摘要:
Systems, devices, methods and software according to these exemplary embodiments provide for reducing the number of different sequence numbers used to transmit radio link control, RLC, data blocks to avoid, for example, sequence number stalling. This can be accomplished by, for example, transmitting or receiving RLC protocol data unit, PDU, segments as the initial or original instance of data communication.

A method of performing congestion notification for a data transmission (10) from a sender (14) to a receiver (11) is described. Furthermore, nodes for such a transmission as well as methods of controlling such nodes are described. The data transmission involves a first node (12) and a second node (13) between said sender and receiver. The data packets pass from said second node to said first node towards said receiver. The method comprises: —sending (S82) a message (15) from said first node to said second node, said message relating to a decision on whether to notify said receiver of a congestion condition in said data transmission, —sending (S83) an explicit congestion notification (16) from said second node to said receiver if it is decided to notify said receiver of said congestion condition.

The present solution relates to a method in a user equipment (300) for configuring a cell change procedure to be used for handover in a wireless communication network (300). The user equipment (310) is situated in a serving cell (306) and comprises an active set of cells. The active set of cells comprises a list of cells to which the user equipment (310) can move from the serving cell (306). The user equipment (310) sends (501) a request to a network controller (315) comprised in the wireless communication network (300) to add at least one further cell to the active set. The user equipment (310) then receives (502) the requested active set update from the network controller (315). The received active set update comprises the at least one further cell to be added to the active set and a list of cells to which a modified cell change procedure shall be used for handover. A neighbour cell (308) which is stronger than a current serving cell (306) is detected (503). This detected stronger neighbour cell (308) is matching (504) with the received list of modified cell change procedure cells, and the modified cell change procedure for the handover to the stronger neighbour cell (308) is applied (505) if the stronger neighbour cell (308) is found matching a cell on the list.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for improving coverage in a wireless communications system. The object is achieved by a method in a sending node (210) for transmitting a data unit to a receiving node (220). The data unit comprises a number of bits. The sending node (210) and the receiving node (220) are both comprised in a wireless communications system (200). According to the method, the sending node (210) obtains (606, 810) a value n associated with the data unit. Then, the sending node (210) selects (608, 814) a transmission time instance depending on n, such that a function exists that uniquely associates the selected transmission time instance with n. Finally, the sending node (210) transmits (612, 818) the data unit to the receiving node (220) in the selected transmission time instance, without the value n.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for producing a compressed buffer status report (400) for use in a wireless network are disclosed. In several of the disclosed embodiments, a wireless terminal (160) forms a compressed buffer status report (400) that includes a field (410) of one or more bits that indicate an overall status corresponding to all or substantially all of the uplink data buffers for the wireless terminal (160), along with one or more fields (420) that indicate buffer status for specific corresponding radio bearers or groups of radio bearers. Accordingly, a small buffer report (410) may be sent in-band with the uplink data transmission, such as in headers (810) of one or more MAC packet data units (800), to convey information about the status of the wireless terminal's buffers, both for all the buffers (i.e., collectively), and for each of several high-priority radio bearers or groups of radio bearers.

The invention relates to a method and device in a communications network when a User Equipment, UE, needs to update a next expected Transmission Sequence Number, TSN, continuously in order to avoid discarding successive transmissions. The method comprises: resetting a next expected TSN value in said network and UE to predetermined values after a predetermined inactivity time.
摘要:
A radio base station suitable for performing a handover operation for a LTE-variant of a radio access network comprises a transceiver and a status report requester. The transceiver is configured to facilitate wireless transmission between the radio base station and a wireless terminal over an air interface, including transmission of a radio link bearer for the connection over a downlink from the radio base station to the wireless terminal. The status report requester is configured to determine, according to one or more pre-defined criteria, whether to request from the wireless terminal a status report for a radio bearer prior to the radio base station transferring user data for the connection to another radio base station in conjunction with a handover.

The invention relates to a technique for uplink data transmissions in, e.g., mobile networks. A method embodiment for performing the technique in a transmitter (122) comprises the steps of allocating, for a first transmission (T1′) as the transmission power for an uplink control channel (UCOCH), the smaller of an available transmission power and a desired transmission power for the uplink control channel; and allocating, for at least one subsequent transmission (T2′) triggered by a feedback indication (128), zero transmission power to the uplink control channel (UCOCH).
摘要:
Method and arrangement in a first node for requesting a status report from a second node. The first node and the second node are both comprised within a wireless communication network. The status report comprises positive and/or negative acknowledgement of data sent from the first node, to be received by the second node. The first node comprises a first counter configured to count the number of transmitted Protocol Data Units, PDUS, and a second counter configured to count the number of transmitted data bytes. The method and arrangements comprises initialising the first and the second counter to zero, transmitting data to be received by the second node, comparing the value of the first and the second counters with a first threshold limit value and a second threshold limit value and requesting a status report from the second node if any of the threshold limit values is reached or exceeded.
摘要:
A packet service enhancement mode (60) and packet service enhancer (35) is provided for operating a packet channel (25) existing over an air interface (27) between a base station node and a user equipment unit of a telecommunications network. As one aspect of the technology, a packet service enhancement method comprises performing a monitoring of a radio link connection carried by the packet channel and, in accordance with the monitoring, both modifying an operational parameter for the packet channel and dropping non-consecutive packets from the packet channel.
