  • Apparatus, method and computer program product providing uplink gain factor for high speed uplink packet access
    Patent number: 8885611
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and computer program products operate a radio network controller in a wireless communications system to determine a factor to be used by user equipment operative in the wireless communications network to determine a gain factor for an E-TFC based on the gain factor of a reference E-TFC; and to signal the factor to the user equipment. The radio network controller may select the factor based on at least one criterion. In another aspect, apparatus, methods and computer program products operate user equipment to receive a factor from a wireless communications network, and to use the factor transmitted by the wireless communications network to determine a gain factor that relates a data signal to be transmitted by the user equipment in a data channel and a control signal transmitted by the electronic device in a control channel, where the control signal transmitted in the control channel carries information for use in receiving the data signal.

  • Method of communication
    Patent number: 7583969
    Abstract: A method of communications in a cellular telecommunications network is disclosed. A cell update message is sent from a user equipment to a network node. The cell update message comprises a cell update cause. The cell update cause includes one of information indicating user data transmission or information indicating control data transmission, if the cause of the cell update is a uplink data transmission. A first procedure is used for data transmission if said information is user data transmission. A different second procedure is used for data transmission if said information is control data transmission.
