| 20100238891 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ALLOCATING AND TRANSMITTING UPLINK DATA BLOCK TRANSMISSIONS - Systems and methods for allocating and transmitting uplink data block transmissions with piggy-backed ACK/NACK bitmap field are provided. The systems and methods involve using a request for a DBCCI (Data Block Combined with Control Information) to allocate a timeslot for data transmission. A UADB (uplink allocation for data block) is not also used to allocate the timeslot. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100238910 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ALLOCATING AND TRANSMITTING UPLINK DATA BLOCK TRANSMISSIONS WITH PIGGY-BACKED ACK/NACK BITMAP - Systems and methods for allocating and transmitting uplink data block transmissions with piggy-backed ACK/NACK bitmap field are provided. In a specific example, a mobile station receives a request for a data block combined with control information (DBCCI). The mobile station responds by transmitting a DBCCI using at least one timeslot corresponding to a timeslot used for the request. At least some of the time, the mobile station sends data blocks in an order different than that would be otherwise used (e.g. block sequence order). | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100279682 | METHOD FOR HANDLING INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY MEASUREMENT REQUESTS IN A MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICE - Apparatus and a method are described for handling inter-radio access technology measurement reports in a radio telecommunications device, the device being operable with a first cellular radio access technology (e.g. UTRAN, E-UTRAN), GERAN and Generic Access Network, the radio telecommunications device being capable of adopting a cellular preferred mode. The method comprises, in the radio telecommunications device, when the radio telecommunications device is in cellular preferred mode and operating with the first cellular radio access technology and the radio telecommunications device is registered with a Generic Access Network Controller that operates as a GERAN network component, and a quality of a signal from the first cellular radio access technology is below a certain threshold and a quality of a signal from the GAN is above a certain threshold and a request has been received to send an inter-RAT measurement report, generating inter-radio access technology measurements and, when there is at least one GERAN cell that satisfies a triggering condition, transmitting a measurement report in respect of the GERAN cell(s) and a measurement report in respect of the generic access network. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110051661 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO AVOID MOBILE STATION TRANSMISSION OF DUPLICATE EVENT-BASED AND POLLED ACKNOWLEDGMENTS - Methods and apparatus to avoid mobile station transmission of duplicate event-based and polled acknowledgments are disclosed. An example method for a mobile station configured to send event-based acknowledgment information as disclosed herein comprises classifying a downlink data block as unreported, receiving a poll from a network requesting the mobile station to send polled acknowledgment information during a period, and refraining from sending during the period event-based acknowledgment information for the downlink data block classified as unreported. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110053586 | RADIO LINK TIMEOUT PROCEDURE FOR CALL RE-ESTABLISHMENT - A radio link timeout procedure for call re-establishment is provided. A mobile station receives signals over a wireless link, determines whether there is a potential call re-establishment as defined by at least one condition, and decides whether radio link failure has occurred on the basis of the signals received over the wireless link such that while there is a potential for call re-establishment as defined by the at least one condition, a decision that a radio link failure has occurred is made earlier than if there is no potential for call re-establishment. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110105120 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR A CHANNEL TO DETERMINE NEIGHBOR CELL INFORMATION - Methods and apparatus to monitor a channel to determine neighbor cell information are disclosed. An example method for a first mobile station to determine cell information for a first cell disclosed herein comprises monitoring a channel for messages containing cell information, receiving a first message via the monitored channel and addressed to a second mobile station, the first message including first cell information, and storing the first cell information for a time period after receiving the first message. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110105158 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO AVOID TRANSMISSION OF REDUNDANT NEIGHBOR CELL INFORMATION TO MOBILE STATIONS - Methods and apparatus to avoid transmission of redundant neighbor cell information to mobile stations. An example method to avoid transmission of at least some neighbor cell system information from a network to a mobile station disclosed herein comprises receiving neighbor cell system information, setting a validity indication representing whether the mobile station has valid neighbor cell system information associated with a neighbor cell, and sending the validity indication to the network. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110116470 | OPTIMIZED RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR WIRELESS DEVICE IN PACKET TRANSFER MODE - A system and method allows a network, in response to a cell reselection notice, to serve a wireless, wireless device sufficient data to complete a pending data transfer instead of performing the immediate cell change. Appropriate allocation of radio resources to the wireless device in the current serving cell and before cell change allows reduced packet data transfer latencies for small data sessions, better load balancing and traffic resourcing between cells, appropriate allocation of uplink resources in the new target cell, and enhanced control over network congestion. | 05-19-2011 |
