摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a radio communications network which is configured to enable multipath communication. The method comprises providing an explicit indication that a path within a multipath connection is a backup path prior to establishment on or handover to a radio link of the backup path, transmission of the explicit indication to the base station, where it is interpreted. This allows an early indication that the path is a backup path and allows the base station to handle and prioritise use of radio network resources and/or connection characteristics for the radio link. The explicit indication may be in the radio level signalling or in handover signalling.
摘要:
A method of handling multipath connections in a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). The method comprising the steps of determining within the PLMN that a path, established across the PLMN, is a backup path of a multipath connection and providing an explicit indication to one or more nodes within the PLMN that the path is a backup path using a protocol layer that is otherwise unaware of the multipath connection. The method further comprises the step of, at the or each notified node, applying a handling to the path that is differentiated from the handling of non-backup paths.
摘要:
The embodiments herein relate to a method in an AAA server (103) for enabling authorization of a wireless device (101) to access a first network (100a) while simultaneously accessing a second network (100b). The AAA server (103) retrieves information identifying a current SGSN (108) currently serving the wireless device (101) in the second network (100b). When the AAA server (103) retrieves authorization information for the wireless device's (101) access to the first network (100a) from a HLR (105), the AAA server (103) indicates the current SGSN (108) as a new SGSN to the HLR (105). The indication is to be interpreted by the HLR (105) as an update of location information or a refresh procedure from the current SGSN (108).
摘要:
There is provided a method of operating a wireless communication device to facilitate selection among a set of two or more radio access networks, RANs, the wireless communication device being served by one of the RANs in the set, the method comprising receiving (1010) a network selection policy from a server; evaluating (1020) the network selection policy; and transmitting (1030) information indicating a result of the evaluation of the network selection policy to the RAN serving the wireless communication device.
