摘要:
The invention relates to a technique for mobile assisted handover in mobile communications networks, e.g. Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, in a situation of an ongoing data reception or data transmission of a mobile terminal which hinders reception of system information from a candidate cell for handover. A method embodiment of such technique is performed in a mobile terminal and comprises the steps of accepting information related to an ongoing data reception/transmission from at least one data reception/transmission component of the mobile terminal; establishing if the ongoing data reception/transmission enables a reception of a unique cell identifier indicating a candidate cell for handover; selectively halting the ongoing data reception/transmission, receiving the unique cell identifier of the candidate cell, and resuming afterwards the data reception/transmission.

摘要:
A method and arrangement in a mobile terminal such as a UE for selecting a transport format for an uplink transmission to a base station, wherein the selector selects a transport format from a set of transport formats which are generated based upon parameters of a radio connection established with the base station. Upon establishing a radio connection, the base station sends parameters to the UE describing a radio bearer configuration. The UE generates a set of transport formats based upon the radio bearer parameters. A classifier then classifies each of the transport formats in the set as either power-efficient or power-inefficient. When a grant is received from the base station, the UE derives a set of allowed transport formats. A transport format selector then selects a transport format that is both power-efficient and allowed.
摘要:
A method and device for controlling a mobile user equipment being in radio communication with base stations of a wireless communication system. The transmit power of the user equipment is controlled by the communication system. Immediately before sending an event message by the user equipment, the transmit power is increased by the user equipment, in order to increase the likelihood that the message is properly received by the base station. The message may be a soft handover event message. The transmit power is increased by opening a closed loop power control circuit, which normally controls the transmit power of the user equipment. By opening the closed loop circuit, the user equipment takes over the control of its transmitted power for increase thereof. Following the sending of the message, the user equipment may control the base station to send with increased power by increasing a target signal-to-interference ratio value (SIRref) by means of which the base station power level is controlled. In this way, the likelihood of receiving any acknowledgement messages and event messages from the base station is increased.

Cells from which to receive information transmitted on a traffic channel that is not subject to power control in a cellular radio communications system are selected. Selection involves, for each of a plurality of candidate cells, using an offset value that indicates a relationship between a pilot channel transmission power and the traffic channel transmission power associated with the candidate cell to determine a value of quality indicative of power of a signal transmitted on the traffic channel associated with the candidate cell; and selecting, based on the values of quality indicative of power of a signal transmitted on the traffic channel, a number, N, of cells from the plurality of candidate cells.

摘要:
User equipment (UE) in a cellular telecommunications system is operated such that the UE begins operating in a power saving state when a first set of predefined criteria have been satisfied, and leaves the power saving state when a second set of predefined criteria have been satisfied. Determining satisfaction of the first set of predefined criteria includes making a plurality of signal quality measurements of a signal received from a serving cell in the telecommunications system, and making a plurality of signal quality measurements of a signal received from one or more neighboring cells. A first trend line is determined from the signal quality measurements of the serving cell, and a second trend line is determined from the signal quality measurements of the one or more neighboring cells. The first set of predefined criteria are considered to have been satisfied if the first and second trend lines are not converging.
摘要:
A cell search in a spread spectrum telecommunication system is performed by determining a spreading code of an undetected neighbor cell; and de-spreading a received signal using the scrambling code of the undetected neighbor cell at a path delay position of an already-detected cell. The undetected neighbor cell may be identified by means of a neighbor list received from a network of the spread spectrum telecommunication system. A path searcher can be used to perform de-spreading the received signal using the scrambling code of the undetected neighbor cell at the path delay position of an already-detected cell. Concurrently with this operation, a cell searcher can be used to perform a path-masked cell search procedure.
摘要:
A method for synchronizing measurements in a mobile communication apparatus having a first active radio access means (100) adapted to communicate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and at least a second passive radio access means (200) adapted to communicate according to a second RAT. A time reference common to the first and the second access means (100) is generated. At least one time schedule is obtained, said schedule indicating at least one time gap wherein the second access means (200) is allowed to be active. The activation time of the schedule is based on the common time reference. An arrangement adapted to generate the common time reference and the time schedule is also disclosed.
摘要:
The uplink transmission timing from a mobile communications device is defined with reference to the downlink reception timing of signals from a particular reference cell. When that reference cell is removed from the active set, there is defined a virtual reference cell, the timing of which is defined with reference to one or more of the cells remaining in the active set, such that the timing of this new virtual reference cell corresponds to the timing of the previous reference cell. The timing of the uplink transmission from the user equipment are then defined with reference to the new virtual reference cell, in the conventional way. This has the advantage that, following a soft handover, it is not necessary to adjust the timing of uplink transmissions from the user equipment.
