Abstract:
A method, apparatus and system are provided for controlling a scene structure of a mobile terminal for receiving and displaying data streams in a mobile broadcast system. When logical channels are multiplexed into one physical channel, the multiplexed channels are sequentially decoded and are displayed on an image. A channel circulation scene alternately displays the channels on one image in designated order. In a combination scene structure, a new node is added to a conventional Lightweight Application Scene Representation (LASeR) technology. To compose a scene, fields for time information and scene transition effect are provided. A delay time due to a channel change is reduced. A multi-channel image is effectively provided to address a problem when a user retrieves service content while directly switching a channel. The terminal dynamically composes the multi-channel image using stream source node information from a service provider without an additional mosaic channel.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for managing a preference channel are provided which can reduce a delay time when a channel change is made between preference channels, by storing a preference channel directly selected by a mobile terminal user in a mobile broadcast system. A mobile terminal receives and demultiplexes multiplexed logical channels on which data streams are transmitted from a service provider through a communication network. Preference channels of the demultiplexed logical channels are dynamically allocated to decoding buffers using stored information. A decoding time at which data of the decoding buffers is accessed and decoded is computed using reference information. A decoding operation is performed at the computed decoding time, and decoded channel-by-channel elementary streams are stored in a memory. The decoded channel-by-channel elementary streams stored in the memory are displayed on a screen of the mobile terminal.
Abstract:
A paging system and method for use in a multimedia/broadcast multicast service (MBMS). The paging system checks a paging indicator channel of a UE (User Equipment), and determines whether there is a paging signal associated with a broadcast service. If the paging signal associated with the broadcast service is detected, the paging system recognizes the channel information indicative of the paging fact, checks paging information included in an ID for differentiating between the broadcast service and other broadcast services and a paging response indicator adapted to determine a transmission channel scheme of the broadcast service, establishes a radio link, and receives control information using the radio link. The base station controller adapted to manage a cell including the UE transmits MBMS transmission scheme information to the UE in advance using the paging information, resulting in maximum use efficiency of RRC (Radio Resource Controller) resources.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for reducing excessive retransmission delays which may occur due to the loss of the last packet of a transmission buffer in a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer of a mobile communication system. The method includes receiving a Service Data Unit (SDU) from a higher layer, dividing the SDU into a plurality of Packet Data Units (PDUs), and storing the PDUs in a buffer, setting a poll bit for a last PDU from among the PDUs stored in the buffer, the poll bit requesting a status report, and repeatedly transmitting the last PDU having the setup poll bit at least twice from a sender to a receiver, regardless of whether there is a request for retransmission of the last PDU.

A method includes (1) receiving with a user equipment (UE) information related to an allowed power for autonomous transmission on at least one logical channel mapped to an uplink channel, the uplink channel being set up with a base station and dedicated for packet data transmission, (2) determining, with the UE and in accordance with a scheduling grant received from the base station, an allowed power of scheduled transmission on the uplink channel, (3) determining a total data amount allowed to be transmitted, (4) determining a data amount for the autonomous transmission on the logical channel, the determined autonomous transmission data amount being not greater than an allowed autonomous transmission data amount corresponding to the allowed autonomous transmission power, and (5) determining a data amount for scheduled transmission on the logical channel, the determined scheduled transmission data amount being not greater than an allowed scheduled transmission data amount corresponding to the allowed scheduled transmission power.
Abstract:
This invention provides a paging method for Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service in mobile communication system paging process and radio resource setup process are merged in this method to try to reduce uplink responses. This invention extends existing PCH IubFP frame structure by adding MBMS Indication bit(MI) to PCH IubFP frame. The PCH IubFP frame includes Paging Indication (PI) and Paging Message. Paging message carries MBMS service information. MBMS Service Identity or MBMS Paging Indicator is added to the reserved 12 bits in Paging Indicator Channel (PICH) frame structure. Radio Network Controller (RNC) transfers Paging Indicator Message and paging message to Base Station (Node B) so as to send over the air-interface.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for transferring preferred frequency information in a mobile communication system which establishes a preferred frequency layer and a non-preferred frequency layer for a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) service. The method involves the steps of determining at least one preferred frequency of the MBMS service when a session of the MBMS service starts, generating the preferred frequency information representing said at least one preferred frequency, and transmitting the preferred frequency information to at least one serving radio network controller for managing communication of user equipments intended to receive the MBMS service.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for determining transmission power of a second TFCI bit indicating transport format information of data on a downlink shared channel transmitted from a selected Node B to a UE in a mobile communication system including the UE existing in a handover zone and a plurality of Node Bs in an active set of the UE. The Node Bs transmit dedicated channel data including a first TFCI bit to the UE over dedicated channels. A first Node B transmits dedicated channel data over a dedicated channel and transmits downlink shared channel data over the downlink shared channel. The first Node B determines a transmission power level of the second TFCI bit to be higher than a ratio of transmission power of the dedicated channel data from a Node B transmitting only the dedicated channel data to transmission power of the first TFCI bit.

The method includes the steps of setting a WLAN threshold value, which is used for determining if a WLAN area is present in a cell, and a measurement period in system information, broadcasting the system information in the cell, and transmitting a common pilot channel, which indicates that the WLAN area is present in the cell, in a predetermined direction with predetermined transmission power to cover the WLAN area by using beam forming.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for scheduling uplink data transmission in a mobile communication system. The method and apparatus include a base station scheduler for efficiently allocating radio communication resources in a mobile communication system using an E-DCH or DCH. The method and apparatus further include a User Equipment (UE) for using both an E-DCH and a conventional DCH to efficiently select the data rate of the E-DCH and the data rate of the conventional DCH. The method and apparatus can maintain the total transmit power of the UE at the time of retransmission the same as the total transmit power of the UE at the time of initial transmission regardless of the existence or absence of the DCH, thereby minimizing the change in the quantity of interference generated in the uplink by the UE.
