Abstract:
A method of transmitting scheduling information by a wireless communication device (200) to a network (112) for allocation of resources to the wireless communication device, comprises the steps of transmitting (500) to the network first scheduling information (SI1) relating to a first resource requirement and re-transmitting (516) the first scheduling information when the first scheduling information is not received by the network. Second scheduling information (SI2) relating to a second resource requirement subsequent to the first resource requirement is transmitted (512) to the network (112) in response to one of the first scheduling information having been received by the network and the first scheduling information having not been received by the network after a predetermined number of re-transmissions of the first scheduling information. The generation of scheduling information may be initiated in response to a trigger event such as a periodic trigger event or a non-periodic trigger event.
Abstract:
A method for a radiotelephone to scan for a higher priority (including home) public land mobile network (PLMN) without searching in all possible RATs and frequencies includes a first step of establishing an inclusive list of all frequencies in all radio access technologies (RATs) in use by the higher priority or home public land mobile network. A next step includes camping the radiotelephone on the higher priority or home PLMN. A next step includes obtaining the inclusive list from the establishing step by the camped radiotelephone from the higher priority or home PLMN. Afterwards, when the radiotelephone roams to a lower priority visited PLMN, it can begin scanning for the home (and higher priority) PLMN using only those frequencies from the inclusive list, thereby saving battery power.
Abstract:
Procedimiento para interrumpir una transmisión de una señal de multidifusión, comprendiendo el procedimiento: determinar un identificador común para una pluralidad de dispositivos móviles sobre un canal común; enviar el identificador común a la pluralidad de dispositivos móviles; transmitir la señal de multidifusión sobre el canal común; e interrumpir la transmisión de la señal de multidifusión durante un intervalo de tiempo determinado por el identificador común.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for interrupting a transmission of a multicast signal includes a common channel selector (106) coupled to a receiver (102) to receive common channel information (116) therefrom. A repetition value calculator (108) receives measurement occasion information (118) from the common channel selector (106) to calculate a repetition factor (120). A system frame number comparator (110) determines if a channel measurement occasion (128) should be performed based on the repetition factor (120), a common identifier (124) and a largest common channel transmission time interval (122). The method and apparatus further includes a measurement occasion generator (112) coupled to the system frame number comparator (110), wherein if a measurement occasion is to be performed, a measurement occasion command signal (126) is provided to the measurement occasion generator (112) and the measurement occasion generator generates the channel measurement occasion (128).

Abstract:
A communication system (100) determines whether to establish a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication for conveyance of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) data based on a number of user equipments (102-104) being serviced by the communication system for MBMS service. The system broadcasts an access probability factor (154) in a control message to the user equipments. For a large number of MBMS users being counted (158), the method will select a point-to-multipoint broadcast (160). If the number of user equipments being counted is relatively small, the access probability factor is modified by a ratio of the number of point-to-point connections over the point-to-multipoint connections over the number of users being counted (174). The UE may need to join multiple base stations' in the counting procedure to obtain the system diversity gain.
Abstract:
Una terminal de comunicacion inalambrica movil, por ejemplo, el equipo de usuario 3G UMTS (UE), y metodos que incluyen recibir (310) una notificacion de un cambio en una celda que da servicio a la terminal de comunicacion inalambrica movil, y transmitir (320) informacion de programacion para una nueva celda que da servicio en respuesta a recibir la notificacion del cambio de celda que da servicio. En las aplicaciones 3G UMTS, la notificacion es una asignacion de canal dedicado mejorado (E-DCH), y la informacion de programacion incluye la memoria intermedia y transmitir la informacion de espacio libre de potencia es transmitida en una unidad de datos de protocolo de control (Mac-e) de acceso medio mejorado (PDU).
Abstract:
A method in a wireless communication terminal (300) comprises initiating a first radio link control reset procedure, and receiving a message after initiating the radio link control reset procedure and before the radio link reset procedure is complete. The message contains an instruction to set a protocol data unit size. The method further comprises initiating a second radio link control reset procedure after setting the protocol data unit size.
