Abstract:
A method includes: communicating, on a wireless link (111) between a network node (101) and a communication device (102), first data (2001) at a first data rate (210, 210-1, 210-2); and communicating, on the wireless link (111), at least one uplink control signal (2002) associated with an overheating event (221) at the communication device (102); and in response to said communicating of the at least one uplink control signal (2002): communicating, on the wireless link (111), second data (2001) at a second data rate (210, 210-1, 210-2), wherein the second data rate (210, 210-1, 210-2) is different from the first data rate (210, 210-1, 210-2).
Abstract:
An infrastructure equipment that transmits a radio network identifier to a communications device for identifying the communications device when allocating communications resources of the wireless access interface for transmitting downlink data to the communications device. After the communications device has entered an inactive connected state, the infrastructure equipment transmits control signals including the radio network identifier for allocating communications resources of the wireless access interface for the communications device to receive downlink data, determine whether the communications device is still within a radio coverage area of the infrastructure equipment, and if the communications device has left the coverage area, transmit an indication to the one or more other infrastructure equipment via the inter-connecting interface to trigger a process for transmitting downlink data to the communications device from the one or more other infrastructure equipment.
Abstract:
In a cellular network based on a cellular radio technology, a communication device sends a request for D2D communication to the cellular network. Further, the communication device receives a response to the request. The response indicates that an alternative radio technology is to be utilized for the D2D communication. The communication device then establishes the D2D communication on the basis of the alternative radio technology.
Abstract:
A wireless communication network (102) includes a core network (104) and an access network (106), the core network including a first management function (112) associated to a network slice instance (132) of the wireless communication network, and the access network including a plurality of access network nodes (130). The first management function of the core network detects that the network slice instance is overloaded. The core network transmits, to at least one of the access network nodes that is in a service area associated to the network slice instance, a message indicating overload of the network slice instance in the service area.
Abstract:
A method of operating a terminal device and a base station in a wireless telecommunications system to communicate with one another using a primary component carrier operating on radio resources within a first frequency band and a secondary component carrier operating on radio resources within a second frequency band. The terminal device makes measurements of radio usage in the second frequency band, and transmits an indication of the measurements to the base station. The base station then establishes a configuration setting for the secondary component carrier. The configuration setting is associated with a validity period during which the base station communicates data to the terminal device using the primary component carrier and the secondary component carrier operating in accordance with its configuration setting.
Abstract:
An electronic equipment comprises a sensor circuit operative to measure at least one electrical property of a user at a plurality of frequencies to thereby capture frequency-resolved electrical characteristics of the user. The electronic equipment comprises a processing circuit operative to perform a comparison between the frequency-resolved electrical characteristics of the user and reference characteristics to authenticate the user. The processing circuit is operative to perform an unlocking operation based on a result of the comparison.
Abstract:
A method of operating an access node of a radio access network of a cellular network includes participating in an early-data-transmission of a random access procedure of a UE. The method further includes, in response to said participating in the early-data-transmission: determining whether or not the UE requires an update information element of a notification area of the radio access network. The method further includes selectively transmitting the update information element if the UE requires the update information element.
Abstract:
A method of managing a paging message for a user Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network includes transmitting the paging message to the UE in the wireless communication network, receiving a wait indication from the UE, and delaying a retransmission of the paging message to the UE responsive to receiving a wait indication from the UE. A method of operating a UE in a wireless communication network includes receiving a paging message from a network node, and, responsive to receiving the paging message, transmitting a wait indication to the network node indicating a delay in transmission of a response to the paging message.
Abstract:
The media production element (12) combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element (12) can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device (42) can determine event-coordinated uplink network assistance data with the goal of prioritizing resource allocation to clients/electronic devices that currently are used for the combined media production, and assign less resources to those that are not currently used. Rather than optimizing individual links, the event-coordinated uplink network assistance data is determined by taking the aggregated capacity and the production needs of the media production element (12) into account.
Abstract:
A wireless telecommunications system including a terminal device; first infrastructure equipment operable to communicate with the terminal device using a first radio access technology (RAT) and second infrastructure equipment operable to communicate with the terminal device using a second RAT. During a handover procedure for handover from the first infrastructure equipment as a source master infrastructure equipment to a third infrastructure equipment as a target master infrastructure equipment, the second infrastructure equipment is operable to communicate with the third infrastructure equipment using an interface associated with the second RAT so as to allow information necessary for completing the handover to be exchanged between the first infrastructure equipment and the third infrastructure equipment via the second infrastructure equipment.
