Abstract: A method of configuring transmissions over a radio bearer between a base station and user equipment of a wireless telecommunication network, a base station, user equipment, a radio network controller and computer program products are disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a baseband processing assembly (100, 200, 300) for processing signals of at least one remote radio head (104), the at least one remote radio head (104) serving a radio cell (105) of a cellular communication system, the baseband processing assembly (100, 200, 300) comprising a set of user packet schedulers (107A-M) and a cell packet scheduler (109), wherein the cell packet scheduler (109) is assigned to the radio cell (105), wherein the set of user packet schedulers (107A-M) are assigned to a group of users (101A-N) associated to the radio cell (105), wherein the cell packet scheduler (109) and a first user packet scheduler (107A-M) of the set of user packet schedulers (107A-M) are operable to mutually exchange data for providing resource assignment information and establishing a channel (102) with a first user (101A-N) of the group of users using the resource assignment information.

Abstract: A method of controlling uplink transmission on an acquired common channel by user equipment in a wireless communications network. User equipment and a computer program product operable to perform that method. The method comprises: determining a predetermined acquired common channel retention period; requesting allocation of common network resource for an uplink transmission; receiving an indication of an allocated acquired common channel; assessing whether said uplink transmission meets uplink criteria for said allocated acquired common channel and, if said uplink criteria are met, transmitting said uplink transmission on said allocated acquired common channel within said common channel retention period. Aspects allow common channels in a network to be used by user equipment if it is determined that a pending uplink transmission is suitable for transmission on an allocated common channel.

Abstract: A method and system in which a UMTS base station determines if any UE has re-acquired a common Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH) resource, and responsively transmits a indicator toward an RNC that is adapted to cause the RNC to recognize the beginning of a new transmission session so that the RNC may responsively perform appropriate actions such as flushing the TSN re-ordering queue, restarting a MAC-is re-ordering algorithm and the like.

Abstract: The present subject matter discloses a method for sharing a enhanced uplink dedicated channel (E-DCH) resource from amongst a plurality of E-DCH resources on time multiplex basis. In one implementation, the method comprises receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a random access procedure (RAP) request for allocation of the common E-DCH resource from amongst a plurality of common E-DCH resources. The method further includes identifying the common E-DCH resource to be time multiplexed between a plurality of UEs based on the RAP request. The method also includes allocating the identified common E-DCH resource to the UE on a time multiplex basis, wherein the common E-DCH resource is shared among the plurality of UEs.

Abstract: The present subject matter discloses systems and methods for data transfer in communication networks. In one implementation, the method comprises determining a skew time based in part on a maximum skew time of the communication network and a probability of a data packet being delayed during transmission over the communication network. The method further includes detecting at least one missing data packet transmission and initiating retransmission of the at least one missing data packet after a time interval exceeding the determined skew time.
