Abstract:
In a method and a device for requesting Channel Quality Indication (CQI) reports from a mobile station of a cellular radio system, the CQI reports are requested in response to a measured Block Error Rate (BLER) of transmissions from the mobile station. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention a CQI report is requested if the BLER of the mobile station is above a predetermined threshold value C. The threshold value C can be set to a value related to the BLER target. In particular the value C can be set to the same value or as a value close the BLER that is targeted to try to adapt the CQI report request to how well the base station knows the channel. It can also be set higher or lower to also consider how much CQI reporting the base station estimates can be afforded when it comes to uplink resources and uplink grant signaling in the downlink.
Abstract:
A radio communications link is established between radio stations, and a semi-persistent radio resource is allocated to support data transmission over the communications link. The semi-persistent radio resource is associated with a corresponding automatic repeat request (ARQ) process identifier. Non-limiting examples of a semi-persistent radio resource include a regularly scheduled transmission time interval, frame, subframe, or time slot during which to transmit a data unit over the radio interface. Retransmission is requested of a data unit transmitted using the semi-persistent radio resource. The ARQ process identifier associated with the semi-persistent resource is used to match a retransmission of a data unit dynamically scheduled on the communications link with the requested data unit retransmission. In a preferred example embodiment, the ARQ process identifier is a hybrid ARQ (HARQ) process, where a retransmitted data unit is combined with a previously-received version of the data unit.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention relate to the scheduling of resources in a telecommunication system that includes a mobile terminal and base station. In one embodiment, the mobile terminal sends an initial scheduling request to a base station. Subsequently, the mobile terminal does not transmit a scheduling request to the base station unless and until a scheduling request triggering event is detected.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for signaling scheduling information in a multi-carrier wireless communications system (700), as well as corresponding methods and apparatus for processing such signaling information, are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises scheduling (610) first and second transport blocks for simultaneous transmission during a first transmission interval on first and second component carriers, and transmitting (620) a common re-transmission process identifier for the first transmission interval. The method further comprises scheduling (640) at least one of the first and second transport blocks for re-transmission during a second transmission interval, along with a third transport block, and transmitting (660) second scheduling information for the second transmission interval, the second scheduling information comprising the same common re-transmission process identifier.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to a method performed in a wireless terminal (10) for managing or handling uplink, UL, data transmissions in a radio communications network (1), wherein the wireless terminal (10) is served by a first radio base station (12) and a second radio base station (13) providing dual connectivity to the wireless terminal (10) in the radio communications network (1). The wireless terminal (10) transmits a buffer status report, BSR, to the first and/or second radio base station when a trigger is being fulfilled as configured at the wireless terminal (10). Furthermore, the wireless terminal (10) handles multiplexing of an uplink data transmission towards the first and second radio base stations according to a static configuration defining how to multiplex Media Access Control Service Data Units, MAC SDUs, from one or different logical channels onto transport blocks to be delivered to a physical layer on transport channels of a given radio base station out of the first radio base station and the second radio base station; and/or according to a second configuration where if there is data available for multiple logical channels with equal priority towards one of the radio base stations, then data of a logical channel for which the buffer status report is configured towards a radio base station providing a grant, is prioritized.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for filtering uplink data in a radio communication system. The present disclosure more specifically relates to a method performed in a radio device 100. The method comprises receiving, over a radio interface, a message comprising at least one barring parameter associated with a characteristic of a logical bearer 30 between the radio device and a core network 300. The method also comprises determining that an uplink data packet is associated with the characteristic of the logical bearer. The method also comprises determining, based at least on the barring parameter, whether access for transmitting the UL data packet 10 over the radio interface is allowed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for communicating a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) between a transmitter unit and a receiver unit in a wireless communication network. Said PDU comprising protocol headers associated with at least a first and a second protocol layers involved in the communication and a payload to be communicated. The method comprises the step of interacting between the at least first and second protocol layers, such that the sum of the bits of the protocol headers is n-bit aligned such as octet aligned independently of non-alignment of at least one of the protocol headers comprised in the PDU.
