Abstract:
In a 3GPP standards Release 6 UMTS system, in order to avoid searching at NodeB for a maximum E-DPCCH-associated metric at discrete possible valid index values, or over disjoint possible valid index regions, at the UE the three different sources of information, the fixed number bits that comprise the RSN, TFI and the H-bit components of the E-DPCCH bit field, are mapped so that the decimal equivalents of the possible E-DPCCH indices lie within a continuous range of values.
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling encoded transmissions in a wireless system. On the transmitting end of the system, the method comprises transmitting a message having a first non-encoded portion and a second encoded portion. The first non-encoded portion has information contained therein regarding decoding the second encoded portion. On the receiving end of the system, the method comprises receiving a first message and determining if a portion of the first message contains unencoded information. The unencoded information is used to decode an encoded portion of the first message.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a mobile terminal for communicating with a base station in a packet radio services network. The terminal has a processor for determining one of a plurality of channels for communication between the mobile terminal and the base station; for digitally coding speech to provide speech information; for assembling speech information into speech packets; and for generating channel allocation requests for a channel in which to send speech packets. A radio transmitter is provided for transmitting the requests and the packets to a base station in the network. A radio receiver receives identities of channels allocated by the base station for the mobile terminal to transmit on. The processor is responsive to each received channel allocation to determine that packets are sent on the allocated channel. In the GPRS since a channel is released when there is no packet to transmit, higher traffic levels can be obtained using the same number of radio channels.
Abstract:
A method of wireless telecommunication is provided. The method includes accessing a plurality of first data packets having a first size, accessing at least one second data packet having a second size, the second size being larger than the first size, forming a plurality of third data packets comprising portions of the at least one second data packet based upon the first and second sizes, and selecting at least one of the plurality of first data packets based upon the plurality of third data packets.

Abstract:
A radio network controller (RNC) (12) acting as a servicing RNC (12) selectively directs paging messages to a drift RNC (14) when a mobile phone is so located that it can communicate with both. The servicing RNC (12) includes a paging header generator (32) which adds to the paging message a header indicative of the type or priority of the paging message. The drift RNC (14) employs a paging header reader (36A) to read the header so that the paging messages received can be properly prioritized or scheduled.
