Abstract:
A method and apparatus for facilitating WLAN access, both trusted and un-trusted, to a mobile core network. A device identity attribute is created and incorporated into the authentication and response messaging to enable the device identity to be promulgated in the communication network.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a radio network controller (BSCI), for a radio access communication network, comprising processing means (MT), upon receiving from an alarm center (CA) a message of a first SMS-CB type associated with a selected class of alarm of a selected level, containing an alarm text message addressed to mobile terminals (T) located in at least one selected cell controlled thereby, for interrupting transmission to the mobile terminals, located in each selected cell, of any message of SMS-CB type associated with a class of level lower than that of the selected alarm class, and optionally all other communication of said terminals (for example, telephone calls thereof), so that the first message may be broadcast to the mobile terminals which are located in each selected cell controlled thereby and so that some at least of said mobile terminals should transmit an alarm signal (for example radio) and display the alarm text message contained in the first message.
Abstract:
A method of managing a token in a telecommunications network to allocate an exclusive right to one user out of a group of users who can request simultaneously to benefit from the same service; the method consisting in: a requesting user (EUA) sending (1) a token request to an application server (AS); the application server (AS) then allocating (2) a single token to a requesting user; the requesting user who has received the token then sending (3) data to a media server (MS) suitable for transporting the data; said user (EUA) sending (4) a token-release request to the application server (AS); and finally said application server (AS) broadcasting (5) a message to all of the users (EUA, . . . , EUD) indicating that the token is available.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include a method for support of mobile-terminated service delivery over a multi-Radio Access Technology RAT and/or multi-domain mobile network wherein an User Equipment UE can be registered with multiple serving Core Network CN nodes, said method using information, referred to as termination selection information, including indication of a preferred serving CN node and/or preferred domain for mobile-terminated service delivery attempt towards said UE, said preferred serving CN node and/or said preferred domain determined as the serving CN node and/or domain most probably currently able to reach the UE, based on information referred to as termination selection support information retrieved from said multiple serving CN nodes, said method using, for said determination of the serving CN node and/or domain most probably currently able to reach the UE, termination selection support information including information on UE probability of camping per RAT.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, there is provided a method for the support of IP connections for a User Equipment UE having access to a 3GPP Core Network CN via at least a trusted non-3GPP Access Network AN that does not support Layer 2 signalling and bearer per IP connection, said method comprising: —providing that traffic carried by an IP connection is tunnelled over said AN, through a Layer-2 tunnel associated with said IP connection.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method for the control of access network/access technology selection for the routing of IP traffic by a User Equipment UE in a multi-access communication system, based on operator's policies, is provided, wherein: -said operator's policies include Quality of Service QoS-based policies, based on IP traffic matching specific QoS filters.
Abstract:
One object of the invention is a method for connection re-establishment in a mobile communication system, comprising: a step wherein a network entity in charge of initiating a paging procedure for a mobile station in idle mode sends a paging request carrying mobility management context information and/or service management context information related to said mobile station, a step wherein, upon the reception of said paging request, network entities in charge of communication over the radio interface in the paging area, store said mobility management context information and/or service management context information and send a paging message over said radio interface, a step wherein a network entity receiving a response to said paging message from said mobile station over said radio interface uses said stored mobility management context information and/or service management context information, for said connection re-establishment over said radio interface for said mobile station.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of operating a paging controller in a wireless communication system including a first network that operates according to a first radio access technology and a second network that operates according to a second radio access technology. The first network includes a first control plane entity and the second network includes a second control plane entity. The method includes providing, to at least one first base station in the first network, a request to transmit a page to a first tracking area associated with the mobile unit. The first tracking area is defined in the first network. The method also includes providing, via an interface between the first control plane entity and the second control plane entity, a request to transmit the page to a second tracking area associated with the mobile unit. The second tracking area is defined in the second network.
Abstract:
A method, user equipment and a network entity are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: determining which of a plurality of packet bearers carry voice media components for handover between a packet-switched network and a circuit-switched network to ensure voice call continuity; and notifying an entity that will said enforce voice call continuity for which of said plurality of packet bearers carry said voice media components.
