    Abstract: A method of WLAN mobility set construction for mitigating the loss of data when a user equipment leaves a WLAN. A base station determines a location of and/or a mobility set for a user equipment in LTE-WLAN aggregation mode capable of communicating with an LTE cellular network and a wireless local area network. The wireless local area network has a plurality of access points for communicating with the user equipment. Each access point belongs to one of a plurality of mobility sets. The base station determines an access point for communicating with the user equipment and adjusts data flow decisions and/or mobility parameters for communication with the user equipment dependent on the determined location of and/or the mobility set for the user equipment.

    Abstract: A method of avoiding mass offloading of user devices, UE's (14), connected to a cellular network (15, 16) such as 3GPP LTE to a second wireless network such as a WLAN (6,8), the method comprising: an ANDSF server (12) broadcasting (in a SIB message, for example) a set of parameters representing offload thresholds to be applied by UE's in idle mode, and also additional information such as a bitmap indicating which of those parameters are also applicable to UE's in connected mode; and a user device, UE (14), receiving the set of parameters and the additional information, and deciding whether to migrate or not to the second network in dependence of whether it is in idle or connected mode, of the parameters and of the additional information.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus may include configuring, by a network node, a user equipment to use an aggregation of radio technologies. At least one radio bearer is established between the user equipment and the network node and is routed over an access point of an alternate wireless network. The method may also include determining whether trustworthy security is provided by the access point of the alternate wireless network. The method may also include instructing the user equipment to turn off ciphering based on the determining, wherein the ciphering is turned off for the at least one radio bearer between the user equipment and the apparatus. The method may also be used for configuring specific ciphering on selective radio bearers.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for controlling communications devices. An access node can generate a message for at least one communication device for transmission at a resource determined at least partly on the basis of a first identifier value assigned to said at least one communication device. The generation comprises including in the message at least one other identifier value, wherein the other identifier values are assigned to communication devices for a purpose of addressing messages to communication devices. The at least one other identifier value is used exclusively for said at least one communication device at said resource and is recognisable to said at least one communication device as instruction to take one or more actions associated with the at least one other identifier value. A communication device can check for a message at the resource, the checking comprising checking in the message for the one or more other identifier values. In response to detecting one or more of said one or more other identifier values, said communication device can take one or more actions associated with said detected one or more of said one or more other identifier values.
