摘要:
A system and method for minimizing signalling loads due to mutual exchanges of information between neighboring cells in which the same session is transmitted, and for reducing the time required to transmit MBMS neighbor cell information messages in a serving cell when a higher level of signalling occurs, wherein all broadcast control channel (BCCH) carriers indicated in a BCCH allocation are monitored by a mobile station (MS). A list of the cells having the strongest non-serving carriers is updated as often as the duration of the running average for measurements of the BCCH allocation. Base transceiver station identity codes (BSICs) and neighboring cell indexes of BCCH carriers are added to an uplink radio link control/medium access control (RLC/MAC) message that is transmitted to a network. As a result, the network is provided with the identity of which cell the mobile station is most likely to reselect to upon reception of the uplink RLC/MAC control message carrying the BSICs and neighboring cell indexes of the neighboring non-serving BCCH carriers of the mobile station.
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:
A system and method for minimizing the gap in service during the reception of an MBMS session due to the reselection of a neighboring cell in which that MBMS session is not ongoing, wherein a mobile station (MS) indicates its target cell and MBMS service id (i.e., BSIC, neighboring cell index, and Temporary MBMS Group Identity (TMGI)) to a network by sending this information to the network in an RLC/MAC message, e.g., a packet downlink ACK/NACK or with a new message. If the network has resources available for allocation, the network is permitted to allocate these resources for the MBMS session indicated by the MS and send corresponding MBMS neighbor cell information to the MS upon receipt of the packet downlink ACK/NACK or the new message. When the MS receives the MBMS neighbor cell information, it will then reselect to the target cell identified by the MBMS neighbor cell information.

The invention relates to control of transmission power in cellular networks, specifically in cells having transmitters in several frequency bands. The invention allows the network to control the maximum transmission power of a mobile station in more than one frequency band.
摘要:
Controlling the output power level of a dual transfer mode (DTM) capable terminal involves generating a network message. The network message may be a circuit-switched (CS) handover command and/or a point-to-point signaling message. A maximum output power level value is associated with the network message. The network message is transferred from the network to the terminal. A packet-switched (PS) output power level of the terminal is determined using the maximum output power level value received via the network message.
