GSM EVOLUTION PACKET DATA TRAFFIC CHANNEL RESOURCE TRANSMISSION MANAGEMENT - FIXED UPLINK ALLOCATION TECHNIQUE

摘要

A radio access network node (e.g., Base Station Subsystem), a wireless device (e.g., a mobile station), and various methods are described herein for improving the allocation of radio resources in wireless communications. In one embodiment, the radio access network node and wireless device implement a fixed uplink allocation technique. In another embodiment, the radio access network node and wireless device implement a flexible downlink allocation technique.

主权项

1. A radio access network node configured to interact with a core network (CN) node and a wireless device, the RAN node comprising:
a processor; and, a memory that stores processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor interfaces with the memory to execute the processor-executable instructions, whereby the RAN node is operable to:
receive, from the wireless device, one or more repetitions of an access request message, wherein the access request message comprises:
an indication of a number of data blocks the wireless device intends to transmit to the RAN node; andtransmit, to the wireless device, one or more repetitions of an uplink assignment message, wherein the uplink assignment message comprises:
an indication of a number of pre-allocated radio blocks on a packet data traffic channel;an indication (NTX, UL) of an Uplink (UL) coverage class; andan indication of a starting point of the pre-allocated radio blocks that the wireless device is to use to transmit a first data block from the data blocks that the wireless device intends to transmit to the RAN node.
