Abstract:
A technique is provided to control transmitting, by a mobile station (MS) that uses carrier aggregation, a message including an interoperability test (IOT) indication for one or more uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration combinations of time-division-duplex (TDD) radio frames for use by a primary cell and a secondary cell. In one example implementation, an IOT indication may be provided for one or more (or each) uplink-downlink configuration combinations (e.g., one IOT indication per UL-DL configuration combination). In another example implementation, an IOT indication may be provided for one or more sets of uplink-downlink configuration combinations, where each set may include a plurality of UL-DL configuration combinations.
Abstract:
A method, computer program and apparatus operate when resuming data transmission/reception upon activiation of a serving cell, or after a long in-device coexistence interference avoidance gap, to determine whether to report to a network access node an in-device coexistence interference indicator value and send the in-device coexistence interference indicator value to the network access node, The in-device coexistence interference indicator value is reported to the network access node for a certain period if any periodic channel quality indication resource is configured for the cell, or if an aperiodic channel quality indication for the cell is requested from the network access node.
Abstract:
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for de-configuration of mobility management. In example embodiments, a first network device transmits, to a second network device, an instruction of de-configuration of mobility management for a terminal device. Moreover, the first network device obtains, from the second network device, an identification of a serving cell for the terminal device.
Abstract:
A communication is executed between a user equipment and a communication network based on carrier aggregation using a first group of at least two PUCCH groups, the first group including a primary serving cell that carries a first PUCCH, and first serving cells which use the first PUCCH, and a second group of the at least two PUCCH groups, the second group including a secondary serving cell that carries a second PUCCH, and second serving cells which use the second PUCCH. In case a predetermined condition occurs, the communication is continued by exchanging the first group by the second group wherein the secondary serving cell that carries the second PUCCH becomes the primary serving cell and vice versa.

Abstract:
In one exemplary aspect of this invention a method includes buffering data in a user equipment and, in response to an amount of buffered data exceeding a threshold value, triggering the generation of a buffer status report and the sending of the buffer status report to a network access node, where the threshold value is a function of the capacity of a currently allocated uplink data transmission resource and some certain amount of time. In another exemplary embodiment the triggering of the generation of the buffer status report and the sending of the buffer status report to a network access node occurs when an amount of buffered data in a buffer of a particular logical channel group exceeds a maximum value associated with one of a plurality of buffer status report tables that is currently in use.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for cell aggregation are disclosed. In accordance with one aspect information regarding a predefined maximum number of cells that can be aggregated by a communication device on a single carrier resource is sent by the communication device. Said Information is received by a network node where after control on cell aggregation can be based on the information, and the communication device can support cell aggregation on the single carrier resource up to said maximum number of cells.
Abstract:
There is provided alleviation to erroneous activation and de-activation of secondary cells carrying a physical uplink control channel. User equipment in a mobile communications network is defined serving cells comprising a primary cell and secondary cells. At least one physical uplink control channel is associated with a secondary cell. A secondary cell defined for transmission of the physical uplink control channel is de-activated. A secondary cell is activated, when at least one secondary cell defined for transmission of physical uplink control channel is active.
Abstract:
A user equipment uses extended discontinuous reception (DRX) when the user equipment is in connected mode with a communication network. The extended DRX comprises extended DRX cycles and offsets, which are based on a value of a specific DRX cycle. The user equipment receives (S31) signaling from the communication network, the signaling comprising an extended DRX cycle indication and offset value, calculates (S32) an extended DRX cycle from the extended DRX cycle indication and an offset from the offset value, using the value of the specific DRX cycle, and executes (S33) the DRX when the user equipment is in the connected mode with the extended DRX cycle calculated and the offset calculated.
