摘要:
Methods and techniques for reducing both signaling and data traffic related to machine-type communication devices (MTC) in a GPRS communication network are disclosed. Optimized MTC messages from an MTC device are transmitted using Single-Block Packet Access procedures and restored by SGSNs based on a PDP context established during the mobile station's GPRS attach procedure.
摘要:
A device type-dependent approach to access control is used to independently control network access by machine-type communication (MTC) and non-MTC devices. A plurality of access classes are defined for each device type. The base station selectively controls access to the network by each device type by sending an access control mask for each defined device type to the wireless terminals within the network.

In a GSM network, mobile stations monitor the paging channel of their respective paging group. Specifically, when a mobile station registers with the GSM network, the GSM network classifies the mobile station as belonging to one of two categories, a first category and a second category. Mobile stations belonging to the first category monitor the paging channel of their paging group at an interval defined by the GSM parameter BS-PA-MFRMS. Mobile stations belonging to the second category monitor the paging channel of their paging group at a second interval which is longer than that defined by the GSM parameter BS-PA-MFRMS.

A UE, an RBS and respective methods therein for managing uplink resources from an RBS in a wireless communication network are provided. The method in the UE comprises determining that uplink resources are needed, and determining which type of service for which the uplink resources are needed. The method further comprises transmitting, to the RBS, a scheduling request for a scheduling grant, the scheduling request comprising an indication of the type of service for which the scheduling grant is requested.

A device (100) for scheduling uplink transmission comprises a timing estimator (110) configured to estimate the timing with which data packets are being available for uplink transmission in a User Equipment, UE, on the user side, and an uplink scheduler (120) configured to perform uplink scheduling in accordance with the estimated timing. The device further comprises a detector (130) configured to detect lost time alignment of UE data packet availability and allocated resources for uplink transmission based on reception of a predefined UE response on the uplink data channel. The device also comprises a determiner (140) configured to determine, in response to lost time alignment, an updated estimate of the timing with which data packets are being available for uplink transmission in the UE based on information representative of an alignment interval within which data packets are being available for uplink transmission in the UE after detection of lost time alignment. The uplink scheduler (120) is configured to perform uplink scheduling in accordance with the updated estimate of the timing to re-establish time alignment of UE data packet availability and allocated resources for uplink transmission.
摘要:
A method performed in a radio network for determining a resource allocation between downlink and uplink for use in a radio interface between a radio network node and at least one mobile communication terminal in a mobile communication network. The method includes determining content types of a first established channel over the radio interface and of a second established channel over the radio interface, respectively. Downlink-to-uplink indicators associated with the respective content types are obtained. Resource usages of the first established channel and the second established channel, respectively, are obtained. Using the downlink-to-uplink indicators and the resource usages, a combined downlink-to-uplink ratio is determined. The combined downlink-to-uplink ratio is applied. A corresponding network node, computer program and computer program product are also presented.
摘要:
A method for use in a cellular access system is disclosed. The system comprises at least one Radio Base Station (RBS) which controls traffic to and from a cell in the system. The cell can have a User Equipment (UE) in it, such that the UE and RBS can send and receive data blocks, which may comprise sequence numbers, to and from each other. The RBS and UE can also exchange reports comprising information on whether or not data blocks have been received successfully. The method comprises sending by a reporting party a transmission comprising a report to the report receiving party, said report comprising information on whether or not data blocks have been received successfully. The method further comprises sending by the reporting party said report together with data to the report receiving party or to another party. The method further comprises attaching by the reporting party addresses for a recipient of the data blocks and for the report in the transmission. The method further comprises deciding by the reporting party the contents of the report using at least one of the following priority rules which have been given an internal priority ranking, in which data blocks which are identified as having a lower delay tolerance than other data blocks are given priority; data blocks which have been detected as received in error, and whose status has not been reported since the error was detected are given priority; and, data blocks are given priority according to their sequence numbers.
摘要:
A method (200) for a cellular system (100), with an RBS (120) which controls a cell (110) with User Equipments UE (130, 140). The RBS and the UEs exchange data which may comprise sequence numbers, and exchange reports on whether or not data has been received successfully, so that both the UE and the RBS can be the reporting party and the report receiving party. The reporting party sends a report (210) to the report receiving party on whether or not data has been received successfully, together with data to the report receiving party or to another party in the cell. The reporting party decides (220) the contents of the report using one of the following priority rules: Data with lower delay tolerance is given priority, Data detected as received in error is given priority, Data is given priority according to block sequence numbers.
