An example method for transmission on a random-access channel (RACH) involves transmitting a mobile station radio access capabilities (MS RAC) message to a network and receiving an identification (ID) from the network subsequent to the MS RAC. The ID is locally unique and provides contention resolution. A timing advance is determined and further transmissions are performed on the RACH using the ID and the TA. | 09-15-2011 |
20110222527 | BASE STATIONS AND METHODS FOR RECEIVING TRANSMISSIONS ON AN ENHANCED RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL - Example base stations and methods for receiving transmissions on an enhanced random access channel (RACH) are disclosed herein. An example method for receiving transmissions on an enhanced RACH from a device such that an initial access burst is received in a single time slot from the device involves receiving the initial access burst from the device on the enhanced RACH. The initial access burst is sent by the device using a timing advance determined at the device. The initial access burst includes at least one of an identifier or user data. The enhanced RACH is a contention-based uplink-only channel requiring use of timing advances for transmissions thereon. | 09-15-2011 |
20110223932 | TIMING ADVANCE ENHANCEMENTS FOR CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS - Example methods and apparatus to implement timing advance enhancements for cellular communications are disclosed. A disclosed example method to communicate over a cellular network by a device involves retrieving a stored timing advance value and determining if the stored timing advance value is valid based at least on whether the device is operating in a stationary mode. When the stored timing advance is valid, a contention-based transmission is transmitted to a network using the stored timing advance value in order to compensate for propagation delay. | 09-15-2011 |
20150078310 | RACH PROCEDURES AND POWER LEVEL FOR MTC DEVICES - Random access channel (RACH) procedures and power levels for machine type communication (MTC) devices are disclosed. An example method for controlling one or more transmissions between a wireless device and a base station, the one or more transmissions including at least an initial transmission, includes: providing a current timing advance indicative of a propagation delay from the wireless device to the base station; selecting an access timing advance based on the current timing advance; and transmitting the initial transmission using the access timing advance. | 03-19-2015 |
20150264608 | Multi-Rat Measurement Reporting - An example method for preparing a measurement report on neighbour resources of a multi-RAT mobile station is disclosed. In the example method, the mobile station (MS) supports a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs). The example method comprises receiving a plurality of RAT resource reporting values, each RAT resource reporting value indicating a number of resources of the corresponding RAT to be included into the measurement report, determining a plurality of lists of valid neighbour resources associated with the plurality of RATs, and including resources from the plurality of lists of valid neighbour resources into the measurement report according to a RAT sequence of the plurality of RATs, wherein a second resource of the given RAT is included into the report, subject to including a first resource into the measurement report, for each of the plurality of RATs for which the RAT resource reporting value is greater than zero. | 09-17-2015 |
