Abstract:
There is disclosed a technique for link adaptation, suitable for a pack et switched mobile communication system, in which a command or request to change the mode of a codec in a transmitter is sent only responsive to a desired change in such mode. [Figure 1]
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for using uplink reference signals for access grant requests. The method includes determining at the base station that at least one mobile unit is requesting access to at least one uplink channel based on information indicative of a change in a masking sequence applied to at least one reference signal. Another embodiment of the present invention includes providing by a mobile station a first reference signal modulated by a first masking sequence to indicate a request for access to at least one uplink channel.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of operating an idle mobile unit that is capable of communicating with first and second wireless communication systems. One embodiment of the method includes providing a location update message in response to the idle mobile unit transitioning from a first tracking area associated with the second wireless communication system to a second tracking area associated with the second wireless communication system. The first and second wireless communication systems are capable of paging the idle mobile unit following the location update message.
Abstract:
A method is provided for operating a multi-bandwidth OFDMA system that can achieve an enhanced bandwidth efficiency due to windowing without significantly impacting the underlying physical design of the receive filters. The method comprises establishing a bandwidth over which the radio resources transmit signals, the bandwidth being comprised of an edge-band (505) and a center-band (510). Narrow band radio resources (700) are assigned to a portion of the bandwidth that is at least partially within the edge-band (505).
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods involving at least one mobile unit configured to receive wireless connectivity using first and second wireless communication systems that operate according to first and second radio interface technologies, respectively. The first and second radio interface technologies are different. The method may include determining, in response to the mobile unit handing off from the first to the second wireless communication system, session establishment information for the second wireless communication system based on session establishment information associated with the first wireless communication system.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method applicable to a mobile unit operating using Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology and having a single radio interface. The method controls a handover from a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call to a Circuit Switched (CS) call. The method comprises providing a CS call control message in a packet switched message, and routing the CS call control messages to a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC). Thereafter, a handover of the VoIP call to the CS call is initiated in response to receiving the call control message.
Abstract:
In a telecommunications system, such as E-UTRAN, a User Equipment 6 is connected to a base station eNB 8 by an early radio bearer, which is established using preset values stored at the UE 6 and at the eNB 8. This enables data to be transferred over the radio link prior to formal establishment of a radio bearer between the UE 6 and the eNB 8.
