Method to control configuration change times in a wireless device

摘要

A method to control configuration change times is performed at a mobile wireless communication device when the mobile wireless communication device is connected to a wireless network. The mobile wireless device is connected in a first configuration mode. The mobile wireless communication device receives a control message from a radio network subsystem in the wireless network at a local receive time. The received control message includes a time indication for when to start a configuration mode change of the mobile wireless communication device, which the device extracts from the control message. The mobile wireless communication device reconfigures to a second configuration mode, different from the first configuration mode, based on the extracted time indication and the local receive time.

主权项

1. Computer program product encoded in a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to reconfigure a mobile wireless communication device connected to a wireless network, the computer program product comprising:
computer program code configured to receive a control message at a local receive time from a radio network subsystem in the wireless network; computer program code configured to extract a time indication for starting a configuration mode change in a first configuration mode, where the time indication is extracted from the received control message; computer program code configured to determine a first local frame counter value for a first received frame in the received control message based on a local frame counter, where the local frame counter is configured to rollover at a predetermined number of frames; computer program code configured to determine a second local frame counter value for a last received frame in the received control message based on the local frame counter; and computer program code configured to reconfigure the mobile wireless communication device to a second configuration mode at a reconfiguration start time when a difference between the second local frame counter value and the first local frame counter value is greater than the predetermined number of frames.
