20100323631 | REPORTING AND USE OF USER EQUIPMENT MEASUREMENT EVENT CONFIDENCE LEVEL - In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method includes: detecting a local network access node; generating a measurement report based on the detected local network access node, where the measurement report is for transmission to a serving network access node; and in response to successfully reading system information for the detected local network access node, including in the generated measurement report information that uniquely identifies the detected local network access node. | 12-23-2010 |
20120252448 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR TRIGGERING THE REPORTING OF NEIGHBOR RELATION INFORMATION - Various methods for triggering the reporting of neighbor relation information are provided. One example method may include causing neighbor cell relation information to be stored in association with a transition from a first radio access technology to a second radio access technology, and determining that a user equipment has idle mode signaling reduction enabled. The example method may also include in response to at least performing the transition and determining that the user equipment has idle mode signaling reduction enabled, causing a connection to be established to send a neighbor cell relation information indicator, which indicates that the neighbor cell relation information is available to be reported from a user equipment to a network entity. Similar and related example methods, example apparatuses, and example computer program products are also provided. | 10-04-2012 |
20130045741 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRIGGERING CELL RESELECTION BASED ON A RESOURCE SUSPENSION - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to trigger a reselection of a serving cell in an instance in which a mobile terminal may be creating neighbor cell interference. Based upon received reselection data, the mobile terminal may release and/or suspend a network resource, such as an enhanced dedicated channel in order to trigger a reselection of a new serving cell. In this regard, a method is provided that includes determining the presence of a reselection condition based on reselection data. In an instance in which the presence of the reselection condition is determined, the method includes causing a network resource to be modified. The method also includes causing a reselection of a serving cell. | 02-21-2013 |
20130045771 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UPLINK INTERFERENCE CONTROL - A method and apparatus are provided to reduce interference in neighbor cells by limiting the uplink power of an interfering mobile terminal In this regard, a method is provided that includes generating a measurement report, wherein the measurement report includes interference measurement information measured from at least one neighbor cell. The method also includes causing the generated measurement report to be transmitted to a receiving station. The method may also include receiving a power level indication from the receiving station, wherein the indication causes a modification of transmission power. | 02-21-2013 |
20130078999 | DELAY OF ACCESS TO ASSIST MANAGEMENT OF CONGESTION IN RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS - A radio access network includes user equipments configured to one of several classes, and is capable of being configured to bar access, at least temporarily, from a user equipment according to its class in order to reduce congestion, by transmitting equipment class barring data which indicates at least one class of user equipment which is to be barred. A user equipment receives signalling data including an equipment class access barring data item, and one or more additional data items indicative of loading of the radio access network. The user equipment matches its class to the equipment class barring data item, and in response to the matching, sets a barred status at the user equipment. In response to the barred status setting, the user equipment determines a delay time for an attempt to access the radio access network, based at least in part upon the one or more additional data items. | 03-28-2013 |
20130083738 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING RESOURCE ALLOCATION - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for causing a modification of a TTI E-DCH resource allocation in an instance in which a criterion for resource modification has been met. In this regard, a method is provided that includes determining whether a criteria for resource allocation modification has been satisfied. The method further includes causing a request for modification of a resource allocation to be transmitted in an instance in which the criterion for relocation allocation modification has been satisfied. The method also includes causing a modification to the resource allocation in an instance in which an indication of resource allocation modification is received. | 04-04-2013 |
20130189972 | Method and Apparatus for Evaluating an Inter-Frequency Measurement Event Utilizing a Detected Cell - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to determine if a measurement event is satisfied by one or more detected cells and to correspondingly advise the network to facilitate consideration of whether a handover or cell reselection procedure is desired. The network may, in turn, determine whether the detected cell(s) that satisfied the measurement event are appropriate to be considered in conjunction with a handover or cell reselection procedure, such as by being in the same public land mobile network (PLMN) as opposed to being in a different PLMN and/or cells that are barred or reserved for operator use. Thus, the network may take advantage of opportunities for handover or cell reselection offered by a detected cell, while still insuring that handover or cell reselection procedures remain limited to cells that are appropriate. | 07-25-2013 |
20140301304 | Resource Control - Measures including, methods, apparatus, computer software and computer program products, for use in radio resource control in a cellular communications network. At a user equipment, a first random access channel (RACH) message is generated. The user equipment causes transmittal, on a RACH, of the first RACH message. The first RACH message comprises an indication that at least a second RACH message associated with the first RACH message is to be transmitted subsequently from the user equipment on the RACH. | 10-09-2014 |
