Definitions

  • the present invention relates to informing a network about the amount of data to be transferred on an uplink layer 2 link used for transferring signalling data and user data, and more particularly to informing a network on the amount of data to be transferred on an uplink layer 2 link established for a user plane radio bearer, the layer 2 link being also used for sending data blocks of signalling radio bearers in a mobile communication system.
  • the mobile communication system generally refers to any telecommunication system, which enables wireless communication when a user is located within the service area of the system.
  • cellular mobile communication systems such as the GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), or corresponding systems, such as the PCS (Personal Communication System) or the DCS 1800 (Digital Cellular System for 1800 MHz), third-generation mobile systems, such as the UMTS (Universal Mobile Communication System) and systems based on the above-mentioned systems, such as GSM 2+ systems and the future 4 th generation systems.

  • GSM 2+ systems Global System for Mobile Communications
  • future 4 th generation systems such as GSM 2+ systems and the future 4 th generation systems.
  • PLMN public land mobile network
  • GSM 2+ systems While the standardization of the UMTS is maturing, the GSM 2+ systems are also evolving towards the UMTS. This means that features of the UMTS, which were not originally planned to be embedded in the GSM 2+, are added to GSM 2+ systems or services, such as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) or GERAN (GSM/EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) Radio Access Network).
  • GSM/EDGE Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution
  • One example of such an added feature is having several signalling radio bearers for one mobile station between the mobile station and the radio access network.
  • CCCH Common Control Channel
  • PCCCH Packet Common Control Channel
  • the data of the other four signalling radio bearers may be multiplexed into a layer 2 link established for a user data bearer.
  • the layer 2 link is called a Temporary Block Flow TBF in the GPRS and the GERAN.
  • the layer 2 link hereinafter called a TBF, is a carrier (i.e. allocated radio resource) that supports the unidirectional transfer of packet data units.
  • the TBF is temporary and it is maintained usually only for the duration of the data transfer.
  • the protocol architecture of the air interface of a GERAN lu comprises a physical layer L 1 and a network layer L 3 .
  • the lu means that mobile stations are connected to a radio access network GERAN with lu interfaces towards the core network providing the data transfer.
  • the data link layer L 2 of the GERAN lu comprises a radio link control RLC sublayer and a medium access control MAC sublayer, which are common for a user plane (i.e. for user data) and for a signalling plane (i.e. for signalling data).
  • the layers above the RLC are a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) for the user plane and an RRC (Radio Resource Control) for the signalling plane.
  • Each radio bearer has an RLC instance transmitting the radio bearer data for peer-to-peer information change.
  • the RLC instance transmits information by means of data blocks called packet data units over the air interface on the TBF using e.g. ARQ procedures. Each data block originates from a certain RLC instance.
  • the RLC instance forms RLC packet data units by segmenting the upper layer data into data blocks, to which layer 2 control information is added.
  • the RLC instance reassembles the RLC data blocks into upper layer data.
  • a countdown procedure In the GPRS, there is a procedure called a countdown procedure, with which the mobile station informs the network side about how many data blocks are to be sent on the TBF.
  • the mobile station sends a countdown value in each uplink data block to indicate the current number of remaining data blocks for the uplink TBF.
  • the network schedules resources for this TBF on the basis of the QoS (quality of service) parameters of the user data bearer and the amount of data to be sent on the user data bearer, for example.
  • the QoS parameters indicate the properties that the user data bearer needs, such as delay requirements.
  • One of the problems associated with the above arrangement is that when one or more radio bearer(s) (and hence RLC instances) can be stealing capacity from a user radio bearer A, i.e. are multiplexed to a TBF established for the user radio bearer A, there is no mechanism to take into account the amount of data of other bearers transmitting data blocks on the TBF of the user radio bearer A. Therefore the network does not know how much resources and how frequently it should allocate for the TBF.
  • An object of the present invention is thus to provide a method and an apparatus for implementing the method so as to overcome the above problem.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a method, a network node and a mobile station, which are characterized by what is stated in the independent claims.
  • the preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • the invention is based on realizing the problem and solving it by modifying the way to define a countdown value for a TBF such that all the data blocks multiplexed to the TBF are also taken into account.
  • one TBF will have as many countdown values as there are radio bearers (and hence RLC instances) using the TBF.
  • there are two countdown values i.e. one for the radio bearer the TBF was established for and the other for all other radio bearers using the TBF.
  • one countdown value is calculated from data blocks of all radio bearers using the TBF.
  • An advantage of the invention is that the network will be provided with enough information for resource allocation. Another advantage of the invention is that when there is still something waiting for to be sent on a TBF, the release of the TBF can be avoided.

  • the actual terminal of the invention can be any equipment capable of communicating in a mobile communication system and supporting multicarrier access.
  • the terminal can thus be a simple terminal intended only for speech, or it can be a terminal for various services, operating as a service platform and supporting the loading and carrying out of different service-related functions.
  • the terminal can also be a combination of various devices, for example a multimedia computer with a Nokia card phone connected to it to provide a mobile connection.
  • the system 1 comprises a core network CN and a radio access network GERAN.
  • the GERAN is formed of a group of radio network subsystems (not shown in FIG. 1 ), such as base station sub-systems of GSM, which are connected to the core network CN via a so-called lu-interface 2 .

  • the mobile station calculates the countdown value and adds it to the data block, as if the RLC instance the data block belongs to were the only one using the TBF. All the data blocks will have the same TBF identifier called TFI so that the network can recognize over which TBF the data block was sent.

In other words, if the data block belongs to a multiplexed (stealing) radio bearer, the second countdown value is added to it. If the data block to be sent belongs to the user radio bearer the TBF was established for, the mobile station calculates the URB_CV and adds it to the data block. In other words, the mobile station checks, before calculating the countdown value, to which radio bearer the data block belongs to, and on the basis of the radio bearer selects the used formula. All the data blocks will still have the same TBF identifier called TFI, so that the network can recognize over which TBF the data block was sent.
