    Abstract: A communication system comprises a plurality of cells, each cell being associated with a respective serving area of TUPF. A base station controls a communication session of a communication device via the base station and a TUPF. Mobility of the communication device between a source cell and a target cell is performed as follows: when the communication session uses a nomadic IP address and the target cell is associated with the same TUPF serving area as the source cell but the base station is unable to determine the TUPF serving area of the target cell, the base station initiates a redirection procedure rather than a handover procedure. When performing the redirection procedure, the communication connection for the communication session via the source cell is broken before the target cell has been prepared to receive communication for the communication session of the communication device.

    Abstract: A communication system is disclosed in which a base station serves a communication area, wherein the communication area is formed by a plurality of directional beams each covering a respective portion of the communication area and each having a different respective beam identifier. The base station communicates control information, for a communication device (UE), using at least one directional beam associated with that communication device (e.g. a UE-specific operational beam set).

    Abstract: A communication system is described in which mobile telephones are able to roam between neighbouring home node base stations. Techniques are described for allocating U-RNTIs to mobile telephones by the home base stations or the home base station gateway. Techniques are also disclosed for target home base stations to be able to retrieve information needed to respond to a Cell Update request received from a mobile telephone.

    Abstract: A communication system is disclosed which includes a distributed base station apparatus comprising a control plane unit, a user plane unit, and a distributed unit. Respective interfaces are set up between the control plane unit and the user plane unit, between the control plane unit and the distributed unit, and between the control plane unit and a core network node. The control plane unit acts as a master control plane unit. The user plane unit or the distributed unit obtains information identifying a further control plane unit to act as a redundant unit in case of a failure the master control plane unit. Corresponding interfaces are set up between the further control plane unit and the user plane unit, between the further control plane unit and the distributed unit, and between the further control plane unit and a core network node for resiliency.

    Abstract: A communication system comprising a non-terrestrial network part is disclosed in which a user equipment (UE) is served by one of the cells of the non-terrestrial network part. The UE determines whether to delay/suspend a small data transmission, based one or more associated parameters, so as to avoid a radio link failure or a handover. When the transmission is delayed/suspended, the UE initiates/resumes the data transmission in a new serving cell (e.g. after cell reselection or RRC establishment in the new cell), or via a relay (e.g. a device-to-device relay).
