摘要:
A network node (600), a wireless device (602) and methods for controlling a radio communication using carrier aggregation. The wireless device (602) sends (6:1) UE capabilities to the network node (600), indicating a maximum capability limit per component carrier and a total maximum capability limit across all component carriers to be used in the radio communication. The network node (600) further selects (6:2) a number of component carriers to be used by the wireless device, and configures (6:3) radio features on the selected component carriers based on the received UE capabilities. The network node (600) then signals (6:4) the selected number of component carriers and the configured radio features to the wireless device (602) for use in the radio communication (6:5). Thereby, the network node (600) can utilize the full capabilities of the wireless device (602) when configuring the radio features while still respecting both the maximum capability limit per carrier and the total maximum capability limit.

摘要:
A method is disclosed for enabling device-to-device, D2D, communication when a communicating device is out of public land mobile network, PLMN, coverage for a first radio access technology, RAT. The method comprises scanning a carrier associated with a carrier predetermined for D2D communication for any signals, and if the scanning determines that D2D communication is present on the carrier, initiating out-of-coverage D2D communication, or if the scanning cannot determine that D2D communication is present on the carrier, determining a signal strength of other signals on the carrier and if the signal strength is below a threshold initiating out-of-coverage D2D communication. Alternatively, the method comprises scanning a carrier for at least a second RAT, and if a second RAT is detected, determining a PLMN of the detected RAT and accessing data on the determined PLMN about out-of-coverage D2D permissions, and if out-of-coverage D2D communication is permitted in the determined PLMN initiating out-of-coverage D2D communication. A communication device and computer program accordingly are also disclosed.
摘要:
The method and apparatus described herein enables a mobile station to subscribe to a larger number of multi-cast services than provided by a conventional wireless network. According to one embodiment, the network establishes a multi-cast communication session and allocates a NSAPI to the communication session during a data transfer phase. Subsequently, the network transmits the multi-cast data during the established communication session. According to another exemplary embodiment, the network includes two non-overlapping value spaces, where one of the value spaces is reserved for multi-cast NSAPIs. In this embodiment, the network receives a NSAPI selected by the mobile station during the joining phase from this value space. During the data transmission phase, the network establishes a multi-cast communication session based on the selected NSAPI, and transmits the corresponding multi-cast data during the communication session.
