Abstract: Concepts and examples pertaining to enhancement for wireless local area network (WLAN) measurement in mobile communications, such as Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA), are described. A processor of an electronic apparatus receives a message from a network, with the message including a measurement object listing one or more WLANs associated with the electronic apparatus except for a first WLAN to which the electronic apparatus is communicatively connected. The processor performs measurement of one or more aspects of the one or more WLANs and the first WLAN. The processor also reports to the network a result of the measurement regarding the one or more WLANs and the first WLAN, even though the first WLAN was not listed in the measurement object received from the network.

Abstract: An enhanced RLC STATUS PDU format is used in a wireless communication network in which a sender transmits AMD PDUs to a receiver, and the receiver responds a STATUS PDU. In the STATUS PDU, an ACK_SN field is provided for indicating the SN of a next not received AMD PDU which is not reported as missing in the STATUS PDU, and an E1 field is provided for indicating whether a set of NACK_SN, E1, and E2 fields follows or not. The NACK_SN field indicates a AMD PDU that has been detected as lost at the receiver. The E2 field indicates whether a set of SOstart, SOend, and E2 fields follows or not. The SOstart field indicates the first byte in the AMD PDU with SN=NACK_SN that has been detected as lost. The SOend field indicates the last byte in the AMD PDU with SN=NACK_SN that has been detected as lost.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for reporting SRS in discontinuous reception and a wireless communication system thereof. The wireless communication system includes a user equipment (UE), a serving cell and a base station. The UE is for transmitting a periodic Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) and an aperiodic SRS, wherein the UE monitors a PDCCH in an active time. The serving cell has a serving range, wherein the UE is in the serving range of the serving cell. The base station is for performing connection to the UE and serving the serving cell. The UE transmits the aperiodic SRS no matter whether UE is in active time or not when the UE has been triggered to report the aperiodic SRS by a SRS request from the base station.

Abstract: A method for avoiding unnecessary excessive stay of short cycle in discontinuous reception mechanism begins by using the short cycle while the short cycle timer is running. Then, it determines whether the inactivity timer expires or not and whether the short cycle timer expires or not. If the inactivity timer expires but the short cycle timer does not expire, the short cycle is used. If the short cycle timer expires but the inactivity timer does not expire, the long cycle is used. If the inactivity timer and the short cycle timer expire at the same time, either the short cycle or the long cycle is selected for use.

Abstract: In a method for optimizing discontinuous reception mechanism in random access or scheduling request, the user equipment behaves according to a TTI window and a contention resolution timer so that the user equipment is at active time to monitor PDCCH. In the random access, the UE is at active time while a PDCCH indicating a new transmission addressed to the C-RNTI of the UE has not been received after successful reception of a Random Access Response for the non-contention preamble. In the scheduling request, the UE is at active time while an UL grant for the UE has not been received after SR has been sent.

Abstract: System and method for enhancing scheduling/priority handling and multiplexing on transmitting data of different logical channels includes a receiver and a processor. The receiver receives a payload unit. The processor processes payload unit and enhances scheduling/priority handling and multiplex from different logical channels. The processor calculates data that can be transmitted with available resource for each logical channel, prioritizes the logical channels with decreasing priority order, performs first round resource allocation without partition, prioritizes logical channels with remaining data that is not performed with first round resource allocation with strict decreasing priority order, and performs second round resource allocation with partition. As such, scheduling/priority handling and the multiplexing in a multiple carrier system will be carried out so as to increase the efficiency of resource allocation.

Abstract: A method for providing a buffer status report in a mobile communication network is implemented between a base station and a user equipment. When data arrives to buffers of the user equipment and the priority of a logical channel for the data is higher than those of other logical channels for existing data in the buffers, a short buffer status report associated with the buffer of a logical channel group corresponding to the arrival data is triggered. The user equipment is based on obtained resources allocated by the base station to fill all data of the buffer of the logical channel group in a Protocol Data Unit. If all data of the buffer of the logical channel group corresponding to the arrival data can be completely filled in the Protocol Data Unit, the short buffer status report is canceled. Otherwise, the user equipment transmits the short buffer status report.
