摘要:
A device (100) for scheduling uplink transmission comprises a timing estimator (110) configured to estimate the timing with which data packets are being available for uplink transmission in a User Equipment, UE, on the user side, and an uplink scheduler (120) configured to perform uplink scheduling in accordance with the estimated timing. The device further comprises a detector (130) configured to detect lost time alignment of UE data packet availability and allocated resources for uplink transmission based on reception of a predefined UE response on the uplink data channel. The device also comprises a determiner (140) configured to determine, in response to lost time alignment, an updated estimate of the timing with which data packets are being available for uplink transmission in the UE based on information representative of an alignment interval within which data packets are being available for uplink transmission in the UE after detection of lost time alignment. The uplink scheduler (120) is configured to perform uplink scheduling in accordance with the updated estimate of the timing to re-establish time alignment of UE data packet availability and allocated resources for uplink transmission.
摘要:
Embodiments herein advantageously reduce the amount of control signalling and header information that must accompany an application layer message when transporting that message from a wireless device to a supporting application server via an intermediate node. To do so, the wireless device prepares a single radio block that includes the application layer message and an indication that the single radio block contains the entire application layer message. The device then sends a control message to the intermediate node that requests allocation of radio resources for sending the single radio block without establishing a temporary block flow (TBF). The device finally sends the single radio block using the allocated resources, without a TBF. Upon receiving the block, the intermediate node determines, based on the indication within the block, whether or not the block contains an entire application layer message. If so, the intermediate node forwards that application layer message towards the application server.

A method of accessing a communications channel, the method comprising: assigning a time transmission interval (TTI) and at least one temporary block flow (TBF) during an Access Grant Channel (AGCH) assignment; allocating an additional field in an Immediate Assignment message sent on the AGCH; using the additional field to simultaneously assign to a mobile station (MS) at least one temporary block flow on an uplink of the communications channel and at least one temporary block flow on a downlink of the communications channel.

A user equipment, a network node and methods thereof for timing of scheduling of resources in a frequency division duplex system are disclosed. The user equipment and network node operate in a frequency division duplex communication system. The network node determines (400) whether a user equipment is prohibited to receive an uplink grant in at least one downlink subframe, e.g. if the user equipment is configured with ABS or with half-duplex operation. Furthermore, if the user equipment is prohibited to receive an uplink grant in at least one downlink subframe, the network node sends (410) an indication to the user equipment to apply a time division duplex configuration to the timing of scheduling of resources. The user equipment receives (420) the indication and thereupon applies (430) the time division duplex configuration to the timing of scheduling of resources.

Methods and techniques for reducing both signaling and data traffic related to machine-type communication devices (MTC) in a GPRS communication network are disclosed. Optimized MTC messages from an MTC device are transmitted using Single-Block Packet Access procedures and restored by SGSNs based on a PDP context established during the mobile station's GPRS attach procedure.

A machine type device for deployment in a wireless network includes a processing circuit operable to generate an application layer message and a request including information identifying the machine type device as capable of using a particular protocol stack. After radio resources are setup between the machine type device and the base station controller, the processing circuit is further operable to transmit the application layer message and a local wireless network alias to a base station controller, the local wireless network alias indicating the machine type device is capable of using the particular protocol stack.
