Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To evaluate one communication network while performing communication in another communication network by improving compression mode communication. SOLUTION: A compressed frame is structured to include a first part, a second part and a separation slot between the first part and the second part. The number of user devices allocated to the first part and the number of devices allocated to the second part are determined. A new user device is allocated to the side having a smaller number of allocated user devices out of the first part and the second part. By this method of compression mode communication, the user device evaluates one communication network while performing communication in another communication network. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods in mobile wireless communication devices for configuring the devices based upon base station information on a network broadcast channel. SOLUTION: The method in a mobile wireless communication device includes the steps of: receiving base station information on a network broadcast channel from a plurality of base stations; configuring the mobile wireless communication device in accordance with configuration information for the base station without re-selecting the base station for the configuration information; transmitting identity of the base station in response to receiving a paging request; and receiving a setup message including the configuration information after transmitting the identity of the base station.

Abstract:
A mobile communication device (101), and a method of operating a mobile communication device (101), includes storing at least one frame of a communication signal received from a network, and applying flow control to the lower layers (302, 304, 306) to support network reselection. According to one aspect of the invention, a message is transmitted indicating that a virtual bearer mode (312) of operation is supported by the mobile communication device (101). The mobile communication device (101) selectively operates in the virtual bearer mode (312) depending upon the response received following such transmission. Additionally, flow control may advantageously be dependent upon detecting that a cell change is imminent.
Abstract:
A method for determining location technology supported by a wireless communications network including sending (505) a location request, for example a MO-LR request, from a mobile wireless subscriber device to the network, receiving a network response (515) in reply to the location request, determining the subscriber device location technology supported by the network from the network response (535,550), and in some embodiments the location technology of the subscriber device is controlled based on the technology supported by the network.
Abstract:
A method for sending acknowledged transport data between a mobile station (202) and a base station system (208) in a GPRS system (200) in which a protocol control unit (214) counts the number of data blocks in an acknowledgement message sent by the mobile station in response to a data packet transmission. A heuristic is then defined, based on the number of data blocks counted, and the number of corresponding data blocks corresponding to a subsequent data packet transmission is compared with the heuristic to determine that a virtual acknowledgement channel is being requested when the number of corresponding data blocks in the subsequent packet data transmission is less than the heuristic.
Abstract:
A communication system including a mobile sending a plurality of uplink radio link control data blocks (328, 332, 336, 340) to a base station in an uplink temporary block flow and receiving a plurality of downlink radio link control data blocks (326, 330, 334, 338, 342) from the base station in a downlink temporary block flow. A GPRS/EDGE subsystem having a mobile station medium access control layer is located in the mobile and communicates with a protocol control unit having a base station medium access control layer in the base station.
Abstract:
A method for universal mobile telephone service synchronization by a mobile station operating in a GSM dedicated mode in a wireless communication system including a mobile station sending voice signals to and receiving voice signals from a base station. A voice activity detector transmits control information indicating detection of voice activity at the mobile station, and an equalizer identifies and processes a training sequence and transmitting corresponding information for the training sequence. A physical layer interface determines whether the mobile station is utilizing discontinuous transmission mode, based on the control information from the voice activity detector, and determines whether the based station is utilizing discontinuous transmission mode, based on the correlation information from the equalizer, and universal mobile telephone service synchronization is performed in response to the mobile station and the base station utilizing discontinuous transmission mode.
Abstract:
A method in a mobile wireless communications network including sending (210) a reselection communication from a mobile station to a network, and receiving (220) from the network in response to the reselection communication, cell reselection assistance, for example, a new cell assignment. In one embodiment, the mobile station disables cell reselection.
Abstract:
A method (500) and a mobile station (160) for controlling communication via a radio link based on a multi-slot based power class designation are described herein. The mobile station (160) may provide a multi-slot based power class designation to the communication network (110) to establish a radio link for communication service. The designation may be associated with a power level of the mobile station (160) and a number of slots corresponding to the power level. Based on the designation, the mobile station (160) may communicate with the communication network (110) via the radio link.
