Abstract
Methods and systems for controlling the transmission of data from a mobile device to a base station is provided. Data may be transmitted directly from the mobile device to the base station, or via a WLAN access point.
Claims17
A method for communication between a mobile device and a base station, wherein the mobile device is in wireless communication directly with the base station and in wireless communication with a WLAN access point, which access point is in communication with the base station, the method performed at the mobile device and comprising the steps of:
- configuring the mobile device according to pre-defined rules to transmit data from the mobile device to the base station directly to the base station and/or via the WLAN access point;
- and
- transmitting data from the mobile device to the base station according to the received rules, wherein the pre-defined rules are received by the mobile device from the base station.
A method for communication between a mobile device and a base station, wherein the mobile device is in wireless communication directly with the base station and in wireless communication with a WLAN access point, which access point is in communication with the base station, the method performed at the mobile device and comprising the steps of:
- configuring the mobile device such that part of data to be transmitted to the base station is transmitted directly to the base station and the other part of the data is transmitted to the base station via the WLAN access point;
- determining a difference between the transmission time for data transmitted directly to the base station and the transmission time for data transmitted to the base station via the WLAN access point;
- and
- delaying transmission of data transmitted directly to the base station by a time based on the difference.
