Abstract:
A method is provided for a base station set (NODE B) adapted for RLC and MAC-hs signaling in acknowledged mode (AM), the base station set at least forwarding protocol data units (MAC-d PDU) from a Radio Network controller (RNC) to a user entity (UE), the method comprising the steps of monitoring (1) the MAC layer of the transmission entity of the base station set (1), if a MAC discard has occurred in the MAC layer (3), that is, protocol data units (PDU's) have been deleted in the input buffer of the base station set (NODE B), transmitting (7) a discard notification message from the MAC transmission entity in the base station set to the RLC layer of the radio network controller (RNC), indicative of the discarding of protocol data units. There is moreover provided a method for a radio network controller (RNC) adapted for RLC and MAC-hs signaling in acknowledged mode (AM) and a method for a user entity (UE) adapted for RLC and MAC-hs signaling.
Abstract:
In a wireline or wireless telecommunications system or data network, which employs a Selective Repeat Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) to convey data packet reception status for a sequence of data packets grouped together into a number of blocks of data packets, partial bit mapping is employed to improve efficiency, particularly with respect to bandwidth. This may be accomplished, more specifically, by including in the ARQ message that is sent from the receiver to the sender, a number of partial bitmaps, along with a corresponding number of bitmap block numbers, where a first bitmap block number identifies a particular one of the blocks of data packets and the corresponding bitmap defines the reception status of the data packets in that block. Each of the remaining bitmap block numbers identify an additional block of data packets relative to the first block of data packets. Accordingly, the remaining bitmap block numbers require fewer bits to identify their corresponding data packet blocks.
Abstract:
In a packet transmission system, especially wireless transmission system, where data is transmitted in packets at different error protection levels and where the error protection level of one packet (= the succeeding packet) may differ from the error protection level of a preceding packet without providing code termination between the said preceding and the said succeeding packet the performance may degrade in case a different error protection level is used by the preceding packet and the succeeding packet. The invention proposes in these cases to insert a supplementary packet between the preceding and the succeeding packet whereby the error protection level of the supplementary packet is higher than the lowest error protection level that is used either by the preceding or the succeeding packet.
Abstract:
Method of communicating frames of digital data by OFDM modulated signals comprising a first plurality of payload carrying sub-channels and a second plurality of pilot carrying sub-channels, whereby consecutive frames of payload data is are associated with a given pilot configuration and transmitted. Prior to the transmission of a frame of payload data, each of the plurality of pilot configurations are evaluated with regard to PAPR, whereby the pilot configuration being associated with the lowest PAPR value is beingchosen for transmission.
Abstract:
The invention refers to methods for power saving in a mobile terminal comprising a NIC, wireless Network Interface Card, used in a wireless LAN, WLAN or the like having at least one access point AP, said card either externally plugged in or built in or integrated in the PC, wherein the WLAN uses HIPERLAN Type 2 or IEEE 802.11 power save procedures and in which the mobile terminal uses an operating system supporting device power states, e.g. the OnNow device power states DO-D3, in which method the mobile terminal requests a transition from an active state D0 to a less active state, upon which request the NIC requests the access point AP to be entered into WLAN sleep state, and on acknowledgement from the access point the mobile terminal enters WLAN sleep state.

Abstract:
A wireless local area network (LAN) is operated so that a mobile terminal (MT) transmits various power-related information over an air interface to a power status repository (PSR) of the wireless local area network (LAN). For example, in one aspect of the invention, the mobile terminal transmits power status information, the power status information having an indication of whether the mobile terminal is currently operating using battery power or line power. The power status information is transmitted at one of the following times: (1) upon power-up of the mobile terminal; (2) upon command issued from the power status repository; (3) upon establishment of a connection between the mobile terminal and the LAN; and (4) upon a change in power status for the mobile terminal. In another aspect, the mobile terminal which transmits to the power status repository certain measurement capability information. The measurement capability information has an indication of whether the mobile terminal has a capacity to perform radio frequency measurements.
Abstract:
In a wireless local area network (LAN), such as one that is compatible with the HIPERLAN 2 standard, scheduling of long channel (LCH) PDUs and short channel (SCH) PDUs is based on an awareness of desired ARQ response time. Accordingly, mobile terminals and access points, particularly those that are communicating over time critical connections, are afforded a maximum amount of time to generate ARQ messages, while still achieving a fast response time. For example, in the more likely scenario where the uplink channel (ULCH) precedes the downlink channel (DLCH) in the Medium Access Control (MAC) data frame, the amount of time needed to generate an ARQ message may be maximized by scheduling the SCHs associated with a given connection so that they follow the corresponding LCHs in the ULCH of the MAC frame, and where the SCHs precede the corresponding LCHs in the DLCH of the MAC frame.
