摘要:
A first device (124) in a High Speed Downlink Packet Access environment (100) may generate a High Speed Down-link Shared Channel data frame (700, 730, 735, 750) that includes a group of packet data units, where a first packet data unit of the group of packet data units is of a different length than a second packet data unit of the group of packet data units.

摘要:
The invention relates to a radio base station (13) for handling Outer Loop Power Control of a user equipment (12) in a radio communications network of a multiple cell (10,11) High Speed Uplink Packet Access configuration: The user equipment (12) is connected to at least two cells (10,11) using at least two carriers, one cell per carrier, wherein the radio base station (13) reports number of hybrid automatic repeat requests of the two or more carriers to a network control node (14). The radio base station (13) and the network control node (14) are comprised in the radio communications network. The radio base station determines (401) a number of hybrid automatic repeat requests over a first carrier of the at least two or more carriers, and signals (402) a user plane frame to the network control node (14). The user plane frame comprises the determined number of hybrid automatic repeat requests and an identity associated to the first carrier, enabling the network control node (14) to control an Outer Loop Power Control parameter to be used in an Outer Loop Power Control process for the first carrier.

A method of operating a telecommunications node (28) through which packets of differing priority are conveyed comprises receiving plural data packets from a source external (26) to the node, the plural data packets including both ordinary packets and a priority packet; and storing the plural data packets in a queue structure (36) in order of arrival so that the priority packet is read out of the queue structure before the ordinary packets are read out of the queue structure (36), thereby expediting output of the priority packet from the node relative to the ordinary packets.

A device (124) receives information regarding allocation of an enhanced dedicated channel radio network temporary identifier (E-RNTI) (460) to user equipment (110) in a cell forward access channel (Cell_FACH) state, and receives information regarding a state change (520) associated with the user equipment (110). The device (124) determines that the E-RNTI (460) can be released based on the state change (520), and provides, to another device (122), a request (530) to release the E-RNTI (460) in response to the state change (520) and so that the E-RNTI (460) can be used by other user equipment (110).
摘要:
In a flat Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture, each base station (16) shares Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) control plane information with its neighboring base stations (16), by sharing with neighboring base stations (16) the same control plane information that the base station (16) transmits via its air interface (24). For example, in a Wideband CDMA embodiment, where each base station (16) in a flat WCDMA RAN (12) is referred to as a NodeB÷, one NodeB÷ shares MBMS control plane information with one or more neighboring NodeB+s. Such sharing allows a given base station (16-1) not only to broadcast MBMS configuration information for its own cells (18-1), but also to broadcast such information for one or more neighboring cells (18-2, 18-3) that operate under control of one or more neighboring base stations (16-2, 16-3). Thus, a user equipment (UE) (22) camping in the given base station's cell (18-1) is provided with the information needed to acquire the MBMS user plane in its current cell (18-1) and in one or more of the neighboring cells (18-2, 18-3). In this manner, the UE (22)—also referred to as a mobile terminal—can receive MBMS transmissions from multiple base stations (16-1, 16-2, 16-3), for selective and/or soft combining. UE reception performance is thereby improved and base stations (16) in a flat RAN (12) generally can send MBMS transmissions at a lower power.

摘要:
A method of filtering and gating data flow in a QoS connection between a remote host and user equipment in a packet data network using policy control mechanisms includes a remote host initiating an application in an application server and a corresponding session between the remote host and the user equipment (“UE”) via the application server. The UE requests, to a gateway support node (“GGSN”) of the network, establishment of a network bearer service between the UE and the remote host. A corresponding policy control function (“PCF”) in a policy server receives, from the application server, filtering data derived from session data received by the application server during the session. The GGSN interrogates the corresponding PCF in the policy server to initialize a gate using policy control filtering data at the GGSN. The gate then filters the data flow in the QoS connection according to the policy control filtering data.
摘要:
The present invention provides flexible radio access and resource allocation in a Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS). A UMTS Terrestrial access network (UTRAN) in response to a radio access bearer service request, flexibly and efficiently allocates resources necessary to support a communication with a mobile radio. The UTRAN includes plural base stations for communicating with mobile radios over a radio/air interface using radio channel resources allocated by a radio network controller connected to the base stations. External network service nodes interfacing with external networks communicate with the UTRAN over a radio access network interface. The UTRAN provides a radio access bearer service to the external network service nodes, and radio access bearers are dynamically assigned to radio channel resources by the UTRAN. When establishing each bearer, the UTRAN flexibly maps or allocates the radio access bearer to physical transport resources through the UTRAN and radio channel resources over the radio/air interface. In an example embodiment, the transport between nodes and the UTRAN includes an ATM connection, and a radio channel over the air interface includes one or more CDMA spreading codes. The mapping is based on one or more parameters including for example one or more quality of service parameters and/or current traffic conditions. In addition, if the one or more parameters changes during the life of the connection, the connection may be switched to a more appropriate channel type.

In a flat Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture, each base station (16) shares Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) control plane information with its neighboring base stations (16), by sharing with neighboring base stations (16) the same control plane information that the base station (16) transmits via its air interface (24). For example, in a Wideband CDMA embodiment, where each base station (16) in a flat WCDMA RAN (12) is referred to as a NodeB÷, one NodeB÷ shares MBMS control plane information with one or more neighboring NodeB+s. Such sharing allows a given base station (16-1) not only to broadcast MBMS configuration information for its own cells (18-1), but also to broadcast such information for one or more neighboring cells (18-2, 18-3) that operate under control of one or more neighboring base stations (16-2, 16-3). Thus, a user equipment (UE) (22) camping in the given base station's cell (18-1) is provided with the information needed to acquire the MBMS user plane in its current cell (18-1) and in one or more of the neighboring cells (18-2, 18-3). In this manner, the UE (22)—also referred to as a mobile terminal—can receive MBMS transmissions from multiple base stations (16-1, 16-2, 16-3), for selective and/or soft combining. UE reception performance is thereby improved and base stations (16) in a flat RAN (12) generally can send MBMS transmissions at a lower power.
