For each target cell determined by a handover decision process, a first message is transmitted from a source base station (S) to a target base station (T) servicing that target cell. The first message includes an identifier of a wireless device () having a communication link with the source base station and information for obtaining authentication data for this wireless device. The authentication data depends on a secret key available to the wireless device and the source base station and on an identity of the target cell. Upon failure of the communication link, a cell is selected at the wireless device, which transmits to that cell a reestablishment request message including its identifier and authentication data depending on the secret key and on an identity of the selected cell. If the selected cell is a target cell serviced by a target base station that received a first message, conformity of the authentication data included in the reestablishment request message with the authentication data obtained from this first message is verified to authorize transfer of the communication link to the selected cell.

The method provides buffer status reporting for the transmission of uplink data from a wireless device to a base station. Uncompressed data is stored in a first buffer of the wireless device. A buffer status report is transmitted from the wireless device to the base station, where the buffer status report contains information indicating an amount of the uncompressed data to be transmitted from the wireless device. The information is dependent on the amount of the uncompressed data stored in the first buffer.

Wireless device and method of transmitting uplink data and buffer status reports in a wireless communications system

In a wireless mobile communications system, the system information is grouped or classified in different types according to the characteristics of the system information, and the system information is transmitted to channels with specific functions that allow the optimization of the resource usage and the reception by the User Equipment (UE).

Method of transmitting/receiving LTE system information in a wireless communication system

A method for generating an uplink transmission burst includes using one or more symbols to define the uplink transmission burst, and forming a preamble portion and a payload portion for the uplink transmission burst. The preamble portion is formed using at least a portion of one or more of the symbols, such that the preamble portion includes a signature that is defined in a predetermined signature set. The payload portion is formed using at least a portion of one or more of the symbols. Typically, at least a portion of the preamble portion and at least a portion of the payload portion are formed using the same symbol.

Method for payload part transmission on contention channels

According to one embodiment, a method of requesting a random access connection between a mobile terminal and a base station includes: receiving, by the mobile terminal, information comprising at least one signature root sequence index, a cyclic shift parameter, and a number of signatures used for representing a boundary between a first signature set and a second signature set; preparing, by the mobile terminal, random access signatures according to the at least one signature root sequence index and the cyclic shift parameter, wherein at least one of the random access signatures is associated with the first signature set and the remaining of the random access signatures are associated with the second signature set; and selecting, by the mobile terminal, a random access preamble from the first signature set or the second signature set based on a message size and a radio condition.

Signaling for preamble used for random access

Methods for allocating and choosing dedicated signatures for random access are provided. Options for allocating dedicated signatures include allocating the dedicated signature from the unused space of the random signature root index when there is unused space and allocating more dedicated signatures from the same root index using the same time/frequency resources if additional signatures are needed, and reserving some preambles from the contention-based random access preambles from both sets of preambles. The present invention also proposes that the dedicated signatures be reserved in each of two sets of preambles.

Dedicated signature allocation and choice

In a wireless mobile communications system, a method for processing control information allows the operations of a mobile terminal to be simplified and permits efficient use of resources for the mobile terminal. The network instructs in advance, the transmission of control information, such as system information and the like, via a single indicator channel. The mobile terminal receives this single indicator channel and uses the indicator information that was transmitted via the indicator channel in order to receive the control information.

Method for processing control information in a wireless mobile communication system

A method for providing message protection includes generating a ciphered message based upon a first counter, a message, and a ciphering key. The method further includes generating an unciphered message authentication code (MAC) based upon the first counter, an integrity protection key, and either the message or the ciphered message, and transmitting security protected data, which includes the MAC and the ciphered message, over a transmission medium.

Security considerations for the LTE of UMTS

The present invention provides a method of and a network entity for processing a random access preamble. The network entity comprises a transceiver for receiving an random access preamble; and a processor for determining if the random access preamble is successfully detected, and for determining, in the case where the random access preamble is not successfully detected, if a combined preamble resulting from a combination of the random access preamble with a previous random access preamble received at the network entity prior to reception of the random access preamble and having an identical signature to the signature of the random access preamble, is successfully detected.

Random access channel preamble detection

A method of receiving control information by a terminal in a mobile communications system having a single control channel and a plurality of common channels and having a network that periodically transmits the control information via the control channel, the method comprising: periodically receiving the control channel; detecting, at a particular time, an identifier from the received control channel; and receiving data via a particular common channel that is indicated by control information that includes the detected identifier.
