Abstract:
A device (110) receives a radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU) (740) or service data unit (SDU) (760) to be segmented, defines a padding threshold (840) for a segmentation mechanism, and determines a padding ratio (850) after enhanced dedicated channel transport format combination (ETFC) selection (730). The device selects a first transport block (960) and a second transport block (970) associated with the RLC PDU/SDU (740/760) when the padding ratio (850) is greater than or equal to the padding threshold (840), and generates a modified segmentation of the RLC PDU/SDU (740/760) based on the first and second transport blocks (960/970) when a padding ratio (RTB) associated with the first and second transport blocks (960/970) is less than the padding threshold (840) and a size ratio (STB) associated with the first and second transport blocks (960/970) is within a size threshold (980).
Abstract:
A system, method and node of downlinking transmissions to an unsynchronized UE in a telecommunications network. The method begins by a node in the network requesting synchronization of the UE with the network. A first transmission of data is sent from the node to the UE prior to synchronization of the UE. The UE then synchronizes with the network by the UE performing a Random Access procedure with the node, thereby triggering a time alignment command from the node to the UE to synchronize the UE with the network. A second transmission of data is then sent from the node to the UE after the UE is synchronized. A response feedback message is sent to the node from the UE. The message is a cumulative feedback message of the first transmission of data and the second transmission of data. Thus, data may be transmitted prior to synchronization of the UE.
Abstract:
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).
Abstract:
In an improved and reliable method and arrangement allowing a user equipment to acknowledge the re-pointing over target cell in the HS-DSCH serving cell change procedure, wherein a Media Access Control (MAC) frame include information indicates the acknowledgement. In one embodiment the MAC frame contains only the Scheduling Information (SI) field with a coding not normally used, e.g. TEBS=O and HLID =0 (TEBS = Total E-DCH Buffer Status; HLID = Highest Priority Logical Channel ID). Since the MAC frame is protected by Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ), high reliability is ensured. Also, the MAC frame is transmitted to all cells in the active set, so that robustness is ensured also during imbalance situations.
Abstract:
A method for limiting Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) reporting from a User Equipment to a network node is provided where a User Equipment can transmit CQI reports to a network node, such as e.g. a base station, when the User Equipment is operating in low transmission and/or low reception activity mode. A limited CQI reporting is obtained by triggering the reporting according to one or more predefined rules, which to at least some extent depend on CQI specific information provided to the User Equipment from the network node. A User Equipment and a network node adapted to operate in accordance with the suggested method are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to method and arrangements for using an identifier of a predefined type, e.g. an RNTI identifying one configuration on an out-band control channel for activating the configuration identifiable by that identifier. The identifier is sent from the network to the UE (904), when a configuration corresponding to that identifier is to be activated. This implies that both the UE and the radio base station comprise a mapping (901) between each configuration (902,903) and the corresponding identity of each configuration.
Abstract:
In a method of generating a Level 2 message from a number of messages generated by at least one User Equipment (UE) in an idle state and transmitted on an enhanced Dedicated Channel, E-DCH a checksum to each Layer 3 (L3) message, e.g. (RRC or NAS) is added to check the correctness of the message. Hereby the need for transmitting a long Core Network (CN) Identity (ID) for contention resolution on Layer 2 for UEs in idle mode is removed. As a result performance of the cellular radio network will be improved.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a user equipment (401), a base station (403) and methods for enabling providing fast access to a dedicated UL resource between the base station (403) and the UE (401) for data transmissions, by using a UE identifier. The UE (401) may receive configuration parameters (step 302, S-402) of a set of common UL resources from the base station (403), transmit a random access request (step 304, step S-404, 508, 810; 712, 910) for a common UL resources of said set of common UL resources to said base station (403), obtain allocation of said common resource (step 306, S-408, 514, 718, 720, 812, 912) of said set from said base station (403), and transmit a UE (401) identifier (step 308, S-410) to said base station on said common resource (520, 814; 728, 918), wherein the UE identifier indicates a previously used set of configuration parameters for a dedicated resource. The UL set-up delays may be reduced and the network performance as well as the end-user quality of experience improved.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for improving RACH performance. The object is achieved by a method in a user equipment (140) for random accessing the user equipment (140) to a base station (120). The user equipment (140) and the base station (120) are comprised in a communication network system (110). An acknowledgement to send a message to the network node (110,120) is received (203,301) from a network node (110,120) comprised in the communication network system (100). The user equipment then sends (204,302) the message to the network node (110,120) using Hybrid Automatic Retransmission reQuest HARQ being in a CELL_FACH state.
Abstract:
In a method and a system Radio Link Control (RLC) Status Reports in a cellular radio system employing Acknowledge Mode (AM) RLC are not delivered in sequence, thereby obtaining an increased peak throughput. Thus, even when an in-sequence delivery exists, for example if the system uses HARQ transmission, it is not used for data related to the RLC status report.
