摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing a message in a mobile telecommunications device. The method comprises: receiving a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message; determining whether the device has an empty C_RNTI variable; when the device has an empty C_RNTI variable, determining whether the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI; when the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI and the CUC message would cause the device to enter a state which requires the UE to respond to the message before entering the state, carrying out at least one further step prior to entering the state.

The present invention concerns a method for maintaining transparent mode radio bearers in a Radio Access Network (RAN) of a third generation mobile telecommunications network. The method relates to managing the radio resources allocated to a user equipment (UE) in said radio access network (RAN). The method generally comprises communicating a message from a radio resource controller (RRC) of the RAN to the UE where said message is arranged to instruct the UE to transition from a dedicated channel connection state to a lower activity connection state and to store in its memory transparent mode (TM) radio bearer (RB) information associated with said dedicated channel connection state. By storing TM RB information associated with the dedicated channel connection state, the UE can be reconfigured to the dedicated channel connection state without the RAN having to perform a radio bearer setup procedure.
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.

摘要:
Air interface management apparatus for use in network-based control of measurements made by mobile user equipment with respect to cells of the network is adapted to detect conflict in content of measurement control messages instructing the report of pathloss measurement values. Conflict is detected in particular where the message specifies: a) an identity for a triggering event for which the category or categories of cell to be measured is determined at the receiver solely by said identity and comprises detected set cells, or b) periodical measurement in respect of a detected set cell. Pathloss measurements are not possible in these cases. The apparatus provides a mechanism for dealing with detected conflict by blocking transmission of, or response to, a measurement control message giving rise to conflict. Alternatively, the message or the response may be modified to avoid the conflict.
