Measurement report transmission in a telecommunications system
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for a radio communication network to obtain data messages from a mobile station operating therein during unidirectional downlink transfer, a first data message being indicative of downlink data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, and a second data message being indicative of measurement result conditions at the mobile station, the method comprising the steps of:
- the network providing in a header portion of the downlink transfer a first polling code representative of a first polling state for requesting the mobile station to transmit said first data message, and the method being characterised in that the network provides in a header portion of the downlink transfer a second polling code representative of a second polling state for requesting the mobile station to transmit said second data message, said second polling code being different from the first polling code such that the second polling state is different from the first polling state.

8. A radio communication system comprising a cellular network in downlink radio communication transfer with a mobile station operating therein, the system providing for the network to obtain first and second data messages from the mobile station, wherein the network provides in a header portion of the transfer a first polling code representative of a first polling state for requesting the mobile station to transmit a first data message indicative of downlink data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, the system being characterised in that the network provides in a header portion of the downlink transfer a second polling code representative of a second polling state for requesting the mobile station to transmit a second data message indicative of measurement result conditions at the mobile station, said second polling code being different from the first polling code such that the second polling state is different from the first polling state.

9. A control system for a radio communication network, the network being capable of downlink radio communication transfer with a mobile station, the control system comprising means for configuring a header portion of the downlink transfer, said means for configuring the header portion comprising:
means for generating a first polling code representative of a first polling state for requesting the mobile station to transmit a first data message indicative of downlink data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, the system being characterised in that said means for configuring the header portion comprises means for generating a second polling code representative of a second polling state for requesting the mobile station to transmit a second data message indicative of measurement result conditions at the mobile station, said second polling code being different from the first polling code such that the second polling state is different from the first polling state.

10. A radio communication system network element comprising a control system, the network element being capable of downlink radio communication transfer with a mobile station, the network element comprising means configuring a header portion of the downlink transfer, said means for configuring the header portion comprising:
means for generating a first polling code representative of a first polling state for requesting the mobile station to transmit a first data message indicative of downlink data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, the network element being characterised in that said means for configuring the header portion comprises means for generating a second polling code representative of second polling state for requesting the mobile station to transmit a second data message indicative of measurement result conditions at the mobile station, said second polling code being different from the first polling code such that the second polling state is different from the first polling state.

11. A mobile station for use in a radio communication system, the mobile station being capable of downlink radio communication transfer with the radio communication system, the mobile station having a controller and the controller being adapted to be responsive to a first polling code representative of a first polling state provided in a header portion of the downlink transfer so as to transmit a first data message indicative of downlink data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, characterised in that the controller is adapted to be responsive to a second polling coded representative of a second polling state provided in a header portion of the downlink transfer so as to transmit a second data message indicative of measurement result conditions at the mobile station, said second polling code being different from the first polling code such that the second polling state is different from the first polling state.
- 12. A method for a radio communication network to obtain data messages from a mobile station operating therein during unidirectional downlink transfer, a first data message being indicative of downlink data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, and a second data message being indicative of measurement result conditions at the mobile station at least including data indicative of measurement report, the method comprising the network providing in a header portion of the downlink transfer a first polling code for said data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement, and the method being characterised in that the network provides in a header portion of the downlink transfer a second polling code for requesting the mobile station to transmit said measurement report, said second polling code being different from, the first polling code, and wherein the first and second polling codes are transmitted in a header of a downlink RLC/MAC block.

15. A method for a radio communication network to obtain data messages from a mobile station operating therein during unidirectional downlink transfer, the method comprising:
-
the network providing in a header portion of the downlink transfer a first polling code for obtaining from the mobile station a data message indicative of downlink data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement; and
the network providing in a header portion of the downlink transfer a second polling code for obtaining from the mobile station a data message indicative of said downlink data acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement and indicative of one or more other conditions at the mobile station at least including data indicative of measurement report, said second polling code being different from the first polling code, and wherein the first and second polling codes are transmitted in a header of a downlink RLC/MAC block. - View Dependent Claims (16)
