摘要： A method and apparatus for taking measurements in a mobile telecommunications system are disclosed, the system comprising a network of a plurality of cells and at least one user equipment device. The method comprises, at the user equipment device, receiving a measurement control set-up command and, in response the user equipment device, setting up the measurements. Then it monitors for a change in state of the UE and, in response to a change in state, issuing a measurement control pause command and, in response, the user equipment device stopping taking measurements, and maintains the measurement settings initialised previously. The device then monitors for a change in state of the UE and, in response to a change in state, issuing a measurement control resume command and, in response, the user equipment device resumes taking measurements with the maintained measurement settings.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for selecting a transport format combination utilized in a mechanism of a wireless communication network for multiplexing data units between logical channels and transport channels. Upon receiving a configuration table comprising logical and transport channel information, a logical channel size restriction, a transport format combination set, and a transport format set, a transport format selection mechanism prioritizes each transport channel, sorts the transport formats according to priority and minimum buffer occupancy; wherein associated with each sorted transport format is a minimum and maximum buffer occupancy, and transport format combinations which use a transport format of a size equal to or less than the maximum buffer occupancy. The transport format selection mechanism upon the presence of data units having a logical channel size at a logical channel selects a transport format combination by comparing the logical channel size with the minimum and maximum buffer occupancy of each sorted transport format associated with a transport channel associated with the logical channel, wherein each sorted transport format has associated therewith at least one transport format combination identified as not exceeding logical channel size restrictions so that a transport format combination having at least one transport format of the most compatible size can be selected.

摘要： Mobile user equipment for use in a cellular communications environment performs an improved cell selection on transitions out of a connected mode state. The transitions might be from one connected mode state to another or from a connected mode state to idle mode. The improvement in cell selection lies in assembling the list of candidate cells prior to cell selection. In the prior art, the list of candidate cells would usually be restricted to the serving cell or active cells supporting communication between the equipment and the network prior to transition. In embodiments of the invention, the list might comprise cells which are not the serving cell or which are outside the active set, for example a network-preferred cell or cells neighbouring the serving cell or cells of the active set.
