Abstract:
A wireless communication network (100) wherein a network entity assigns one or more symbol vectors to each of a plurality of communication entities in the network for substantially simultaneous communication on a common time frequency radio resource also assigned to the plurality of communication entities. The vectors assigned to the multiple entities may be common or unique or both.
Abstract:
A method for ACK/NACK determination reliability for a communication device includes a first step of defining (602) a supplementary indicator of message acceptability. A next step includes sending (604) data from a communication device to a BTS on an uplink channel. A next step includes checking (606) the data to see if it was properly received. A next step includes providing (608, 612) the supplementary indicator of message acceptability to the communication device in addition to ACK/NACK information. A next step includes utilizing (610, 614) the supplementary indicator of message acceptability to determine a reliability of the ACK/NACK information.
Abstract:
A method (200) for selecting a core network for a wireless communication device includes the steps of: receiving (220) at least one core network identifier; selecting (230) a core network identifier to form a selected core network identifier; setting (215) an indicator to indicate whether a substitute core network is allowed; determining (240) whether the selected core network identifier corresponds to a shared network; forming a registration request message containing the selected core network identifier; including (243) the indicator in the registration request message; and transmitting the registration request message.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method support user devices (109-113) and multiple core networks (125, 126) with a shared network. A rule set for a user device is associated with a core network (125, 126). Access information associated with a shared network is converted to core network behaviors using the rule set. A network element (400) can be employed to map the shared network information to core network information using the rule set for network uses.
Abstract:
A method of routing a message in a network includes transmitting by a mobile station ( 105 ) a signaling connection establishment message ( 308 ) on a radio connection to a radio network controller ( 102 ) though a base station ( 104 ). The signaling connection establishment message can include a registration request message. Next the mobile station can receive a registration accept message ( 310 ) on the radio connection and can subsequently transmit an uplink signaling message ( 312 ) on the radio connection. The uplink signaling message from the mobile station can include a core network operator identifier ( 604 ).
Abstract:
A method for access network (112) sharing, for example, a GSM or UMTS 3G wireless communications radio access network (RAN), among multiple core networks (120, 12, 124 & 126), for example, wireless communications services networks, including transmitting information about the core network sharing the common access network, e.g., a pseudo network identity or the number of core networks sharing the common access network or pointer information, in a system information message. The communication device (102) uses the information provided in the system information message to connect to a core network.
Abstract:
A base station ( 103 ) assigns a set of mobile stations ( 101 ) to a group wherein the group will share a set of radio resources ( 770 ). A control field ( 1103 ) may be sent with a payload field ( 1105 ) wherein the control field ( 1103 ) and payload field ( 1105 ) are sent using a single Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor or a single Walsh Code ( 1101 ) wherein various modulation and coding schemes may be applied to the control field ( 1103 ) and payload field ( 1105 ) such that different modulation and coding schemes may be used within the single channel. HARQ is handled by sending a single retransmission if a NACK message is received or no ACK/NACK message is received at all.
Abstract:
Se describe un método para reportar datos faltantes de una transmisión de datos re-segmentada en un dispositivo de comunicación inalámbrica; el método comprende determinar que un último segmento de unidad de datos de protocolo (PDU) re-segmentada de una PDU re-segmentada no ha sido recibido; en respuesta a determinar que el último segmento de PDU no ha sido recibido, el método además comprende generar un reporte de estado, en un dispositivo de comunicación inalámbrica de recepción; el reporte de estado comprende un valor de compensación de segmento de inicio que identifica la posición de byte desde una PDU original que comienza la secuencia de bytes que son llevados al menos en el último segmento de PDU re-segmentada y un indicador desconocido de segmento de fin.

Abstract:
A method for rate selection by a communication device for enhanced uplink during soft handoff in a wireless communication system includes a first step of receiving information from a scheduler. This information can include one or more of scheduling, a rate limit, a power margin limit, and a persistence. A next step includes determining a data rate for an enhanced uplink during soft handoff using the information. A next step includes transmitting to a serving base station on an enhanced uplink channel at the data rate determined from the determining step.
