20140314045 | RADIO COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - A scheduling process handles a plurality of communication services in a collective manner, thus making a radio communications system more operable. A pilot signal sender sends pilot signals with carrier frequencies each corresponding to an N (N≧1) different communication services. A scheduler collects N×n instances of propagation environment data from n (n≧1) terminal devices and selects terminal devices and communication services therefor by assigning terminal devices having a better propagation environment to the plurality of different communication services in a collective manner. The pilot signals are used by a propagation environment data sender to measure and report a propagation environment of each carrier frequency. A communication function configurer automatically sets up a communication function to adapt to the communication service that the base station has assigned. | 2014-10-23 |
20140314046 | METHOD OF COMMUNICATION FOR CIRCUIT SWITCHED SERVICE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR THE SAME - In an aspect, a method of communication performed by a user equipment (UE) camping on a long term evolution (LTE) cell in a wireless communication system is provided. The method include: receiving a Circuit Switched fallback (CSFB) control message from a network, the CSFB control message comprising prioritization information for CS service; determining whether the CS service is triggered; if it is determined that the CS service is triggered, applying a priority to frequencies of at least one cell in accordance with the priority information; performing a mobility procedure based on the applied priority; performing a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection establishment procedure with a selected inter-RAT cell; and initiating the CS service. | 2014-10-23 |
