METHOD AND DEVICE TO WORK WITH MOBILE NODES IN MULTIPLE STATES Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC H04Q7/20 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: multiple operation states of mobile communication device are used, which enable one base station to support relatively large number of mobile nodes. Different states require different portions of communication resources, for instance, bandwidth. The four supported operation states are: switched on, on hold state, standby state and access state. Each mobile node, which is switched on, is assigned a certain share of communication resources to perform transmission power control signalling, transmission timing control signalling and data transmission as parts of communication operation along the upstream data line. Each mobile node in on hold state is assigned a certain share of communication resources to perform transmission timing control signalling. It is also assigned a dedicated upstream line to request the state change, as well as common resource to transmit acknoledgements. When in standby state, a mobile node is assigned minimal resource share. The node does not perform power control signalling and timing control signalling.

EFFECT: consideration of timing control signalling requirements and desirability of power control signalling in mobile communication system.
