Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to an example embodiment, a technique may include storing, by a mobile station while in an active state, a neighborhood paging list, transitioning from active state to idle state, receiving a paging group ID from a local base station, determining that the paging group ID received from the local base station does not match any of the paging group IDs on the mobile station's neighborhood paging list, performing location update, updating the neighborhood paging list based on information received from the local base station, the updated neighborhood paging list including a paging group ID (PGID) identifying a local paging area corresponding to the local base station and a list of neighbor paging group IDs identifying one or more paging areas that are neighbors to the local paging area.

Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to an example embodiment, a method may include sending, by a base station in a wireless network, a paging message to a mobile station, the paging message identifying the mobile station. The method may also include receiving, at an offset time after the sending the paging message, a ranging request message from the mobile station, the offset time being based at least in part on an identifier of the mobile station.

A method, a computer program product and a network access node that operate to receive a message from a mobile relay node, the message including a request to add a particular paging group (PG) identification to a list of paging group identifications transmitted by the network access node; to contact a network backbone node to request permission to add the particular paging group identification to the list of paging group identifications transmitted by the network access node; and upon being granted permission, to add the particular paging group identification to the list of paging group identifications transmitted by the network node. The exemplary embodiments of this invention pertain also to the relay node and to the network backbone node. Through the use of the exemplary embodiments idle state user nodes that are attached to the mobile relay node do not see a change in the PG, since the particular PG is maintained by the mobile relay node and, therefore, the user nodes do not initiate a Location Update (LU) procedure when the relay node enters a new PG. Instead, only the mobile relay node performs the LU procedure with the network access node.

An apparatus comprising a controller configured to pack a plurality of Service Data Units (SDUs) from a plurality of connections associated with a Mobile Station (MS) into a single Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU). In various embodiments, the controller may be further configured to generate a Generic MAC Header (GMH) that indicates that a plurality of Service Data Units (SDUs) from a plurality of connections associated with a Mobile Station (MS) have been packed into the MAC PDU. In some embodiments, the controller may be further configured to generate, for each SDU, an associated Extended Packing Sub-Header (EPSH). The apparatus further comprising a memory configured to store MAC PDU. The apparatus also comprising a wireless transceiver configured to transmit the MAC PDU.
摘要:
An approach provides an error-control scheme within a multi-hop relay network. A determination is made of a first node that failed to transmit a packet generated according to an error-control scheme, wherein the first node is among a plurality of nodes configured to operate in a multi-hop network. Resources of the multi-hop network are reserved only for retransmission of the packet from the first node towards a destination node that is included in the plurality of nodes.
摘要:
Various embodiments are disclosed, which may include transmitting a transmission schedule for a data burst to a plurality of relay stations in a wireless relay network. The transmission schedule may identify a data channel for transmission of the data burst and a corresponding shared negative acknowledgment feedback channel for transmission of a negative acknowledgment. The negative acknowledgment feedback channel may be shared by the plurality of relay stations.
摘要:
A relay for use in a communications network. The relay is configured to receive data from and transmit data to at least one higher level node and receive data from and transmit data to at least one lower level node. The relay includes a processor configured to control the relay so that the relay is configured to enter a power saving mode.

摘要:
A relay node receives individual ones of a plurality of request messages destined for a network access node from individual ones of a plurality of user nodes; aggregates the received individual ones of the plurality of request messages into a single message at the relay node; and sends the single message to the network access node. The relay node further operates to receive from the network access node a single message that contains an aggregated plurality of response messages for individual ones of the user nodes and sends individual ones of the response messages to individual ones of the user nodes. The method advantageously handles the case of a mobile relay node, having a plurality of attached idle state mobile stations/subscriber stations, that transitions to a new paging group.

In the preferred embodiments, it is first determined whether or not a TCP connection from a sending device to a receiving device in the wireless communications network is in a slow start phase. If the TCP connection is in a slow start phase, then the data to be sent in the TCP connection that is allocated a priority that is higher than the priority allocated to other data to be sent by the sending device. The sending device may be a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a device in a Radio Access Network (RAN) or other network device, and the method of the preferred embodiments may be implemented by software installed and executed on the network device.
