There is disclosed in a packet switched network a method of encoding at least two packets into a single block. Each packet is associated with a header portion. The at least two packets are associated with the same user. The method comprises encoding the at least two packets and only one of the associated header portions. An EDGE network utilizing such a method is also disclosed.

A system for providing statistical multiplexing of speech, other real-time data services and non-real-time data services for point to point and point to multipoint communications. The system has fast access and assignment procedures that allow the multiplexing of real-time, delay-critical data services with non-real-time data services. Continuity of periodic control channels across speech talkspurt and silence periods for conversational voice is maintained to carry signal measurement reports, channel quality feedback, and 'comfort' noise information between different parts of the system.

In the GPRS, a method of decoding uplink status having reduced interleaving depth in a RLC/MAC block is proposed; for RT-EGPRS users, all of the uplink flag bits are provided in the first burst of the four bursts; and for EGPRS users, nine bits of the uplink status flags are provided in the first burst of the RLC/MAC block and the remaining bits in the next three bursts. On receiving the first nine bits, a mobile performs an autocorrelation to identify the USF whether it belongs to the EGPRS or to the RT-EGPRS group.

Mobile terminal and base station in a packet radio services network

The system includes a network having a base controller ( ) and a mobile station ( ). The base controller ( ) has a packet measurement order unit ( ) which causes a package measurement reporter ( ) in the mobile station to provide a measurement report. This report is stored in a buffer ( ) and compared with reference values on a reference unit ( ). If a change of cell is warranted, a packet cell change order unit ( ) issues a command which is recorded by packet cell change unit ( ) of the mobile station to retune the transmitter and receiver ( and ) to a new cell. The mobile station also has a unit ( ) which generates a package cell change request to the base controller ( ) to initiate a package cell change order from the unit ( ) when a change is warranted.
