The AP can advertise its emergency call capabilities in a beacon frame, a probe response frame, a reassociation response frame, or a reauthentication response frame. The station can announce its emergency call capabilities in an association request frame, a reassociation request frame, an authentication request frame, or a reauthentication request frame.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a CDMA base station that lowers equipment cost at initial implementation and is easily scalable and highly flexible.SOLUTION: A scalable base station is assembled from a digital base station unit configured to support a plurality of concurrent calls connecting to a public switched network. At initial implementation, two base station units are deployed for redundancy in the case of a failure. Additional base station units may be deployed when the need arises for extra traffic capacity later. If sectorization is required, directivity is combined with the base station units. Two amplifier-equipped antenna modules, each of which contains an omni-directional or a directional antenna, a high-power RF amplifier for transmission signals and a low-noise amplifier for reception signals are coupled to and remote from each of the base station units. A separate power supply module capable of supplying power to the two base station units is actuated as a standby power supply in the event of a power outage to constitute an uninterruptible power supply.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve a problem in UMTS TDD or FDD systems where, to maintain proper performance of system functions, SIB repetition rates may have to be increased to compensate for failed transmissions, which reduces radio resource efficiency and utilization.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for receiving (80) and processing a communication which includes periodic transmission of an information segment set consisting of information segments. A first transmission of the information segment set is received and processed to identify each of the information segments as valid or invalid (81). The information segments identified as valid are stored (82). When not all of the information segments of the information segment set are stored (83), subsequent transmission of the information segment set is received (85) and only those information segments corresponding to information segments not stored previously are processed and identified as valid or invalid. The information segments identified as valid are stored (82). Subsequent transmission is repeatedly received (85) until all the information segments of the information segment set are stored.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dynamically allocate HARQ processes in the uplink.SOLUTION: In a wireless communication system including at least one wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and at least one Node-B (NB), an activation or deactivation state is determined for each of a plurality of HARQ processes. A signal that includes the activation or deactivation state for each of the HARQ processes is transmitted to the WTRU. In response to receiving the signal, the WTRU activates or deactivates a particular HARQ process in accordance with the activation or deactivation state for each of the HARQ processes contained in the received signal. The HARQ process activation is considered for non-scheduled transmissions.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for supporting handover from an LTE/EUTRAN to a GPRS/GERAN.SOLUTION: A method and apparatus for handover of a dual mode wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) from an LTE system to a GERAN system uses measurements of the LTE and GERAN frequencies and a decision by a source evolved Node B to perform the handover. A GERAN access procedure includes PS attach messages exchanged between the WTRU and a target base station controller and a target SGSN. Alternatively, the GERAN access procedure uses RAN mobility information messages exchanged by the WTRU and the target base station controller and a relocation detect message by the source evolved Node B.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an NCB channel that would not be subject to the limitations of the current state of the art.SOLUTION: In a wireless communication system comprising at least one evolved Node-B (eNB) and a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), a non-contention based (NCB) channel is established, maintained, and utilized. The NCB channel is allocated for use by one or more WTRUs in the system for utilization in a variety of functions, and the allocation is communicated to the WTRUs. The wireless communication system analyzes the allocation of the NCB channel as required, and the NCB channel is reallocated as required.

A method for remote wireless resource management in the WLAN begins by configuring a trigger condition at the AP. A determination is made whether the trigger condition is met, and a notification message is sent from the AP to the NME if the trigger condition is met.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for assigning a tracking area (TA).SOLUTION: A mobility state of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is determined and the TA is assigned based on the determined mobility state. Also disclosed is a method for accessing a closed subscriber group (CSG) TA. A CSG TA identifier is received at a WTRU and is stored. A broadcast CSG TA is received and the broadcast CSG TA is accessed if an identifier of the broadcast CSG TA matches the stored CSG TA identifier. Also disclosed is a method for changing a mobility state of a WTRU. A current mobility state of the WTRU is determined and a predetermined metric of the WTRU is detected. The predetermined metric is evaluated to determine whether the metric has exceeded a threshold, and the mobility state is changed based on the evaluated metric if the metric is determined to have exceeded the threshold.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that the transmission rate for RACH/PRACH is limited in an existing 3GPP system so as to avoid excessive UL interference caused by WTRU when a burst is transmitted at a high rate on the RACH/PRACH, that the WTRU must select a transport format for transmission independently when an RACH access is obtained, and that no method exists for RAN to control the transmission rate of the WTRU dynamically on the RACH/PRACH.SOLUTION: In the method and device of controlling the transmission parameters, wireless resources are assigned on a random access channel of wireless communication by extending the random access channel.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for receiving high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) transmissions.SOLUTION: An HS-DSCH medium access control (MAC-ehs) entity receives MAC-ehs protocol data units (PDUs) via an HS-DSCH while in one of Cell_FACH, Cell_PCH, and URA_PCH states. Reordering PDUs included in the MAC-ehs PDUs may be sent to a next processing entity without reordering of the PDUs being performed. A certain reordering queue may enter a suspend state upon occurrence of a triggering event and MAC-ehs PDUs distributed to the reordering queue in the suspend state may be forwarded to the next processing entity without reordering being performed.
