Abstract:
A method for transmitting packet data units Packet Data Units (PDUs) at a PDU transmitter in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a first PDU comprising a PDU header and a data portion, receiving Negative Acknowledgement NACK information for the first PDU, segmenting the first PDU to form one or more PDU segments if a size of a second PDU for retransmission is smaller than a size of the first PDU, wherein each of the one or more PDU segment comprises a PDU segment header and a data portion, and transmitting the one or more PDU segment to a PDU receiver.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for initiating communications on a shared channel in a mobile communication system are provided. A user equipment transmits an uplink signal for requesting communications on the shared channel to a Node B, and waits for a delay duration without monitoring a downlink after transmitting the uplink signal. When the delay duration has elapsed, the user equipment monitors the downlink during a valid period and determines whether a downlink signal responding to the uplink signal is received in a transmission time interval within the valid period. When the downlink signal is received in the valid period, the user equipment transmits and receives data on the shared channel.
Abstract:
A paging apparatus and method in a mobile communication system providing an MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service). In the mobile communication system, to page a UE for a first service through a primary carrier during a second service in progress through a secondary carrier, a PICH (Paging Indication Channel) transmitter in a Node B transmits paging indication information to the UE through the primary carrier by oscillating the primary carrier as a transmission frequency. A PCH (Paging Channel) transmitter transmits paging information to the UE through the primary carrier or the secondary carrier by oscillating the primary carrier or the secondary carrier as the transmission frequency under a predetermined control. A PBMSCH (Physical Broadcast Multicast Shared Channel) transmitter transmits data of the second service through the secondary carrier by oscillating the secondary carrier as the transmission frequency. A controller controls the primary carrier or the secondary carrier to be oscillated as the transmission frequency of the PCH transmitter if the paging indication information indicates paging.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for communication between a UE and a node B in a communication system. The UE generates a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) comprising at least one media access control service data unit (MAC SDU) and at least one field related to an amount of data. Each of the at least one field related to the amount of data corresponds to a respective identifier, and the at least one field related to the amount of data is placed prior to the at least one MAC SDU in the MAC PDU. The MAC PDU comprising the at least one MAC SDU and the at least one field related to the amount of data is transmitted to the node B. Grant information is received from the node B. Data is transmitted to the node B based on the grant information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for setting up an UpLink common bearer shared by a plurality of User Equipments (UEs) in a wireless communication network is provided. The apparatus includes a Serving GateWay (S-GW) for receiving a group identifier of a UE from a Mobility Management Entity (MME), sending a create bearer request message including the group identifier to a Packet Data Network (PDN) GateWay (P-GW), receiving a create bearer response message including UL common S5 bearer information (UL common S5 info) for a group corresponding to the group identifier from the P-GW, and sending a create bearer response message including UL common S1 bearer information (UL common S1 info) to the MME, and the P-GW for receiving the create bearer request message from the S-GW, and generating and sending the create bearer response message including the UL common S5 info.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for communication between a user equipment (UE) and a node B in a communication system. The UE generates a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) including at least one field related to an amount of data, if the data becomes available for transmission. The MAC-PDU including the at least one field related to the amount of data is transmitted to the node B. Grant information is received from the node B. The data is transmitted to the Node B based on the grant information. Each of the at least one field related to the amount of data corresponds to a respective identifier.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting an uplink scheduling request in a mobile communication system. Scheduling request transmission cycles are set according to priorities between a terminal and a radio resource controlling node. The terminal transmits the scheduling request to the radio resource controlling node according to a scheduling request transmission cycle corresponding to a highest priority among priorities corresponding to uplink data or uplink control signals, if the uplink data or the uplink control signals are generated from an upper layer. The terminal receives scheduling information from the radio resource controlling node, and determines whether resource allocation information is included in the scheduling information. The terminal cyclically transmits the scheduling request to the radio resource controlling node in the scheduling request transmission cycle, if the resource allocation information is not included in the scheduling information.
Abstract:
A chunk-based scheduling method and a chunk-based scheduling apparatus, capable of improving Quality of Service (QoS) upon the occurrence of congestion in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes requesting, by a terminal, from a base station for chunk-based scheduling which uses an available bit rate bearer so as to receive chunk that constitutes traffic, and receiving, from the base station, at least one chunk scheduled based on the time limit information of the chunk.
