A mobile communication device for avoiding location exposure in a User Equipment (UE) information procedure includes a wireless transceiver configured to perform wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The device further includes a controller, configured to determine whether a Radio Resource Control (RRC) security has been activated between the mobile communication device and the service network, and in response to the RRC security not having been activated, does not send a measurement report to the service network via the wireless transceiver after receiving measurement configuration message, wherein the controller is further configured to send the measurement report after the RRC security has been activated.

Apparatuses and methods for avoiding location exposure

A method for performing a cell reselection process in a wireless communications system is provided. The method is used in a communications apparatus camping on a serving cell. The method includes: receiving priority information about a priority order of frequencies of candidate cells from a network operator; performing a cell reselection evaluation process to select a target cell from the serving cell and the candidate cells; and performing a cell reselection process from the serving cell to the target cell directly without passing through any intervening cell.

A mobile communication device for avoiding location exposure in a User Equipment (UE) information procedure includes a wireless transceiver, configured to perform wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The device also includes a controller, configured to determine whether a Radio Resource Control (RRC) security has been activated between the mobile communication device and the service network, and in response to the RRC security not having been activated and location information of the mobile communication device being present, send a first measurement report without the location information of the mobile communication device to the service network via the wireless transceiver or does not send a second measurement report comprising the location information of the mobile communication device; to the service network via the wireless transceiver after receiving measurement configuration message.

A mobile communication device including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The controller determines whether a Radio Resource Control (RRC) security has been activated between the mobile communication device and the service network when receiving measurement configuration from the service network via the wireless transceiver. In response to the RRC security not having been activated and location information of the mobile communication device being present, the controller sends a first measurement report not including the location information of the mobile communication device to the service network via the wireless transceiver, or the controller does not send a second measurement report including the location information of the mobile communication device to the service network via the wireless transceiver.

This invention relates to a method for performing Power Headroom reporting procedure, adapted for a user equipment, wherein the user equipment is operated in a plurality of activated serving cells, the method includes the steps of: providing a prohibitPHR-Timer; obtaining a plurality of downlink path loss values respectively corresponding to the activated serving cells; triggering a power headroom report when the prohibitPHR-Timer expires or has expired and at least one of the downlink path loss values has changed more than a PathlossChange threshold since the last transmission of a PHR; and reporting the power headroom report.

An enhanced RLC STATUS PDU format is used in a wireless communication network in which a sender transmits AMD PDUs to a receiver, and the receiver responds a STATUS PDU. In the STATUS PDU, an ACK_SN field is provided for indicating the SN of a next not received AMD PDU which is not reported as missing in the STATUS PDU, and an Efield is provided for indicating whether a set of NACK_SN, E, and Efields follows or not. The NACK_SN field indicates a AMD PDU that has been detected as lost at the receiver. The Efield indicates whether a set of SOstart, SOend, and Efields follows or not. The SOstart field indicates the first byte in the AMD PDU with SN=NACK_SN that has been detected as lost. The SOend field indicates the last byte in the AMD PDU with SN=NACK_SN that has been detected as lost.

A method for avoiding unnecessary excessive stay of short cycle in discontinuous reception mechanism begins by using the short cycle while the short cycle timer is running. Then, it determines whether the inactivity timer expires or not and whether the short cycle timer expires or not. If the inactivity timer expires but the short cycle timer does not expire, the short cycle is used. If the short cycle timer expires but the inactivity timer does not expire, the long cycle is used. If the inactivity timer and the short cycle timer expire at the same time, either the short cycle or the long cycle is selected for use.

Method for avoiding unnecessary excessive stay of short cycle in discontinuous reception mechanism

In a method for optimizing discontinuous reception mechanism in random access or scheduling request, the user equipment behaves according to a TTI window and a contention resolution timer so that the user equipment is at active time to monitor PDCCH. In the random access, the UE is at active time while a PDCCH indicating a new transmission addressed to the C-RNTI of the UE has not been received after successful reception of a Random Access Response for the non-contention preamble. In the scheduling request, the UE is at active time while an UL grant for the UE has not been received after SR has been sent.

A method for providing a buffer status report in a mobile communication network is implemented between a base station and a user equipment. When data arrives to buffers of the user equipment and the priority of a logical channel for the data is higher than those of other logical channels for existing data in the buffers, a short buffer status report associated with the buffer of a logical channel group corresponding to the arrival data is triggered. The user equipment is based on obtained resources allocated by the base station to fill all data of the buffer of the logical channel group in a Protocol Data Unit. If all data of the buffer of the logical channel group corresponding to the arrival data can be completely filled in the Protocol Data Unit, the short buffer status report is canceled. Otherwise, the user equipment transmits the short buffer status report.
