| 20100182965 | AVOIDING COLLISIONS BETWEEN SEMI-PERSISTENT ALLOCATION AND DYNAMIC ALLOCATION IN RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS - A method, including receiving a request for retransmission from user equipment for a predetermined transmission time interval in a communication network; determining whether a collision risk exists between the retransmission and another transmission during the predetermined time interval; and ignoring the retransmission request when the determined collision risk exists. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100329182 | Apparatus, Methods, Computer Program Products And Systems Providing RACH Parameters In A Broadcast Channel For A Random Access Procedure - In one non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, a method includes: receiving at least one parameter from a broadcast channel ( | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110183647 | Method, Apparatus and Computer Program Product for Providing Closed Subscriber Group Access Control - An apparatus for providing closed subscriber group access control may include a processor. The processor may be configured to maintain a non-access register including an identifier of a communication cell associated with a closed subscriber group to which a communication device associated with the non-access register does not have access rights, and enable subsequent communication with another communication cell based on the other communication cell not being identified in the non-access register. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110201323 | System Information Update For Carrier Aggregation - A method for providing SI updates for a carrier aggregation system is described. The method includes, for each other CC of a configured set of CCs, determining a start time for the other CC when updated SI for the other CC becomes valid. A first time prior to each start time for the at least one other CC is determined. A message including the updated SI for the at least one other CC and an indication of the first time is sent on a first CC. A UE configured for a set of CCs receiving the message. For each CC of the configured set of CCs, a next time for the other CC which begins after the first time is determined and the UE is configured to use the updated SI for the other CC beginning at the next time. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110205976 | UE Specific Signaling Carrier Indicator For Carrier Aggregation - A node of a communication system having a plurality of aggregated component carriers CCs determines that a user equipment UE is capable of operating simultaneously on multiple CCs. During configuration or re-configuration of the UE, the node sends to the UE radio resource control RRC signaling along with an indication of which of the plurality of CCs to which the RRC signaling applies. In an embodiment the determining is from a UE capability information element that the UE sends which indicates at least a maximum number of downlink or uplink CCs on which the UE can simultaneously communicate. There may be a separate indication for each downlink and each uplink CC to which the RRC signaling applies, and the CCs for which the RRC signaling relates may be reconfigured upon handover to another cell or during any configuration/re-configuration. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110269460 | Closed Subscriber Group Cell Identification for Active Mode Mobility - While camped on a first cell with a first access node, it is determined that a second cell of a second access node is a private cell. From information received from a network it is determined that a criteria is satisfied, and conditional on the criteria being satisfied, a unique identifier for a private network of the private cell is decoded. Exemplary embodiments include a method, apparatus and computer readable medium storing a program. In various specific and non-limiting embodiments: being camped on the first cell comprises being in an active RRC CONNECTED state; the information received is broadcast information, the determining is by comparing received L1 ID to a list of locally stored CSG L1 IDs; the received broadcast information comprises a first portion of a TA ID and the criteria being satisfied comprises the first portion matching an entry of a locally stored whitelist. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110310760 | CARRIER AGGREGATION WITH POWER HEADROOM REPORT - Methods, apparatuses, and software can be used for providing power headroom reporting in a telecommunication system. A method can include configuring a user equipment to send a power headroom report control element in uplink, wherein the power headroom report control element includes a bitmap indicating which power headroom reports are being reported. The method can further include receiving the power headroom report control element from the user equipment. The method additionally can include processing the received power headroom report control element based on the configuration of the user equipment. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110319065 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO LIMIT PERIODIC UPLINK TRANSMISSIONS - In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention, there is at least a method, apparatus which may include operations that result from operation of computer program code, and a plurality of coupled logic circuit elements constructed to carry out the associated functions for, in response to signaling received from a network access node, prematurely terminating operation of a timer running on a user equipment, the timer being used to control how long the user equipment is considered uplink time aligned, and performing operations defined to be executed upon the timer expiring. Further, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention there is signaling a user equipment to prematurely terminate operation of a timer running on the user equipment, the timer being used to control how long the user equipment is considered uplink time aligned, and reserving an uplink resource for the user equipment. | 12-29-2011 |
