UPLINK SYNCHRONIZATION MANAGEMENT IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

In at least some embodiments, a wireless networking system is provided. The wireless networking system includes a base-station and a plurality of user devices in communication with the base-station. The base-station selectively assigns each user device to one of a first group and a second group. Also, the base-station selectively assigns each user device to an uplink synchronized state and an uplink non-synchronized state. The base-station allocates a unique reduced identifier to each user device in the uplink synchronized state, but does not allocate unique reduced identifiers to user devices in the non-synchronized state.

主权项

1. A user equipment (UE) apparatus comprising:
a receiver for receiving a unique identifier for identifying said UE as being in one of an uplink synchronized state and an uplink non-synchronized state; and wherein the UE receives a unique reduced identifier when in the uplink synchronized state, but does not receive unique reduced identifier when in the non-synchronized state.
