摘要:
Carrier pre-assignment is applied in multi-carrier handover operation to mitigate the impact to the user experience during handover and to achieve various objectives of call admission control in wireless multi-carrier OFDM networks. With carrier pre-assignment, a mobile station communicates its multi-carrier information to a target base station. The target base station pre-assigns secondary carriers to fulfill the requirements of the mobile station. In a first embodiment, a break-before-entry (BBE) multi-carrier handover procedure with carrier pre-assignment is provided. In a second embodiment, an entry-before-break (EBB) multi- carrier handover procedures for both inter-FA and intra-FA with carrier pre-assignment are provided. The multi-carrier handover procedures with carrier pre-assignment may be applied to 2-to-2 or N-to-N carriers handover situation. Because target secondary carriers are pre- assigned before handoff, the mobile station is ready for data transmission over multiple carriers after handover without additional carrier assignment procedure.

In a wireless OFDM multi-carrier communication system, a mobile station obtains measurement result of a first received signal strength indication (RSSI) of a first preamble signal transmitted from a base station over a first radio frequency (RF) carrier. The mobile station also obtains signal offset information between the first RF carrier and a second RF carrier of the base station. In response to the measurement result and the signal offset information, the mobile station estimates a second RSSI of a second preamble signal transmitted by the base station over the second RF carrier without performing scanning over the second RF carrier. In one novel aspect, the mobile station identifies a carrier group containing multiple carriers that belong to the same base station. Measurement optimization, initial cell selection and cell reselection optimization, report reduction, and other carrier group based optimization can be achieved in the multi-carrier system based on identified carrier group.

Various measurement configurations and s-Measure mechanism in multi-carrier OFDMA systems are provided. In one embodiment, a user equipment (UE) measures a first reference signal received power (RSRP) level in a primary serving cell (Pcell) over a primary component carrier (PCC). The UE also measures a second RSRP level in a secondary serving cell (Scell) over a secondary component carrier (SCC). The UE compares the first RSRP level with a first s-Measure value and compares the second RSRP level with a second s-Measure value. The UE then enables s- Measure mechanism and stops measuring neighbor cells over the PCC if the first RSRP level is higher than the first s-Measure value. The UE also enables s-Measure mechanism and stops measuring neighbor cells over the SCC if the second RSRP level is higher than the second s- Measure value. By having independent s-Measure mechanism and independent s-Measure value, maximum flexibility is achieved.

A method to realize IP flow mobility (IFOM) between 3GPP access and non-3GPP access over GTP based interfaces is proposed. A user equipment is connected to a PDN-GW via a 3GPP access network and a non-3GPP access network. The UE transmits an IFOM triggering message to the PDN-GW, which selects IP flows to be moved based on EPS bearer ID and IP flow description. The PDN-GW sends an Update Bearer Request to a WAG or ePDG, and updates its mapping table if the Update Bearer Request is successful. The UE also updates its mapping table upon receiving an IFOM acknowledgement from the WAG or ePDG. The PDN-GW initiates a 3GPP bearer modification procedure to move the selected IP flows.

A method of multi-radio interworking to provide integrated cellular and WLAN access for a multi-radio device is provided. A serving base station in a cellular network first obtains wireless local area network (WLAN) information and then forward the WLAN information to a serving device such that the serving device is capable to connect with both the cellular network and a WLAN. The WLAN information may comprise scanning information, WLAN QoS information, WLAN layer-3 information, or additional WLAN access point information. The WLAN information is forwarded based on triggering events associated with the serving base station information, WLAN coverage information, or the serving device information. Based on the received WLAN information, when entering WLAN coverage, the serving device activates its WLAN access to forward traffic from the cellular access network to the WLAN access network. When leaving WLAN coverage, the serving device deactivates its WLAN access to save power consumption.

A method of providing Local IP Access (LIPA) indication is proposed. In one novel aspect, an enhanced cell selection method is proposed using LIPA capability information. Based on LIPA capability related information, a UE is able to prioritize LIPA-capable cells and establish a corresponding packet data network (PDN) connection accordingly. In one embodiment, LIPA information is informed to the UE via Non Access Stratum (NAS) signaling. The UE stores LIPA capability information when receiving a NAS message from a mobility management entity (MME). Later on, when the UE performs cell selection or reselection in idle mode, the UE can use the stored LIPA capability information to prioritize LIPA-capable cells.

In a second embodiment, LIPA information is informed to the UE via broadcasting or unicasting Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.
摘要:
A Femto Base Station (FBS) includes a communication functionality and a reliability functionality. A control entity within the reliability functionality detects an FBS reliability compromising event (for example, an unscheduled loss of external power to the FBS). As a result of detecting the FBS reliability compromising event, the control entity sends a message (an "FBS Reliability Compromising Event Compensation Message" or "FBSRCECM") to the communication functionality. The FBSRCECM initiates an action that compensates for the FBS reliability compromising event. In many examples, the action is the initiating of a handover from the FBS to another base station. The reliability functionality typically includes a rechargeable battery that powers the FBS for a time until the handover is completed gracefully. By performing a graceful handover, cellular network reliability is improved as compared to situations in which a conventional FBS simply stops working and connections handled by the conventional FBS are broken.
