摘要:
According to an aspect, there is provided a method of operating a terminal device, the method comprising maintaining one or more indices and a mapping between the one or more indices and respective network identifiers, each network identifier identifying a network and/or a network node; and in communications between the terminal device and a first network in which a particular network and/or a particular network node is to be identified, using the index associated with the particular network and/or the particular network node to identify the particular network and/or the particular network node. Methods of operating network nodes in a network are also provided.

Techniques for providing WLAN identifier lists to terminal devices There is provided a method of operating a network node in a cellular communications network, the method comprising obtaining a list of wireless local area network, WLAN, identifiers that are to be considered by terminal devices in the cellular communications network when the terminal devices perform a access network selection and/or traffic steering or routing procedure with respect to the cellular communications network and one or more WLANs; and dividing the list into a plurality of segments that are to be separately broadcast to the terminal devices in a broadcast channel.

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to scheduling in a communication network. The base station may receive a first scheduling request for transmission of first information and a second scheduling request for transmission of second information, wherein the first scheduling request is associated with a first priority and the second scheduling request is associated with a second priority. The base station may prioritize scheduling of the transmission of the first information over scheduling of the transmission of the second information in response to the first priority being higher than the second priority. In this way, the scheduling by the base station may be more effective and efficient.
摘要:
A node of a radio access network (RAN) receives, from a WLAN Termination (WT), an Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) and/or a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) for one or more WLAN access points controlled by the WT. The node maintains a mapping between the ESSIDs and/or the BSSIDs and corresponding WLAN access points of the WT. Responsive to receiving a measurement report from a UE, the measurement report indicating an ESSID and/or a BSSID, the node associates the UE with a WLAN access point, based on said mapping. An interface may be established between the node and the WT.
摘要:
An aspect provides a method of operating a terminal device in a communication network, the method comprising, on rejection of a connection request to a network node, (i) using broadcast parameters that have been broadcast from the or another network node in an access network selection and/or traffic steering or routing procedure (607) and/or (ii) discarding dedicated parameters that have been received from a network node using dedicated signalling, the dedicated parameters being for use in the access network selection and/or traffic steering or routing procedure (617).
