| 20080212528 | Srb Enhancement on Hs-Dsch During Cell Change - The present invention relates to a radio network controller and a radio base station for prioritisation of signalling radio bearers (SRB) with regard to their content to achieve an efficient resource usage. The radio network controller can retrieve knowledge about the resource status in a Node B serving a certain user equipment and request this Node B to prioritize signalling radio bearers (SRB) carrying signalling information with regard to radio resource control that is of particular importance and intended to be efficiently forwarded to said user equipment. The Node B then prioritises such signalling radio bearers and schedules the prioritized signalling radio bearers with respect to their priorities using sufficient radio resources. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20100195622 | Method of Maintaining Broadcast Service Continuity - An access node in the boundary area of a single frequency network service area transmits a boundary indication to the mobile terminals in the boundary area to notify the mobile terminals that they are approaching the boundaries of the single frequency network. The mobile terminals receiving the boundary indications may then take steps to maintain continuity of broadcast services when the mobile terminals leave the service area of the single frequency network. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20100322098 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT IN A TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method for sending buffer status information includes checking if a quality of service (QoS) parameter is defined for a first logical channel and at least one condition of a set of predetermined conditions associated with a logical channel group is fulfilled. If the QoS parameter is defined and at least one condition of the set is fulfilled, the method includes setting a number of bits in a media access control header according to a first semantic. The bits carry buffer status information, and the first semantic is based on the QoS parameter of the first logical channel. Otherwise, the method includes setting the number of bits carrying the buffer status information according to a second semantic that is based on an amount of data available for transmission across the logical channel group. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110038352 | TTI BUNDLING INDICATION TO NON-SERVING BASE STATION - The technology applies to a cellular radio communication system in which a mobile radio terminal transmits information in transmission time intervals (TTIs) that is received by a serving base station and by one or more non-serving base stations. A number N of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmissions transmitted together by the mobile terminal is determined. An HARQ transmission includes a first transmission, one or more retransmissions of the first transmission, or both. An indication of the number N of HARQ transmissions is provided either directly or indirectly to the one or more non-serving base stations so that the one or more non-serving base stations can take the number N into account when combining HARQ transmissions received from the mobile terminal. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110176500 | Method and Apparatus for Contention-Based Granting in a Wireless Communication Network - In one aspect of the disclosed teachings, associating a plurality of contention-based uplink grants with a range of uplink resource blocks allows one contention-based uplink grant message to signal the entire plurality of grants. As an example in the LTE context, the signaling load on the PDCCH is reduced by using a single contention-based uplink grant message to signal a plurality of contention-based uplink grants. The message indicates an allocated set of uplink resource blocks and the number of separate uplink resource grants represented by the set is known or signaled, such that user terminals recognize that separate subsets of uplink resource blocks within the set each correspond to a separate contention-based uplink grant. Information included in the contention-based uplink grant message, or otherwise signaled can be used to control the probability at which the user terminals attempt contention-based uplink transmissions and/or to control the MCS used for such transmissions. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110199923 | Enabling Reporting of Non-Real-Time MDT Measurements - Methods and apparatus for informing a network node of a wireless communication network of the presence of logged measurements are disclosed. A first mobile station performs measurements concerning one or more connectivity aspects for the first mobile station in relation to the wireless communication network and stores the measurements in an internal log, where the measurements are performed according to a reporting configuration for the first mobile station. The first mobile station then sends a notification to the first network node regarding the presence of logged measurements in order to enable the first network node to respond to the notification with a request for a logged measurement report. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110201324 | Reporting of Non-Real-Time MDT Measurements - Methods and apparatus for providing measurement reports to a wireless communication network from a mobile station are disclosed. A first mobile station performs measurements concerning one or more connectivity aspects for the first mobile station in relation to the wireless communication network and stores the measurements in an internal log, where the measurements are performed according to a reporting configuration for the first mobile station. A first network node of the network sends a request for a logged measurement report, which is received by the first mobile station. The first mobile station then sends a logged measurement report as a response to the, which report is then received by the first network node. | 08-18-2011 |
