摘要:
A method in a wireless communications device, including selecting (210) a cell, and after selection, configuring (230) the wireless communications device for a paging channel of a cell camped on previously using system information obtained for the cell camped on previously whether or not the selected cell is the same as the cell camped on previously. In some embodiments, updated system information is obtained for the selected cell if the selected cell is the same as the cell camped on previously, and the paging channel is reconfigured (250) based upon any updated system information obtained for the selected cell. In other embodiments, system information is obtained for the selected cell while the wireless communications device is configured for the paging channel of the cell camped on previously.
摘要:
Emergency call placement methods and apparatus for a user equipment in a wireless network are disclosed. The placement method includes detecting initiation of an emergency call during a non-idle connection mode of the user equipment (204), terminating the non-idle connection mode (206) and initiating a new connection for the emergency call (208). This method allows the new connection to use a location methodology to locate the user equipment in response to the emergency call. The disclosed wireless user equipment (102, 500) is configured to implement the disclosed method.
摘要:
While engaged in a dedicated channel, a User Equipment (UE) may get stuck on it. A method and the computer program product detects whether the UE is stuck on the dedicated channel (202). When it is detected that the UE is stuck, the UE or the corresponding network in which the dedicated channel is located carries out a local release of the UE from the dedicated channel (204), and the UE is placed in idle mode (206). Locally releasing the UE from the dedicated channel curtails unnecessary battery consumption in the UE and limits wastage of network resources and bandwidth.
摘要:
An emergency call placement method (300) used in user equipment in idle mode camped on a first cell of a wireless communication network having a first radio access technology includes the steps of requesting (316) a radio resource control connection using “emergency call” as an establishment request, changing (340, 350) to a new cell in a different location area or routing area than the first cell, and requesting again (316) a radio resource control connection using “emergency call” as an establishment request. This method avoids performing a location area update or a routing area update when the user equipment changes to a new cell during an emergency call and thus may speed up placement of the emergency call by several seconds.
摘要:
An apparatus and method of cell selection in a wireless network for a device operating on a serving cell. A quality threshold is received. A selected radio access technology is prioritized for reselection if at least one radio access technology neighbor cell meets basic criteria for a suitable cell and a computed value of a signal quality suitability criterion of the radio access technology neighbor cell exceeds the quality threshold.
摘要:
Reselection methods for wireless communication devices, for example cellular telephones, that reduce power consumption by receiving periodic paging information (210) concurrently with the performance of periodic signal measurements (230) and reselection processing (250) to increase minimal power consumption mode operation. In some embodiment, the reselection processing (252) is performed on prior signal measurements (230) while obtaining present signal measurement data (240).
摘要:
A method for a communication device to search for service from an alternate public land mobile network when a public land mobile network rejects a registration message from the communication device includes a first step of having the device roam to a visited public land mobile network (PLMN). A next step includes sending a registration message to the PLMN. A next step includes rejecting the registration message by the PLMN. This rejection can include ignoring the registration or sending an error message back to the device. A next step then includes searching for service from an alternate public land mobile network.
摘要:
A method for sending acknowledged transport data between a mobile station (202) and a base station system (208) in a GPRS system (200) in which a protocol control unit (214) counts the number of data blocks in an acknowledgement message sent by the mobile station in response to a data packet transmission. A heuristic is then defined, based on the number of data blocks counted, and the number of corresponding data blocks corresponding to a subsequent data packet transmission is compared with the heuristic to determine that a virtual acknowledgement channel is being requested when the number of corresponding data blocks in the subsequent packet data transmission is less than the heuristic.
