摘要:
A method, in a wireless communications device, for transitioning between communication states, the wireless communications device compliant for use in a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), the method comprising: checking for radio bearer mapping information for the communication state being transitioned to prior to sending an update message, where the transition between communication states is not a transition from a paging state to a bidirectional communication state using shared channels; and transitioning to the state to be transitioned to using the checked radio bearer mapping information for that state and sending the update message.

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 neighboring the serving cell or cells of the active set.

A method and apparatus for handling URA information for a wireless communication device are disclosed. A method for handling URA information for a wireless communication device, the device configured to be operable in a mobile telecommunications system, the method comprising, at the device receiving a message to enter a new state, and initiating a URA update procedure dependent on the message not comprising a URA information.
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.
摘要:
Apparatus and a method for sending measurement report messages from a wireless telecommunications device to a wireless telecommunications network are disclosed. The method comprises at the wireless telecommunications device: generating a measurement report in respect of a first event; transmitting a first message including the measurement report in respect of the first event to the network; generating a subsequent measurement report for another event; determining whether conditions for the first event are still satisfied and, if so, including in a subsequent message the measurement report for the first event as well as the measurement report for the other event; and transmitting the subsequent message to the network.
摘要:
One illustrative method involves the steps of receiving a ciphering mode information message from a wireless network; identifying and processing valid radio bearer downlink ciphering activation time information in the ciphering mode information message when it is part of a security mode command message; and refraining from processing any valid radio bearer downlink ciphering activation time information in the ciphering mode information message when it is part of a message that is different from the security mode command message (i.e. when it is part of a radio network subsystem relocation procedure). The method may include the additional steps of producing valid radio bearer uplink ciphering activation time information for inclusion within a response message when the ciphering mode information message is part of the security mode command message; refraining from producing any valid radio bearer uplink ciphering activation time information when the ciphering mode information message is part of a message that is different from the security mode command message; and causing the response message to be sent to the wireless network.

The details of an apparatus and method are disclosed for processing a message which is missing a Ciphering Activation Time for DPCH when this is required, the message being one of a number of possible messages, namely a Radio Bearer Setup message, a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration message, a Radio Bearer Release message, a Transport Channel Reconfiguration message, a Physical Channel Reconfiguration message, a Cell Update Confirm message, a URA Update Confirm message and a UTRAN Mobility Information message.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for handling congestion in a mobile telecommunications system is described, the method comprising, at the user equipment monitoring messages from a cell for an indication of congestion and handing the congestion in a battery and signaling efficient manner. By one approach this comprises sending a first message to a cell, receiving a rejection (or failing to receive an acknowledgement of the message) within a period and in response, monitoring messages from the cell for an indication of congestion.
摘要:
A method at a user equipment for establishing a circuit switched call, the user equipment being in a Cell Forward Access CHannel (CELL_FACH) state, a Cell Paging CHannel (CELL_PCH) state or a UTRAN Registration Area Paging CHannel (URA_PCH) state, the method receiving an indication that a circuit switched call is pending; sending to a network element a message to facilitate the user equipment to transition to a Cell Dedicated CHannel (CELL_DCH) state, the message being one of a cell update message having a traffic volume indicator information element indicating that pending uplink data exceeds a threshold or an RRCConnectionRequest message; and establishing the circuit switched call.
