摘要:
A base station subsystem (BSS) and a method are described herein for improving an Access Grant Channel (AGCH) capacity when a downlink Temporary Block Flow (TBF) is established for at least one mobile station, and used for sending the respective downlink payload. Plus, a mobile station (MS) and a method are described herein for improving the AGCH capacity when the mobile station is sent information required for establishing a downlink TBF on which it receives its respective downlink payload.
摘要:
A method for a GSM/EDGE node (105, 130), comprising establishing a TBF to another node and entering a transmit state in which data blocks are transmitted via said TBF to said other node. The transmit state is left if (205) there are no data blocks to transmit and positive ACK/NACKs have been received for transmitted data blocks, and, upon leaving said transmit state, a timer is started for the release of said TBF and a predefined TBF mode is entered in which the TBF is regarded (230) as released if the TBF release timer expires before data blocks are received by the network node to transmit to the other node, while, if data blocks are received by the network node to transmit to the receiving node, the predefined TBF mode is exited, the timer is stopped (225) and reset, and the first state is entered.
摘要:
A telecommunications node (e.g., base station subsystem) and method are described herein that broadcasts a set of system information messages (e.g., SI2quater messages or pairs of SI2ter messages and SI2quater messages) for use by a legacy mobile station which enhances the overall probability (over time) that the legacy mobile station (non-supporting mobile station) in a network sharing scenario will find frequency, cell information or a combination of both within the broadcasted system information messages to be used for the legacy mobile station's cell reselection process to provide continuity with the legacy mobile station's registered PLMN (i.e. the Common PLMN of a shared radio access network). In addition, the telecommunications node (e.g., base station subsystem) and method can also broadcast a different type of system information message for used by a supporting mobile station.
