Abstract:
Disclosed is a method to operate a wireless device, comprising a communication unit, in a wireless cellular network comprising at least two radio access networks, the communication unit being configured to communicate to a network node of the wireless cellular network, the network node being associated to a first radio access network. The method comprises the steps for the communication unit of: detecting if a second radio access network of said wireless cellular network fulfills a predefined set of access parameters, wherein the second radio access network supports a different access technology than the first radio access network. If the second radio access network fulfills said set of access parameters: sending a connection release indication to the network node, receiving from the network node a connection release confirmation message, sending a connection request message to the wireless cellular network with selection of said second radio access network.
Abstract:
In an operating method of a user equipment that exchanges signals with network nodes of a cellular radio access network, a quantity that is indicative of a current operating temperature of the user equipment is measured; the user equipment determines whether a threshold value relating to the operating temperature has been exceeded; if the threshold value is exceeded, temperature information is transmitted to a network node of the cellular radio access network, to indicate that the threshold value has been exceeded; in response, the user equipment receives an instruction to use a second set of operating parameters requiring a smaller average power input for the connection to the cellular radio access network in comparison with the first set of operating parameters; and the user equipment, in response to receiving the instruction, reconfigures its connection to the cellular radio access network so as to use the second set of operating parameters.
