  • Patent number: 11997702
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for maintaining and implementing a dynamic uplink grant policy for a User Equipment (“UE”) connected to a base station of a radio access network (“RAN”) of a wireless telecommunications network. The dynamic uplink grant policy may be based on historical utilization of radio frequency (“RF”) resources granted to the UE, which may be based on a historical amount of padding (e.g., versus user plane data) included in uplink transmissions from the UE to one or more base stations associated with the wireless telecommunications network. The dynamic uplink grant policy may indicate an amount by which resource grants for a UE should be reduced, compared to an amount of resources requested by the UE.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050287949
    Abstract: A wireless communication unit communication transport path monitor (10) monitors (20) at least one wireless communication unit specific parameter, and in response a wireless communication system inactivity timer (11) is set (21) as a function, at least in part of the monitored wireless communication unit specific parameter. The inactivity timer for a given wireless communication unit tends to be shortened when a communication transport path experience is sufficiently consumptive of unit and/or system resources. Optionally, at least one wireless communication system specific parameter is monitored (22) and/or at least one fairness parameter is checked (23), and the inactivity timer is set (21) as a function at least in part of the system specific parameter(s) and the fairness parameter. Similarly, if a predetermined condition is met, the inactivity timer for a given wireless communication unit may not be shortened.
