Abstract:
A mechanism for notifying a mobile station operating in a packet-switched data interchange activity of receipt of a circuit-switched paging message in a GSM communication system. A radio link control/medium access control block is sent to a mobile station by being inserted in a packet data channel, corresponding to the packet-switched data interchange activity, in response to the mobile station being capable of operating in a dual transfer mode (310) and being currently engaged in packet-switched data interchange activity (330). The mobile station aborts the packet-switched data interchange activity, and monitors a combined control channel setting up for circuit-switched voice interchange activity containing simultaneous voice and data transmission, resulting in a simultaneous voice and data transmission in dual transfer mode (350).
Abstract:
A communication system including a mobile sending a plurality of uplink radio link control data blocks (328, 332, 336, 340) to a base station in an uplink temporary block flow and receiving a plurality of downlink radio link control data blocks (326, 330, 334, 338, 342) from the base station in a downlink temporary block flow. A GPRS/EDGE subsystem having a mobile station medium access control layer is located in the mobile and communicates with a protocol control unit having a base station medium access control layer in the base station.
Abstract:
A mechanism for notifying a mobile station of receipt of a packet-switched paging message in a GSM communication system. A base station controller (108) sends the packet-switched paging message to the mobile station (116) along a main dedicated control channel in response to the mobile station being capable of operating in a dual transfer mode and being currently engaged in circuit-switch voice interchange activity, resulting in a simultaneous voice and data transmission in dual transfer mode.
