Patent number: 7616636Abstract: Data blocks to be received each comprise a header and a data field including respectively first and second codes for error detection. The decoding of a signal segment received having first and second portions corresponding respectively to the header and to the data field of a block gave rise to a verification of the first code in the first portion. If the first code is correct, a check is made to verify whether the second portion of the decoded signal has a second correct code. A data block is considered to be detected either in the presence of first and second correct codes, or in the presence only of a first correct code when a data likelihood criterion, evaluated during the decoding of the second portion of the signal, is fulfilled.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2004Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Nidham Ben Rached, Stéphane Cayla, Arnaud De Lannoy

Patent number: 7551580Abstract: A radio telecommunications system and method of operating the same is described which provides a reduce delay for transfer of packet data. Before a data transmission is released in one direction (uplink or downlink) a channel is reserved in the other direction. The channel reservation may be held for a certain period of time, e.g. 5 seconds after which the channel is released. The present invention is particularly useful when there is a large asymmetry in data transfer between uplink and downlink.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2001Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Gilles du Crest, Stéphane Cayla

Patent number: 7400584Abstract: A cellular mobile radio network includes base stations, a packet control unit capable of communicating with a radio terminal via two or more base stations, and routing means for routing data between a remote unit and the packet control unit. The data transmitted by the remote unit to the terminal are stored temporarily in the packet control unit. The remote unit is adapted to receive from the terminal acknowledgments relating to transmitted data segments and to retransmit data segments that have not been acknowledged on the expiry of a retransmission time depending on the received acknowledgments. Data segments are transmitted from the remote unit to the terminal via a first base station connected to the packet control unit. In response to a request for communication transfer to a second base station connected to the packet control unit, only a portion of the data stored temporarily in the packet control unit is retransmitted to the terminal via the second base station.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2003Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventor: Stéphane Cayla
