Abstract:
A method of providing a multicast and/or broadcast service in a mobile telecommunications network, wherein transmission times for the services are scheduled and scheduling information is transmitted from a network node to a mobile terminal, and wherein the scheduling information is provided according to a predefined schedule.
Abstract:
An efficient uplink timing synchronization procedure performed with a target cell upon handover of a User Equipment (UE) in active mode in a mobile communication system is provided, in which a cell transmitter signals to the UE that the uplink timing synchronization procedure is not required in the target cell, and the UE carries out uplink transmission to the target cell at an uplink timing used in a source cell without the uplink timing synchronization procedure.
Abstract:
A method of providing a point-to-point multicast service for transmitting data from a network element to a plurality of terminals in a communication system. The method includes transmitting a first message including service available information from the network element to the plurality of terminals, and transmitting a second message including radio bearer information from the network element to the plurality of terminals. The first message includes a pointer to the radio bearer information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for configuring a TFCS in a mobile communication system are provided. TrCH configuration information and TFCS configuration information are received in a TrCH establishment message from an RNC. A CTFC set including all possible combinations of TFs of different transport channels is calculated according to the TrCH configuration information. A determination is made as to whether the TFCS configuration information includes a TFC-CTFC auto mapping indicator. If the TFCS configuration information includes the TFC-CTFC auto mapping indicator, CTFCs included in the CTFC set are mapped to TFCs in a one-to-one correspondence.

Abstract:
A method of transmitting information related to a multicast service in a Mobile Telecommunications network is provided. In one embodiment, the information related to the presence of cells in a registration area which are part of a multicast service area for the multicast service is transmitted between radio network controllers. In another embodiment, the information related to the multicast service one or more user terminals have joined is stored in a radio network controller while the user terminal has joined said one or more multicast services.
Abstract:
A method of providing a point-to-multipoint multicast service in a communications system, wherein the multicast service provides for the transmission of data from a network element to a plurality of mobile terminals, the method comprising the steps of: transmitting a first and a second message from a network element to the plurality of terminals, wherein the first message includes a plurality of configurations for transmitting the data to the plurality of terminals, and wherein the second message includes a pointer to one of the configurations to be used for a particular multicast service, transmitting data for the particular multicast service using the one configuration.
