20090075658 | WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method and apparatus for processing a message in a mobile, telecommunications device. The method comprises: receiving a Cell Update Confirm (CUC) message; determining whether the device has an empty C_RNTI variable; when the device has an empty C_RNTI variable, determining whether the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI; when the CUC message includes a new C_RNTI and the CUC message would cause the device to enter a state which requires the UE to respond to the message before entering the state, carrying out at least one further step prior to entering the state. | 03-19-2009 |
20090075690 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAKING MEASUREMENTS IN MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM USER EQUIPMENT - A method and apparatus for selecting cells in a mobile telecommunications system, the system comprising a network of a plurality of cells of a Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) and a network of a plurality of cells of a second Radio Access Technology (RAT), the method comprising, at a user equipment device: when in UMTS mode, flagging in a neighbouring cell list stored on the user equipment device information for a cell of a second RAT which is known to be unsuitable for selection. Information from the neighbouring cell list information for the flagged cell may be removed, in particular for a limited period of time. | 03-19-2009 |
20090098879 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - Apparatus and a method for handling discard of a service data unit in universal mobile telecommunications system user equipment. Strategies for the radio resource control entity to handle discard of a service data unit by the radio link control entity are presented. | 04-16-2009 |
20100008329 | ACCESS STRATUM MANAGER - A multi-mode mobile communication device may include a processing device, a memory sub-system, a communication sub-system operable to communicate with the plurality of wireless access networks, and a protocol stack stored in the memory sub-system and executed by the processing device. The protocol stack may include a first access stratum, a second access stratum, a non-access stratum and an access stratum manager. The first access stratum may communicate with a first wireless access network via the communication sub-system. The second access stratum may communicate with a second wireless access network via the communication sub-system. The non-access stratum may communicate with a core network. The access stratum manager may interface the non-access stratum with the first and second access strata, and may be operable to activate the first access stratum to establish a communication link with the core network over the first wireless access network. The access stratum manager may be further operable to maintain the communication link between the non-access stratum and the core network while transferring the communication link from the first access stratum to the second access stratum. | 01-14-2010 |
