A method for reselection of a cell in a wireless network comprises a) detecting that a level of a current serving cell is below a threshold defined for the current serving cell; b) determining the availability of a target cell at a lower or equal priority layer than the current serving cell; c) determining, for at least one available target cell at a lower or equal priority layer than the current serving cell, whether the available target cell has a level above a threshold defined for the available target cell; and d) selecting the available target cell if the determination at c) is affirmative; if the determination at c) is negative, using a hysteresis to select any target cell with a level better than the serving cell.

Method and system for inter-frequency or inter-RAT cell reselection

Systems and techniques for managing priorities are disclosed. A network sending broadcast and/or dedicated priorities to a mobile terminal may include priorities with respect to a radio access technology that does not support priority based reselection, such as for a legacy network that does not support priority based reselection. Priorities may be supplied to a mobile terminal to allow cell reselection decisions without using different cell reselection mechanisms in parallel. An indication of a plurality candidate cells with respect to cell reselection of a mobile terminal may be received and then a priority may be assigned to each candidate cells, where at least one candidate cell of the plurality of candidate cells does not support priority based cell reselection. The priorities may be provided to the mobile terminal.

Method, apparatus and computer program product for priority based cell reselection in a multi-RAT environment

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for measurement reporting In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a user equipment from a base station, a first message providing one or more parameters for measurement reporting, selecting one or more first cells from among a plurality of cells, wherein the selecting is based on at least one comparison value determined based on at least one reporting threshold defined for at least one of a plurality of radio access technologies being used by at least one of the plurality of cells, wherein the at least one reporting threshold is further defined based on at least one measurement quantity used for the at least one of a plurality of radio access technologies, and sending, by the user equipment to the base station, one or more measurement results for the selected one or more first cells, the one or more measurement results included m the measurement report message, when the measurement report message lacks capacity to report valid measurement results for each of the plurality of cells, wherein the one or more results are included based on the at least one comparison value including the at least one reporting threshold. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

A method of allocating uplink radio resources to a mobile device, in which uplink and downlink timeslots are allocated, and the sum of the allocated uplink timeslots and the allocated downlink timeslots within a predetermined period is less than the total number of assigned time slots and does not exceed a predetermined maximum. The resources are allocated in a reduced transmission time interval configuration, in which an indication of the uplink timeslot allocation is received from the network in a downlink timeslot, or downlink timeslot pair, directing the mobile device to transmit only in one uplink timeslot pair.

Method of allocating uplink radio resources

An indication is sent from a mobile station to a network regarding the capability of the mobile station to receive or transmit on two or more carriers simultaneously. The network determines an ideal multi-carrier multi-slot capability of the mobile station from an existing capability indication for single carrier transmission mode of the mobile station; and the mobile station sends in an additional field an indication in respect of a reduction in number of time slots from the ideal multi-carrier multi-slot capability determined by the network.

Method of indicating mobile station capability to a network

A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided that may enable a network sending broadcast and/or dedicated priorities to a mobile terminal to also include priorities with respect to a RAT that does not support the priority algorithm. As such, for example, priority parameters for a legacy network that does not support the priority algorithm may be supplied to a mobile terminal to enable the mobile terminal to make cell reselection decisions without running two different cell reselection algorithms in parallel (e.g., a ranking based algorithm and a priority based algorithm). The provided method includes the steps of receiving an indication of a plurality candidate cells with respect to said cell reselection of a mobile terminal; assigning, toward each of said plurality of candidate cells, a priority, wherein at least one candidate cell of the plurality of candidate cells does not support priority based cell reselection; and providing said priorities to said mobile terminal.

An application encoder generates independently accessible symbols and these symbols are aggregated by symbol aggregation means into a packet payload. The aggregated symbols in the packet payload are transported in a defined packet structure. These packets are transported over a channel by a packet transmitter that segments the packets into different segments by segmentation means. A segment receiver included in a first entity has the ability to detect whether a certain segment is lost and also knows the length of the lost segment. The segments are aggregated in the first entity to form at least one packet conforming to the packet stream. A symbol parser entity recovers the symbols and passes the individual symbols to an application decoder. The symbol parser in the second entity recovers, from the recovered non-lost information of each received packet, individual symbols.

Method for indicating lost segments

In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention there is at least a method, apparatus, and executable computer program to perform operations including receiving at a user equipment information from a network access node, prioritizing capability information of the user equipment in accordance with the received information, and transmitting all or at least part of the prioritized capability information to the network access node.
