This could be done for E-RACH by repeating the kind of signalling defined for R99 RACH and transmitted on the BCH (Broadcast Control Channel). However, this would imply a significant extra load on the BCH, which is undesirable. | 2014-05-22 |
20140140304 | CONTENTION-BASED TRANSMISSION WITH CONTENTION-FREE FEEDBACK FOR REDUCING LATENCY IN LTE ADVANCED NETWORKS AND ENHANCED PUCCH - Methods for contention-based transmission with contention-free feedback for reduced latency in LTE Advanced networks and an enhanced PUCCH are generally disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may transmit a contention sequence on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to an enhanced-Node B (eNB) and may concurrently transmit data requesting uplink resources on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to the eNB. The contention sequence is transmitted on the PUCCH in accordance with a format that is assigned by the eNB. The contention sequence is either randomly selected by the UE or assigned by the eNB. When the contention sequence and data are not successfully received by the eNB, the UE may fall back to a more conventional random access channel (RACH) procedure for uplink resource allocation. | 2014-05-22 |
20140140305 | MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS TERMINAL AND METHOD - A mobile communications terminal communicates data using a mobile communications network that includes base stations and mobility managers that can send and receive signalling packets for controlling user data communications between communications terminals and a destination. The communications terminal can communicate packets with the base stations via a wireless access interface provided by the base stations and send a signalling packet to the mobility managers, the signalling packet including user data intended for a destination, prior to establishing a signalling connection with the mobility managers. The mobility managers can, upon receiving a signalling packet from a communications terminal, detect the packet is not associated with any established signalling connection between the mobility managers and the communication device. The mobility managers can, responsive to the detection, transmit the user data in the signalling packet to the destination. Accordingly a short message may be sent in a reduced context or context-less manner. | 2014-05-22 |
