摘要:
There are provided measures for enabling/realizing an inactive communication mode, namely an inactive mode for the operation of terminal equipment and network equipment in a communication system. Such measures exemplarily comprise operation in a connected mode, in which a data plane connection and a control plane connection are established between a terminal equipment and a network equipment, transition from the connected mode to an inactive mode upon data plane inactivity, and operation in the inactive mode, in which the data plane connection is released and the control plane connection is maintained between the terminal equipment and the network equipment.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products that provide flexible support for services are provided. One method includes receiving, by a network node, a request type from a user equipment, where the request type indicates types of services required by the user equipment from the network. The method may also include using the received request type to make determinations regarding a provision of services to the user equipment.

The interaction between group paging and service requests can be enhanced through the appropriate use of a shared identifier and user equipment strategies for reacting when paged. These enhancements may be broadly applicable to many communication systems, such as evolved packet system (EPS) as well as general packet radio service (GPRS)/universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) networks. For example, a method according to certain embodiments can include preparing a response including a group shared unique identifier upon receiving an attach request or a tracking area update request. The method can also include sending the response to a user equipment in an attach accept or tracking area update accept message.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for interworking between bearer-less networks and bearer-based networks are provided. One method includes receiving, by a network entity in a bearer-less network, a context request to obtain user equipment context information for a user equipment moving from the bearer-less network to a bearer-based network. The method may further include providing a context response comprising the context information to a network entity in the bearer-based network, the context information used to establish bearers for the user equipment to obtain internet protocol (IP) based services.

Communication systems, such as an evolved packet system, may benefit from optimizations for frequent small data transmissions. In particular, certain communication systems in which mobile applications require numerous keep-alive messages or presence information may benefit from optimizations to state transitions between active and idle states. A method may include detesting a plurality of small packets that are mobile terminated. The method may also include indicating an inactivity time based on the detecting of the small packets and providing this indication in user plane packets or control signaling to the radio access network.

One embodiment includes a method and apparatus for routing messages in a machine-type communication (MTC) architecture. The method includes receiving a request at a MTC-proxy residing at an egress of a network. The request includes an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) for which a destination is outside the network. The method further includes replacing, by the MTC-proxy, the IMSI in the request with an external identifier.

There are provided measures for improvements in small cell mobility with dual/multi connectivity. Such measures exemplarily comprise terminating at least one control plane signaling connection from said terminal for said at least first network access entity and second network access entity, maintaining a terminal related access stratum context commonly for radio accesses of said terminal to said at least first network access entity and second network access entity, and initiating switching of said radio access of said terminal from said first network access entity to said second network access entity for user plane data transfer with said control plane signaling connection for said second network access entity being applied unchanged, thereby providing, in a control plane for a terminal, connection management for at least a first network access entity and a second network access entity, wherein said at least first network access entity and second network access entity providing radio access for user plane data transfer for said terminal, wherein said terminal being capable of having radio access to said at least first network access entity and second network access entity for user plane data transfer.
摘要:
Communication systems, such as an evolved packet system, may benefit from methods for providing dynamic group provisioning. In particular, certain communication systems in which machine type communication devices or devices used for public safety communication are deployed may benefit from a feature for providing dynamic group provisioning. A method may include, for example, triggering dynamic grouping of a user equipment to a group by the user equipment or by a services capability server. The triggering can be configured to trigger a network element to perform the dynamic grouping of the user equipment.

Systems and techniques for detecting movement of machine type communication devices. An allowed location area is configured for one or more machine type communication devices, and a machine type communication device, upon detecting movement between an area outside its allowed location area and an area inside its allowed location area, notifies a network of the movement.
