Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one example of the teachings herein, a network base station ( 16, 18 ) includes one or more communication interfaces configured to send messages to a wireless communication device, and one or more processing circuits ( 36 ) operatively associated with the communication interface(s). The processing circuits ( 36 ) are configured to send a reconfiguration message to the device using an existing downlink control channel configuration for the device, which message indicates a new downlink control channel configuration for the device, and, during a window of control channel configuration ambiguity that arises for the device as a consequence of sending the reconfiguration message, send a control message to the device using both the existing and the new downlink control channel configurations. Such a method of operation advantageously avoids the delays that arise if new downlink control signaling towards the device ( 20 ) is deferred until receiving confirmation that the device ( 20 ) received the reconfiguration message.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for sending control messages from one or more nodes in a wireless communication network to a wireless communication device comprising: sending a reconfiguration message to the device using an existing downlink control channel configuration for the device, said reconfiguration message indicating a new downlink control channel configuration for the device; and during a window of control channel configuration ambiguity that arises for the device as a…
