Abstract:
A mobile station (MS), a base station subsystem (BSS), and various methods are described herein that enable the MS to receive acknowledgement of an access attempt for performing a multilateration timing advance (MTA) procedure using the Access Burst method without also being assigned resources.
Abstract:
A wireless device (e.g., Machine Type Communications (MTC) device), a radio access network node (e.g., evolved Node B), and various methods are described herein for implementing long paging cycles (i.e., long discontinuous receive (DRX) cycles) within a wireless communication network.
Abstract:
A wireless device and method are described herein for implementing synchronization procedures when the wireless device operates using a prolonged sleep mode in a cellular network, wherein the synchronization procedures have a benefit of reducing the energy consumption of the wireless device's battery.
Abstract:
A radio network node receives a page request from a core network node. The page request indicates to page a wireless communication device. The radio network node determines a next occurrence of a monitoring window during which the wireless communication device will monitor a paging channel associated with the radio network node. If the amount of time until the next occurrence of the monitoring window exceeds an amount of time that the radio network node can store the page request, the radio network node discards the page request and sends a response to the core network node indicating that the page request was discarded; the response includes a paging timer value that indicates when the core network node should repeat the page request.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes various techniques for enabling a Base Station System (BSS) to provide a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) with an indication, e.g., in the form of a flag or a timer, within a BSS General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Protocol (BSSGP) POSITION–COMMAND Protocol Data Unit (PDU) that a target wireless device is to perform a Multilateration Timing Advance (MTA) procedure. The SGSN upon receipt of the BSSGP POSITION-COMMAND PDU with the indication, e.g., in the form of a flag or a timer, can start a timer during which the SGSN will suspend downlink data delivery and paging to the target wireless device while the target wireless device is performing the MTA procedure.
Abstract:
A wireless device, a Radio Access Network (RAN) node, and various methods are described herein for improving the coverage performance of the Extended Coverage (EC)- Random Access Channel (RACH). For instance, the wireless device, the RAN node, and various methods can improve the coverage performance of the EC-RACH by utilizing a new access burst (referred to herein as Extended Synchronization Access Burst (ESAB)), a new coding scheme (referred to herein as RACH11') for the CC5 2TS EC-RACH, and/or an access burst mapping scheme for the CC5 2TS EC-RACH.

Abstract:
A machine type communications (MTC) device, a serving node (e.g. SGSN), and various methods are described herein for implementing a downlink stack reduction (DSR) feature. The DSR feature reduces the ratio of UDP/IP overhead to MTC data packet payload in MTC communications which will serve to substantially minimize the amount of radio interface bandwidth consumed and therefore significantly improve the Packet Data Channel (PDCH) utilization within the telecommunication network.
Abstract:
An access point and method are described herein for receiving a report from the mobile station containing at least one of a channel quality and a signal strength for each of one or more streams associated with each of one or more transmission modes used during a period of time to send payload to the mobile station, and analyzing the received report to determine one or more downlink control parameters to be used for sending additional payload to the mobile station. In addition, a mobile station and method are described herein for detecting one or more modes of transmissions used by the access point during a period of time to send payload to the mobile station, generating a report containing at least one of a channel quality and a signal strength for each of one or more streams associated with each of the detected one or more transmission modes used by the access point to send the payload to the mobile station, and transmitting the report to the access point.
