Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004047460A2] A mobile communication device, and a method of operating a mobile communication device, includes storing at least one frame of a communication signal received from a network, and applying flow control to the lower layers to support network reselection. According to one aspect of the invention, a message is transmitted indicating that a virtual bearer mode of operation is supported by the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device selectively operates in the virtual bearer mode depending upon the response received following such transmission. Additionally, flow control may advantageously be dependent upon detecting that a cell change is imminent.
