Multicast/Broadcast Services (MBS). The embodiments described herein are directed to procedures for managing multiplexed MBS traffic, for prioritization between MBS related UL traffic, unicast UL traffic, and SL traffic, for handling HARQ retransmissions over C-RNTI, to support PDCP Status Reporting for MBS services, and for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) joining already started/activated Multicast Sessions. In one example, a WTRU may receive multiplexed MBS services via one or more MBS radio bearers (MRB) and/or one or more unicast data radio bearers (DRBs). The WTRU may be configured with a single Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) entity for the MBS services, and demultiplexing of traffic may be performed at the SDAP layer. The WTRU may be configured to demultiplex multiple logical channels across different MBS services, where the logical channels are received over the same transport block.

  • Patent number: 11240642
    Abstract: A communication method implemented on a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) communication network includes providing an attachment between a group member of a communication group and a group application server, detecting a detachment between the group member and the group application server, and reestablishing the attachment by the 3GPP communication network. A Mobility Management Entity (MME) may provide the attachment. A Group Communication Service Enabler Application Server (GCSE AS) or a Multipoint Service (MuSe) functionality may detect the detachment. The attachment may be reestablished according to the MuSe functionality. A group communication bearer may have a first priority level for allocating resources to the group communication bearer, and a second priority level for allocating resources to the non-group communication bearer. The second priority level may be different from the first priority level.

  • Patent number: 10945302
    Abstract: Circuit switched fallback (CSFB) requests may be managed. A mobile management entity (MME) can detect one or more pending CSFB requests. In response to detecting the pending CSFB request(s), the MME can generate a message that indicates the one or more pending CSFB requests, and can communicate the message to one of a mobile switching center (MSC) and a virtual location register (VLR).

  • Publication number: 20200382189
    Abstract: Multiple mobility sets are maintained for nodes of radio networks. The sets comprise information such as: transmit and receive point identities; cell identities; beam identities; frequency channels; channel bandwidth; and black lists. The sets may be defined at different levels, such as network and physical (PHY) level. A network mobility set, e.g., a new-radio (NR) mobility set may, be determined by the gNB, the cell, the UE, or another device. Multiple radio access network nodes and UEs may exchange mobility set information to achieve a distributed mobility solution. A UE may monitor its orientation relative to a TRP, e.g., via use of an onboard MEMS gyroscope, and alter its beamforming parameters in response to changes in orientation and/or changes in TRP connection strength. Cell selection and reselection for beam based networks may use Single Frequency Network (SFN) broadcast of initial access signals without beam sweeping.

  • Publication number: 20090316665
    Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for calculating a target connection frame number (CFN) for a data frame in wireless communications. An update to an offset between the CFN and a radio access network frame number is computed. A target CFN variable is incremented in response to a received timer signal. The value of an update variable is checked to determine whether a new value of the offset has been received since a previous update to the offset. A new target CFN is calculated using a current target CFN and the new value of the offset on a condition that the new value of the offset has been received. The current target CFN is set equal to the new target CFN.

  • Patent number: 7583653
    Abstract: A method for transmitting a data frame in a wireless communication system begins by creating a time of arrival (TOA) window, including a window start (WS) and a window end (WE). The TOA of the data frame at the air interface for transmission is determined, and further action is taken depending upon when the data frame arrives relative to the TOA window. The data frame is buffered if the TOA is before the WS. The data frame is transmitted if the TOA is within the TOA window. The data frame is discarded if the TOA is after the WE.

  • Publication number: 20090116442
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system using a reference channel used for error rate measurement and associated with a plurality of transport channels multiplexed on a coded composite transport channel (CCTrCH), a method is employed for reselection of the reference channel from favorable candidate transport channels. A channel is initially selected from the plurality of multiplexed channels as the reference channel. Channels are monitored based on quantitative data content criteria to determine whether an ON or OFF state exists. A different channel is selected from the plurality of multiplexed channels as the reselected RTrCH when a better candidate transport channel in the ON state becomes available, or when the monitored RTrCH reflects an OFF state.
