Abstract
The present invention concerns a method of transmitting over a radio access network to a base station, by a network entity, a radio resource control signalling indicating the capability of a user equipment to perform network coding, wherein the method comprises: detecting by the network entity of a trigger event for signalling to the base station, the network coding capabilities of the user equipment; generating by the network entity a radio resource control signalling message comprising the user equipment network coding capabilities; and transmitting by the network entity of the generated radio resource control signalling message to the base station.
Claims22
A method of transmitting over a radio access network to a base station, by a network entity, a radio resource control signalling indicating the capability of a user equipment to perform network coding, wherein the method comprises:
- detecting by the network entity of a trigger event for signalling to the base station, the network coding capabilities of the user equipment;
- generating by the network entity a radio resource control signalling message comprising the user equipment network coding capabilities;
- transmitting by the network entity of the generated radio resource control signalling message to the base station;
- and
- wherein the method further comprises:
- transmitting a status report for reporting a change in its internal parameters upon detection of the change, the status report being transmitted within a message different from the message comprising the network coding capabilities.
A network entity device for transmitting over a radio access network to a base station, a radio resource control signalling indicating the capability of a user equipment to perform network coding, wherein the network entity device comprises a processor configured for:
- detecting a trigger event for signalling to the base station, the network coding capabilities of the user equipment;
- generating a radio resource control signalling message comprising the user equipment network coding capabilities;
- and
- transmitting by the network entity of the generated radio resource control signalling message to the base station;
- and
- wherein the method further comprises:
- transmitting a status report for reporting a change in its internal parameters upon detection of the change, the status report being transmitted within a message different from the message comprising the network coding capabilities.
