Abstract:
A method of performing contention resolution associated with a random access procedure. The method according to one embodiment includes transmitting, by the mobile communication terminal, an uplink message containing a cell-radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) and starting a contention resolution timer; receiving, by the mobile communication terminal, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission; and considering, by the mobile communication terminal, a contention resolution successful and stopping the contention resolution timer if a specific condition is satisfied. The mobile communication terminal considers the contention resolution successful and stops the contention resolution timer if the PDCCH transmission is addressed to the C-RNTI and the random access procedure is initiated by a downlink (DL) data arrival. The mobile communication terminal considers the contention resolution successful and stops the contention resolution timer if the PDCCH transmission is addressed to the C-RNTI and contains an uplink (UL) grant.
Abstract:
According to one aspect of the present invention, a reporting method in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises: determining a service state; controlling positioning for acquiring position information based on the service state; acquiring information on the position of a terminal according to the positioning mode determined by said controlling; and reporting the acquired position information to a network.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of transmitting/receiving a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) is disclosed. The present invention enables ARQ and HARQ to be applied to the MBMS transmission, thereby enabling more efficient data transmissions at a greater rate.
Abstract:
A method of receiving packets at a network in a mobile communication system. Including receiving a first packet from a user equipment; and receiving a second packet from the user equipment regardless of a reception status for the first packet, if control information for the second packet is transmitted to the user equipment.
Abstract:
A method of processing control information in a mobile communication system is disclosed, by which an RRC connection setup can be quickly completed and by which control information can be processed without an unnecessary standby of a mobile terminal. The present invention includes the steps of receiving a plurality of protocol data units transmitted plural time from a transmitting side via one common logical channel by an RLC (radio link control) entity operating in a UM (unacknowledged mode) and having a receiving window and a timer, re-ordering a plurality of the received protocol data units using sequence numbers of a plurality of the received protocol data units, the receiving window and the timer, reassembling at least one service data unit by processing a plurality of the re-ordered protocol data units, and delivering the at least one service data unit.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for enabling a user equipment (UE) to transition between a non-discontinuous reception (Non-DRX) level and at least one discontinuous reception (DRX) level. The UE in a DRX level wakes up periodically to monitor a scheduling channel. The method includes receiving a DRX indicator in a Non-DRX level with continuously monitoring the scheduling channel and transitioning from the Non-DRX level to a DRX level indicated by the DRX indicator. The UE can transition between multiple DRX levels by an explicit command/signaling.
Abstract:
A method for operating a relay node in a wireless communication system. The method includes communicating, by the relay node, with a base station using a specific subframe for the relay node only; detecting, by the relay node, a problem with a connection between the relay node and the base station; starting, by the relay node, a timer upon detecting the problem with the connection between the relay node and the base station; and releasing, by the relay node, a restriction of using the specific subframe for the relay node only, if the started timer expires. The problem with the connection between the relay node and the base station is associated with a radio link failure.
Abstract:
A method for a user equipment (UE) to receive a downlink signal, the method including receiving a first downlink control channel identified by a temporary cell identifier (Temporary C-RNTI) from a base station, the first downlink control channel including a first downlink assignment signal having a new data indicator (NDI) with a first value; receiving a second downlink control channel identified by a cell identifier (C-RNTI) from the base station, the second downlink control channel including a second downlink assignment signal having the NDI with a second value; and determining if the NDI has been toggled compared to the NDI previously received from the base station. Further, the UE ignores the NDI with the first value received through the first downlink control channel identified by the temporary cell identifier (Temporary C-RNTI). The method also includes receiving the downlink signal based on the determining.

Abstract:
A method of processing data for a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) operation in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving a timing alignment command (TAC) and one or more uplink grants from a network; and generating a data unit. The one or more uplink grants are used for transmitting the generated data unit to the network. The method further includes starting a time alignment timer (TAT) upon receiving the TAC. The TAT is used to control how long a User Equipment (UE) is considered to have an uplink time that is aligned. The method further includes when the TAT expires, clearing the one or more uplink grants.
