Abstract:
There is disclosed a method in a User Equipment, UE, for enabling interception, decoding and/or processing of at least parts of a Media Access Control, MAC, level message. The method comprises the steps of receiving configuration information comprising information to add additional information to a MAC level message, and creating a bit string representing the additional information. The method also comprise the step of adding the created bit string to the MAC level message, to enable a recipient of said MAC level message to determine, based on the additional information represented by the bit string, whether at least part of a payload of the MAC level message is to be intercepted, decoded and/or processed. There is further disclosed a method in a base station for decoding a corresponding MAC level message. A corresponding User Equipment, UE, and a base station configured for the methods are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Mechanisms are described that are useful if source and target radio configuration for a UE used in the RRC message uses E-DCH. Thus, when a UE having a common E-DCH resource receives a pre-defined message, the message in particular being an RRC Radio Bearer (RB) Reconfiguration message or an RRC RB Setup message or an RRC Connection setup, moving the UE to CELL_DCH state with E-DCH configured in the target state, the UE is configured to hold on to the common E-DCH resource.
Abstract:
In one of its aspects the technology disclosed herein concerns a wireless terminal (30) which is configured to communicate over a radio interface (32) with a radio access network. The wireless terminal (30) comprises a timer (52) and a timer controller (54). The timer (52) is configured to determine when to release an Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH) resource utilized on an uplink from the wireless terminal (30) to the network. The timer controller (54) is configured to initialize or adjust the timer with a timer value received from the network, the timer value being for a mode in which the network has commanded the wireless terminal to request a common E-DCH resource.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system are described relating to a time when a wireless terminal reports an event to a network. An event to be reported to the network is detected by the wireless terminal. A communications condition affecting a communication between the wireless terminal and the network is determined, and based on the detected communications condition, a dynamic time-to-trigger period is adjusted so that the event is reported by the wireless terminal to the network before the time-to-trigger period expires.
Abstract:
Techniques for supporting concurrent deployment of 2-millisecond and 10-millisecond TTI for E-DCH transmissions in CELL_FACH state and Idle Mode are disclosed. One example method comprises receiving a (310) transport block from a mobile terminal, wherein said transport block is transmitted using either a 10-millisecond or 2-millisecond TTI, and sending (320), to an RNC, an indication of whether data carried by the transport block was transmitted using the 10-millisecond TTI or the 2-millisecond TTI. In some embodiments, the indication is sent in a user plane frame sent over a base-station-to-RNC interface. A spare bit in an uplink data frame sent to the RNC may be used, for example.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to a method in a network node (12, 14) for signalling Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, configuration for a common enhanced dedicated channel configuration in a radio communications network (1). The network node (12, 14) is comprised in the radio communications network (1) and serves a user equipment (10). The network node (12,14) determines a state of a HARQ process of a transmission time interval out of a number of HARQ processes for a common enhanced dedicated channel configuration. The state is defining whether the HARQ process is active or inactive. The network node (12, 14) signals the HARQ configuration for the common enhanced dedicated channel configuration by broadcasting a value representing the state of the HARQ process.
