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 invention concerns a device (D) dedicated to controlling access of a terminal (UE), connected to a CS domain of a mobile network comprising a MSC center (VMSC) running CS communications, to a IMS network services of which its user is a subscriber. Said device (D) comprises: i) a GMSC module managing setup of communications to a terminal (UE) connected to the CS domain, ii) a MGCF module converting messages from the CS domain in accordance with a ISUP protocol into messages in accordance with a SIP protocol addressed to a S-CSCF module and inversely, iii) an I-CSCF initiating registration of terminals connected to the CS domain, with a S-CSCF module, and iv) a P-CSCF emulator (P1) and a user agent (UA1) responsible a) for co-operating together on behalf of the terminal (UE) to instruct an I-CSCF module to initiate the registration of a terminal with a S-CSCF module of the IMS network of which its user is a subscriber, b) when the user attempts via the terminal (UE) to set up a call, for sending said call, via the MGCF module, to the S-CSCF module with which it is registered, and c) upon reception of a request for setting up communication to the terminal, from the S-CSCF module of the TMS network of which its user is a subscriber, for instructing the GMSC module, via the MGCF module, to manage said setting up on the CS domain side.
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 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 disclosure relates generally to supporting bonded services at non-anchor nodes. A non-anchor gateway device is configured to support service bonding for a user device and communication with an anchor node of the user device. The non-anchor gateway device is configured to associated a set of user device data plane connections of the user device to form a bonded session for the user device where the set of user device data plane sessions includes a first user device data plane connection associated with a first access network and a second user device data plane connection associated with a second access network. The non-anchor gateway device is configured to map user device traffic of the user device between the user device data plane connections of the bonded session and a user device data plane session between the gateway device and the anchor node for the user device.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method for Quality of Service management in a mobile communication system is provided, comprising, in an embodiment: temporarily providing, to a Bearer that has just been established for Non Real Time services, a higher priority than requested at Bearer establishment.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is a method for the handling of user access-dependent information in a system comprising a core network subsystem accessed by an access network, said method comprising: a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem obtains user access-dependent information from said access network, a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem signals to another entity, in the context of a core network subsystem procedure relating to a user's terminal, user access-dependent information obtained from said access network, a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem uses user access-dependent information obtained from said access network, for control of service delivery to said user.
