Patent number: RE45800Abstract: A system and method for physical shared channel allocation in a UMTS wireless communication system. A physical shared channel allocation message (220) is sent containing a plurality of occurrences of allocated physical resources and TFCS IDs; and, at a radio unit (130A), the sent physical shared channel allocation message is received and the plurality of occurrences of allocated physical resources and TFCS IDs contained therein are processed, thereby allowing a plurality of CCTrCHs to be allocated with a single physical shared channel allocation message (220). This provides the advantage that, using only a limited set of defined transport format combinations, a large portion of the physical resource can be allocated and used by a single UE using a single physical shared channel allocation message.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2011Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventor: Timothy James Speight

Patent number: RE46040Abstract: A wireless communication system and method employing channel transport format allocation in a shared uplink channel between a UE and a Node B, and wherein the UE can determine a transport format combination which it can support, by: detecting in the UE a change in transport format combination that the UE can support; and sending to the Node B an indication of transport format combination that the UE can support, whereby efficiency of channel transport format allocation in the system may be improved. A conditional delay mechanism may be employed to reduce signalling overhead. This allows uplink shared channels to be efficiently used by providing a means by which UTRAN (UMTS terrestrial radio access network) is informed of the TFCs within the TFCS which can be used in the uplink by the UE. A wireless network for configuring transport format combinations (TFCs) is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Golden Valley Holdings LimitedInventor: Timothy James Speight
