A Radio Base Station, RBS, and a method performed therein for transmitting time alignment configuration to a UE are provided. The method comprises receiving (220), from a neighbouring RBS, a timing related parameter relevant for the UE as estimated by the neighbouring RBS, and determining (230) a time alignment configuration based on the received timing related parameters. The method further comprises transmitting (240), to the UE, the determined time alignment configuration.

Disclosed are methods as well radio network nodes and user equipments (UE) that are suitable for overload control in a communication network. A radio network node may, upon receiving a random access preamble from a UE, determine whether there exists a condition indicative of the radio network node having insufficient resources to respond properly to all random access preambles received by the radio network node. Also, in response to a determination that such condition exists, the radio network node may include in a MAC PDU, a request to extend the time period during which the UE waits for reception of a MAC RAR response. The radio network node may also transmit this MAC PDU including this request to the UE.

Methods of operating nodes in a mobile communication network and nodes configured to implement the same There is provided a method of operating a node in a radio access network, the method comprising obtaining (101) an indication of the service quality desired for a traffic flow between a mobile communication device and a core network; determining (103) whether an additional bearer is required between the mobile communication device and the core network based on the obtained indication; and sending (105) a message to a node in the core network to initiate a procedure to establish an additional bearer between the mobile communication device and the core network if it is determined that an additional bearer is required. A corresponding method of operating a node in a core network is also provided, along with nodes configured to implement the methods.

A method in a first network node (215) for handling transport network data traffic in a first base station (201) is provided. The first base station (201) comprises a transport network transmission equipment (205) and the transport network transmission equipment (205) is a part of a transport network. When the first base station (201) is in a sleep mode, the first network node (215) determines (306, 801) that the transport network transmission equipment (205) should be bypassed by activating a relay (209) comprised in the first base station (201) such that data traffic from a second network node (217) is transmitted via the relay (209) to a third network node (220).

A method of determining a transition of a terminal (110) between its idle state and its connected state is described. The connected state of the terminal (110) is associated with the terminal (110) being connected to a node (108) of a radio access network (104) of a communication network (100). The method comprises at least one of at least partly setting up, prior to a connection setup procedure for setting up a connection between the terminal (110) and the node (108) of the radio access network (104), a security configuration to be used between the terminal (110) and the node (108) of the radio access network (104) for communication, and at least partly setting up, prior to the connection setup procedure, a bearer configuration to be used between the terminal (110) and the node (108) of the radio access network (104) for communication. Thus, an efficient usage of network resources and/or energy resources of a terminal in association with a transition of a terminal between its idle state and its connected state may be enabled.

Methods in a radio network node (110) and a user equipment (120) as well as a radio network node (110) and a user equipment (120) for providing access restriction information about restricting access to a cell (C1), managed by the radio network node (110), for at least the user equipment (120) are provided. The radio network node (110) encodes a downlink control information message by using a user equipment identifier associated with the access restriction information. Next, the radio network node (110) sends the downlink control information message to the user equipment (120). Next, the user equipment (120) decodes the downlink control information message to obtain the user equipment identifier associated with the access restriction information.
摘要:
A method in a communication device (120) for reducing power consumption in the communication device (120) is provided. The communication device (120) and a base station (110) are comprised in a cellular communications network (100). The communication device obtains information about an antenna beam (117) of the base station (110). The antenna beam (117) will be perceived by the communication device (120) in time periods. The information relates to when in time a time period starts and the duration of the time period. When being out of the time period, the communication device refrains from attempting to receive or transmit data using the antenna beam (117). During the refraining no power is consumed for attempting to receive or transmit data using the antenna beam (117).

A method for use in a core network node, such as a mobility management entity, is described for associating a tracking area list comprising at least one tracking area identity (TAIs) with a user equipment. A wireless communication network, such as an EPS network, comprises the core network node. The method comprises the steps of: registering at least one tracking area identity sequence of tracking areas repetitively used by a plurality of user equipments; and compiling at least one tracking area list using the at least one registered tracking area identity sequence. The disclosure also relates to a core network node and a computer program product.

A method and arrangement in a data collection network node (130, 140) for gathering information to be used for identification of at least one primary tracking area associated with a user equipment and a method and arrangement in a core network node (101) for selecting at least one tracking area identity identifying at least one tracking area to be used as at least one primary tracking area for a UE are provided. A tracking area identity is retrieved. Information about usage of a tracking area identified by the retrieved tracking area identity is registered. A measure for the user equipment being located in the tracking area is determined. Said at least one tracking area identity identifying at least one tracking area to be used as a primary tracking area is determined, if the measure exceeds a threshold. A method and an arrangement in a second network node (130) for paging a user equipment are provided. When paging the user equipment (140), the second network node first pages the user equipment (140) in the primary tracking area and, if the first page fails, then pages the user equipment (140) in other tracking areas.
