In a wireless communication network where base stations receive protocol data units (PDUs) from mobile stations for decompression and deciphering for ordered, sequential transfer as service data units (SDUs) to an associated core network, the teachings presented herein provide a method of supporting seamless handover of a mobile station from a source base station to a target base station. By way of example, the teachings herein apply to a network based on the E-UTRA specifications, as promulgated by the 3GPP. However, that example is non-limiting, as the teachings herein apply to any network that employs in-sequence data delivery and duplicate data detection at handover. Broadly, the source base station forwards out-of-sequence SDUs and corresponding sequence number information to the target base station in support of seamless handover, and the target base station uses that information to request retransmissions as needed for packet reordering.

The present invention relates to a method in a cellular communication system, for avoiding errors in a HARQ process, wherein an NDI flag is used both for indicating either semi-persistent scheduling, SPS activation or SPS retransmissions, and also for indicating, by toggling of the flag, a new transmission in dynamic scheduling mode. The method comprises the steps of receiving, in a scheduling message, an indication that dynamically scheduled transmission will take place; if a semi persistent resource has occurred for the same HARQ process since a previously received indication for dynamically scheduled transmission, then considering the NDI flag to be toggled regardless of the value of the NDI flag. Thus, if the condition is fulfilled, a UE will always regard the NDI flag as indicating or requesting a new data transmission.

A method is provided in a receiving node for handling status information of data units transmitted from a sending node to the receiving node over a radio link. The receiving node establishes (401) that a number of data units that has been transmitted by the sending node are missing. The receiving node sends (402) a reduced status message to the sending node over the radio link, which message is reduced such that it comprises the negative acknowledgement for a first part of missing data units and omits negative acknowledgements for the rest of the missing data units. The omitted negative acknowledgement for the rest of the missing data units will not erroneously be interpreted as correctly received data units by the sending node.

In a communication system, activity of a transmitter (10), e.g., a UE, is controlled in response to a deactivation command (401). The transmitter (10) receives data on at least one transmission carrier and, if a received transmission of data is found to be defective, may send a repeat request to trigger a retransmission (404) of the data. In response to receiving the deactivation command (401), the transmitter (10) performs a check whether a retransmission (404) is expected on the at least one transmission carrier. If a retransmission (404) is expected, execution of the deactivation command (401) to deactivate the transmission carrier is delayed until the retransmission (404) is received or a timer has expired.

The present invention relates to a method in a cellular communication system, for avoiding errors in a HARQ process, wherein an NDI flag is used both for indicating either semi-persistent scheduling, SPS activation or SPS retransmissions, and also for indicating, by toggling of the flag, a new transmission in dynamic scheduling mode. The method comprises the steps of receiving, in a scheduling message, an indication that dynamically scheduled transmission will take place; if a semi persistent resource has occurred for the same HARQ process since a previously received indication for dynamically scheduled transmission, then considering the NDI flag to be toggled regardless of the value of the NDI flag. Thus, if the condition is fulfilled, a UE will always regard the NDI flag as indicating or requesting a new data transmission.

A method aims at controlling parameters used by communication terminals of a telecommunication system which enables discontinuous reception. The discontinuous reception involves DRX cycles during each one of which a communication terminal wakes up at least once to monitor a downlink control channel. The telecommunication system enables the use of DRX cycles of different lengths. The method includes a determining procedure (s10) comprising determining, on a per communication terminal basis, whether the communication terminal is eligible to rely on a terminal-controlled mobility procedure, wherein determining is based on at least one characteristic of the communication terminal. The method also includes a setting procedure (s20) comprising, at least for one of the possible outcomes of the determining procedure (s10), setting one or more parameters on the communication terminal accordingly.

The present disclosure relates to transmitting assistance information from a first node to a second node. In one embodiment, a first node includes a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. In response to transmitting a preference indicator for a first configuration to a second node via the wireless transmitter or receiving a reconfiguration request associated with the preference indicator for the first configuration, the first node starts a timer set to a value that defines an amount of time before the first node is permitted to transmit a preference indicator for a second configuration to the second node. The first node then blocks transmission of the preference indicator for the second configuration to the second node until the timer has expired. In this manner, excessive signaling of preference indicators from the first node to the second node is avoided.

Rate shaping for wireless communication using token bucket that allows token debt

Номер: CN102577569A
Автор: Isaksson Martin, Hurd, Wiemann Henning
Принадлежит:

A modified token bucket algorithm (100) in a rate shaping function (20) of a wireless communication network allows for the "borrowing'1 of tokens, creating the possibility of a token debt, or a token bucket with a negative Token Bucket Counter (TBC) value. In this modified algorithm, an incoming packet is passed along (112) so long as the TBC is positive (108), even if the packet must "borrow" some tokens, driving the TBC negative. Subsequent incoming packets are stalled (110) until the TBC reaches a positive value (108). In one embodiment, the modified token bucket algorithm (100) is not applied to a separate rate shaper, but rather to a queue size limiter (26) that operates with a scheduler (24) on a single queue (22). The inventive scheduler (24) and queue size limiter (26) deliver fewer, larger packets for transmission, allowing for more efficient packing within transmission frames (reducing or eliminating required padding), and allowing other traffic to be scheduled, thus increasing ...

The present invention relates to a method in a cellular communication system, for avoiding errors in a HARQ process, wherein an NDI flag is used both for indicating either semi-persistent scheduling, SPS activation or SPS retransmissions, and also for indicating, by toggling of the flag, a new transmission in dynamic scheduling mode. The method comprises the steps of receiving, in a scheduling message, an indication that dynamically scheduled transmission will take place; if a semi persistent resource has occurred for the same HARQ process since a previously received indication for dynamically scheduled transmission, then considering the NDI flag to be toggled regardless of the value of the NDI flag. Thus, if the condition is fulfilled, a UE will always regard the NDI flag as indicating or requesting a new data transmission.
