摘要:
A method is presented for handing over a mobile device from a source base station to a target base station. A plurality of service data units are segmented, in the source base station, at a medium access control layer. The segments produced by the segmentation are transmitted, after which a handover command is issued to a user device. The segmentation can alternatively be performed at the user device.

The exemplary embodiments of the invention provide apparatus, methods and computer program products that enable improved sequence number handling in networks, such as an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN), for example. In one non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, a method includes: generating a sequence number offset value; and transmitting a protected message having the generated sequence number offset value over a wireless communication link from a first device towards a second device, wherein the generated sequence number offset value is for use by the second device in generating a sequence number for a subsequent transmission. As non-limiting examples, the first device may be one of a mobile station or a base station, the second device may be one of a mobile station, a base station or a center node, and if one of the first device or the second device is a mobile station then the other of the first device and the second device is not a mobile station. As another non-limiting example, the first device and the second device may be components of an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN). As further non-limiting examples, the first device may be one of an E-UTRAN node B (eNB) or a user equipment (UE), the second device may be one of an eNB, a UE or a service gateway, and if one of the first device or the second device is a UE then the other of the first device and the second device is not a UE.
摘要:
An approach includes detecting failure of an error detection scheme relating to transmission of data units of a transport block. A negative acknowledgement message is generated in response to the detection of the failure. The negative acknowledgement message is forwarded to a radio link controller for discarding one or more of the data units.
摘要:
A device for transmitting a message for reception by another device, comprising: a processor for adding location information to the message, before transmission, wherein the location information identifies an area within which the message is to be hosted for reception by the other device; and a transmitter for transmitting the message, with the location information.
摘要:
A method of allocating resources to cells of a cellular communication system comprising the steps of determining a load in at least one of the cells; selecting a resource reuse pattern from a set of resource reuse patterns based on the determined load; allocating resources in accordance with the selected resource reuse pattern.
摘要:
A method for allocation of multi-carrier transmission resources to terminal devices in a network cell of a radio access network, the transmission resources being dividable into symbol-duration time spans in a time domain and into a plurality of sub-carriers in a frequency domain, comprises allocating to a respective terminal device a group of consecutive symbol-duration time spans in the time domain and at least one respective sub-carrier block in the frequency domain, the at least one respective sub-carrier block being formed by a group of respective consecutive sub-carriers. The allocating comprises allocating a respective sub-carrier block and the group of symbol-duration time spans according to one respective allocation type, which is either a localized or a distributed allocation type, the localized allocation type allocating them to one respective terminal device, and the distributed allocation type allocating them to a respective set of terminal devices.

Apparatus, methods, computer program products and data structures are provided that enable effective in-band signaling and data structures for adaptive control and operation of segmentation. An exemplary method includes: determining, during an ongoing wireless communication, that a current communication scheme is to be changed to a new communication scheme including one of a new segmentation scheme or a new non-segmentation scheme; and sending a control protocol data unit (C-PDU) from a first device to a second device, wherein the C-PDU includes identification information identifying the new communication scheme and control information related to the new communication scheme.

A portable electronic device comprising: a user interface for providing an alert to a user; a memory for storing at least one value for each of a plurality of different context parameters; detection means for detecting a value for each of the plurality of different context parameters; and control means for determining when a detected value satisfies a rule involving a stored value for the same context parameter and for controlling the user interface to provide an alert. A portable electronic device comprising: a user interface for providing an alert to a user; detection means for detecting a context; a memory for storing a plurality of different trigger contexts; and control means for controlling the user interface to produce an alert when a detected context corresponds to a stored trigger context, wherein a context is defined by value(s) of one or more of a plurality of different context parameters.
摘要:
A network component for classifying at least one IP flow for efficient quality of service realization in a network, where in one embodiment the network component includes a unit for detecting at least one IP flow from at least one IP packet. Upon detection of the at least one IP flow, the unit obtains predefined information from the at least one IP packet to determine a quality of service requirement that is associated with the at least one IP packet. The unit creates at least one other IP flow by multiplexing a plurality of IP packets with the same quality of service requirement into the other IP flow or demultiplexing the plurality of IP packets with different quality of service requirements into other IP flows, each of the other IP flows having a different quality of service requirement.
