摘要： In a mobile telecommunication system (10), a number of user equipments (40–45) may receive multimedia broadcast multicast services. The method for power allocation and user assignment for MBMS services determines any number (K) of user equipments which may be served without complete cell area coverage (78). For more than K user equipments (40–45) requesting MBMS services, dedicated channels are assigned (84). For user equipments requesting MBMS service during a broadcast, such user equipment is assigned to the channel (broadcast or dedicated) with the lower power requirement, if power is available. If the user is assigned to the broadcast channel, and power is available, power of the broadcast channel is adjusted (108). Otherwise, the power of the broadcast channel is increased and no further power is indicated as being available (112).

摘要： A communication system is provided that dynamically allocates power to a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (an MBMS service). In response to determining to establish a Point-to-Multipoint (PTM) communication channel to multiple user equipment (UEs), the communication service assigns the PTM communication channel to the MBMS service, determines a power requirement associated with each user equipment (UE) of the multiple UEs based on a handover quality measurement associated with the UE to produce multiple power requirements, and allocates a power level to the PTM communication channel based on the multiple power requirements. The communication system further dynamically adjusts the allocated power based on a handover quality measurement associated with a UE of the multiple UEs that is received during provision of the MBMS service.

摘要： A communication system conveys Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) data to multiple mobile stations (MSs) subscribing to an MBMS service while minimizing possible congestion over an Iub interface. A network controller receives at least one MBMS data packet comprising an MBMS payload. In response to receiving the at least one data packet, the network controller establishes communication channels to the multiple MSs for conveyance of MBMS data and conveys to a downstream network element, via an Iub interface, a single copy of the payload. The downstream network element replicates the received payload to produce a copy of the payload for each established communication channel. The downstream network element then assembles, in association with each established communication channel, a set of one or more data packets for conveyance via the established communication channel, wherein each set of data packets includes a copy of the payload.

摘要： A method and apparatus for performing mobility measurement in a communication network (100) is described. The method comprises of receiving a subframe sequence pattern from a node in the communication network (100). The subframe sequence pattern indicates types of subframes being transmitted by a neighboring cell node (104) in a neighboring cell (112). The method includes receiving a subframe from a sequence of subframes transmitted by the neighboring cell node (104) in the neighboring cell (112), and determining that the received subframe is a multicast subframe based on the subframe sequence pattern. The method then includes performing a single cell-specific reference symbol measurement in response to determining that the received subframe is the multicast subframe.

摘要： A method in a wireless communication device and an apparatus, such as a wireless communication device, for reporting a channel quality indication to non-serving cells. The device can operate on a shared channel on a serving cell. The device can send a channel quality indicator message on a medium access control layer to multiple candidate cells in an active set of cells. The device can then switch from the serving cell to a new serving cell from the multiple candidate cells based on information in the channel quality indicator message.
