摘要:
The invention relates to a method for selecting or changing communications modes used by a terminal on a communications connection over a packet-switched data network where the communications mode can be based on either real-time or non-real-time transfer and where the service capacity varies locally or temporally. The invention further relates to a communications network arrangement utilizing the method, a communications network terminal, and a software means stored at a terminal.
摘要:
A method and an arrangement for subscriber location management among a group of radio networks comprising at least two radio networks (101, PMR1, PMR2) in which at least some of the subscribers (SBR1, SBR2, SBR3) may roam away from the home network and register in another radio network over the radio path. To enable centralized subscriber location management, the subscriber database (HLR) of one radio network (101) is arranged to maintain in a centralized manner the location data of all subscribers (SBR1) that have roamed outside their home networks and registered in another radio network (PMR2) at least with an accuracy of a radio network.

Apparatus, and an associated method, forms an integrated packet radio communication system. An integrated system is formed of portions of a GPRS system as well as portions of a WLAN system, such as that defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. A WIP (WLAN Integrated Protocol) layer is defined, functionally positioned between upper-level, GPRS layers and lower-level, WLAN layers. Advantages of a GPRS system as well as advantages of the WLAN system are maintained in the integrated system.
摘要:
A telephone connection is complemented with additional information by, after initiating the telephone connection between a transmitting telecommunication device and a receiving telecommunication device, composing, at the transmitting telecommunication device, a signalling message of predetermined form to be transmitted in association with the telecommunication connection. The signalling message contains the additional information. Within the signalling message there is indicated the intended receiving part within the receiving telecommunication device of at least part of the signalling message. The signalling message is transmitted from the transmitting telecommunciation device to the receiving telecomunication device.

A packet radio system encapsulates data packets of external data networks by a point-to-point protocol PPP (FIGS. 4A, 4B), and passes them through one or more sub-networks to a point which supports the protocol of the encapsulated data packet. In addition, a special radio link protocol of the packet radio network is required on the radio interface between a mobile data terminal equipment and a support node. PPP packets are encapsulated in data packets of said radio link protocol. The disadvantage of the arrangement is that the data packets of both the PPP protocol and the radio link protocol contain protocol-specific fields, which reduces the transmission capacity of user information. Therefore, a PPP packet is compressed (FIG. 4C) before the encapsulation (FIG. 4D) by removing therefrom the unnecessary control fields. After having been transferred over the radio interface, the PPP packet is decompresssed into its original format (FIGS. 4F, 4G).
摘要:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program for selecting one or more radio communication schemes for an end-to-end connection. Peers of the end-to-end connection negotiate (304), during establishment or operation of the end-to-end transport connection, about at least one transmission parameter of the end-to-end transport connection. Then, the peers select (306), amongst a plurality of wireless communication schemes supported by the wireless end-device, at least one wireless communication scheme capable of complying with the negotiated transmission parameters and, thus, available for use in the end-to-end transport connection.

The invention relates to a method for transmitting packet data in a cellular system. The number of time slots in a TDMA frame dedicated for packet transmission varies according to transmission needs and each logical channel consisting of corresponding time slots in consecutive TDMA frames is independent of the other logical channels. A data packet is encoded in an information channel frame consisting of N-1 information bursts, and between the frames there can be an acknowledge/retransmission request burst (ARQ) reporting that a received frame was error-free or requesting retransmission. Thus, the information channel consists of repeated sequences of N bursts. Also disclosed are the structure of a packet paging burst (PP), packet random access burst (PRA), packet access grant burst (PAG), acknowledge/retransmission request burst (ARQ) as well as the use of the bursts in starting and maintaining the transmission.
摘要:
The frame timing control of TDMA signals in cellular systems is implemented in mobile stations and/or base stations according to the invention so that the functions are divided between the frame timing control unit (1) and the microcontroller (2). In this way, the frame timing can be controlled in a flexible manner, for instance when moving from one TDMA cell type to another, without breaking the speech or data communication.

Transmission of delay tolerant data. An apparatus includes a processor configured to classify data, on the basis of its delay requirement, into delay tolerant data and into delay critical data, and to control transmission of the delay tolerant data with a transmitter in such a manner that the transmission of the delay tolerant data is timed to coincide with transmission of the delay critical data.
