20140023042 | Cellular Network Mobility - A method of providing for the transfer of an IP flow when a client is handed over from a first to a second radio layer node of a cellular communications network. The method comprises establishing said IP flow between a client and an application of a local service network within or connected to said first radio layer node, and sending said IP flow over a radio access bearer extending between the client and the first radio layer node, and maintaining within a mobility database a mapping between an identifier of the client, an IP address of said application, and an IP address of said local service network. Prior to or upon handover of the client from said first radio layer node to the second radio layer node, a request including the client identifier is sent from said second to said first radio layer node or to another node if the central mobility database is maintained in that other node. The client identifier contained in said request is used at said first radio layer node or said other node to identify said mapping in the mobility database, and the application and local service network IP addresses are sent from said first radio layer node or said other node, to said second radio layer node. The application and local service network IP addresses are received at said second radio layer node, and the received local service network IP address are used at said second radio layer node to establish a tunnel between the second radio layer node and said local service network. Said IP flow is switched from said radio access bearer to said tunnel for delivery to the client via said second radio layer node. | 2014-01-23 |
20140023043 | METHOD OF HANDOVER IN CARRIER AGGREGATION SCENARIOS - A method of handover in earner aggregation scenario is proposed in the present invention. In an embodiment of the present invention, the following steps are comprised: a base station sends a handover command to a user equipment, wherein the handover command includes information for indicating a Pcell and a Scell requiring a timing advance different from said Pcell; the user equipment receives the handover command, and performs a random access on said Pcell and the Scell requiring a timing advance different from said Pcell; the base station sends information for indicating corresponding timing advance to said user equipment, according to a successful random access of said user equipment on said Pcell and the Scell requiring a timing advance different from said Pcell By means of the technical solution provided in the present invention, the Pcell and the Scell requiring different timing advance in carrier aggregation scenarios can fee supported. In addition, in some embodiments, by supporting changing Pcell, the success rate of handover in carrier aggregation, scenarios is effectively improved, so an to avoid unnecessary connection reestablishment procedures. | 2014-01-23 |

20140023045 | ENHANCEMENT TO MULTIPLE HANDOVER PREPARATION - A communication system includes a plurality of base stations and a user equipment, wherein the communication link is established between the user equipment and a source base station of the plurality of base stations. A method includes: selecting a target cell and a re-establishment cell of at least one candidate handover base station of the plurality on the basis of a measurement report, the measurement report comprising measurements of attributes of cells of the plurality of base stations for a handover; initiating a handover preparation by transmitting a request from the source base station to the at least one candidate handover base station, wherein the request indicates the target cell and the re-establishment cell; carrying out admission control on the target cell and on the re-establishment cell; initiating the handover by transmitting a handover request acknowledgement from the at least one candidate handover base station to the source base station. | 2014-01-23 |
20140023046 | SOFT HANDOFF FOR OFDM - Various embodiments relate to soft handoffs in an OFDM system. Each mobile terminal measures pilot signal strengths of transmissions from adjacent base stations. If the pilot signal strength for a base station exceeds the defined threshold, that base station is added to an active set list. Each mobile terminal notifies the base stations of their active set lists. By providing the set list to the base station controller and the servicing base station, the mobile terminal identifies the sole servicing base station or triggers a soft handoff mode when multiple base stations appear on the active set list. The soft handoff mode uses a combination of scheduling and space-time coding to affect efficient and reliable handoffs. | 2014-01-23 |
20140023047 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PACKET GENERATION - According to an aspect of this disclosure, a communication device is provided comprising a first interface configured to receive a first packet supplied by a packet encoder; a determiner configured to determine a time difference between the time at which the first packet is ready to be sent by the communication device and a time at which communication resources for sending the first packet are available; a generator configured to generate information from which it is derivable when a second packet should be provided by the packet encoder based on the time difference; and a second interface configured to transmit the information to the packet encoder. | 2014-01-23 |
