摘要:
Signalling information is conveyed from a transmitting device (101) to a receiving device (102) in a cellular radio network where user data transmission takes place on a traffic channel in discrete transmission bursts (111-120; 211-220; 310-313) consisting of consecutive symbols. A piece of signalling information is formatted into symbols which are transmitted as a block of consecutive symbols (FACCH) in a certain transmission burst of a traffic channel. It is also indicated within said certain transmission burst that it contains symbols carrying signalling information.

A solution for the transmission of data in a time division multiple access (TDMA) based communication system is provided. A plurality of time slots in a TDMA frame is allocated to a subscriber unit for the transmission of speech data. The extra capacity provided to the subscriber unit is used for increasing the error tolerance of the speech data by adding extra redundancy to the speech data.

A method is presented for demodulating and decoding a block of received digital information consisting of a number of subblocks. One of a predefined number of demodulation methods is selected for demodulating each subblock and each subblock is demodulated with the demodulation method selected for it. The subblocks constituting a block of digital information are combined between their demodulation and the decoding of the block of digital information. Soft decoding is used to decode the block of digital information, wherein each subblock is converted to a sequence of soft decoding values associated with certain probabilities of allowed state transitions in the decoding process. For each subblock it is determined, after its demodulation, whether the correct demodulation method was selected for it. A subblock for which it is found that the correct demodulation method was not selected is converted to a sequence of neutral soft decoding values indicating equal probabilities for all allowed state transitions in the decoding process.
摘要:
A data transmission method and system for circuit switched and other services that can be employed in TDMA-based systems, and that supports the use of one or several types of modulation (e.g., 8-PSK modulation), in addition to a “normal” modulation (e.g., GMSK modulation) on a radio interface. An additional modulation/channel coding (e.g., one based on 8-PSK) may be used in the downlink transmission, while the normal modulation/channel coding (e.g., one based on GMSK) may be used in the uplink transmissions, under a variety of different conditions. A first condition arises where the radio conditions allow the use of the additional modulation in both directions, but the mobile station transmitter does not support it. A second condition arises where the radio conditions allow the use of the additional modulation in both directions, and the mobile station supports it, but the user requests a downlink-biased or uplink-biased data transmission service. A third condition arises where the mobile station supports the use of the additional modulation in both directions, but the uplink (or downlink) radio conditions do not permit the use of the additional modulation (e.g., because of link budget limitations.) Also, a lower data rate may be desired on the uplink in order to reduce the power consumption of the mobile station, and/or in the downlink direction to avoid unnecessary interference. This is especially true in the case that one direction or the other has less data to transmit, and the high speed data transmission mode is not required (even if supported).
摘要:
Generic service request signalling is defined where a multimode terminal is allowed to request any service that it supports in any of the modes (e.g., access technology like GERAN/UTRAN/CDMA2000/BlueTooth/WLAN/ . . . ) supported by the terminal. The network may then decide to move the terminal to other system if possible and necessary in order to establish the service. Mostly existing terminal capability indication for each system mode is used.

Embodiments of the invention provide apparatus, a method and a computer readable product for avoiding traffic congestion in a mobile communication system. In an exemplary embodiment there is provided an apparatus, including at least one controller and a memory storing a computer program which are arranged to receive and read a series of blocks on a first channel, to determine whether there is congestion on the basis of said series of blocks, and, in the event that the determination is that there is no congestion, to transmit a channel request on a second channel.

A method and a device are considered for implementing minimum activity during discontinuous transmission in a telecommunication connection used to carry a service. The service is allowed to involve transmitting upper-level scheduled silence-breaking transmissions at predetermined regular intervals during otherwise silent periods. There is determined (407, 408, 409) a maximum length of a silent period that is longer than the predetermined regular intervals between upper-level scheduled silence-breaking transmissions. A Layer 2 entity of a protocol stack observes (411) the occurrence of silent periods and transmits (412) a dummy block over the telecommunication connection if the length of an observed silent period reaches said maximum length without an upper-level scheduled silence-breaking transmission having been transmitted.
摘要:
A system and method for reducing idle mode power consumption for mobile stations (MS) that have joined a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) session and are waiting for the session to start. The invention is also directed to reducing the power consumption of an MS for which an MBMS session is inactive. In alternative aspects of the invention, the power consumption of mobile stations is reduced in the absence of ongoing MBMS session activity. Reduced power consumption is achieved by eliminating the need to read notification messages from an MBMS specific notification paging group when the notification message is for a different MBMS session than the paging group that the MS has currently joined.
摘要:
Techniques are presented for repetition on both uplink and downlink Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH) channels. For instance, an exemplary method is disclosed that is performed by a mobile node. The method includes receiving from a network node a first block of data over a downlink SACCH channel, and storing the first block of data. The method also includes, subsequent to receiving the first block of data, receiving from the network node a second block of data over the downlink SACCH channel. The method further includes attempting to decode the second block of data. The method additionally includes, in response to a failure in the attempt to decode the second block of data, combining into a combination the second block with the stored first block of data. The method also includes attempting to decode the combination.
