The invention is a system and method of controlling an access of a subscriber to a network. The method includes sending an identification of the subscriber and a level of access to be provided to the subscriber from a visited network of a plurality of networks (12, 14, 16) connected to a home network (10); in response to the identification of the subscriber and a level of access to be provided to the subscriber, storing a subscriber profile of the authorized of access to be provided to the subscriber; and controlling access of the subscriber to any network dependent upon a comparison of access to be provided to the subscriber and the stored subscriber profile.

The invention proposes a method for controlling a connection between a first network node and a second network node, wherein the connection is controlled by a packet filtering function filtering packets such that a packet is discarded in case a source address and/or a destination address do not comply with a filtering rule, wherein the packet filtering function is configured at a connection set up, and at least one of the first or second network node is adapted to change its address, the method comprising the steps of informing, the packet filtering function about the new address of the network node having changed its address, and updating the packet filter of the packet filtering function by using the new address of the network node having changed its address. The invention also proposes a corresponding network system comprising at least a network node and a packet filtering network element. Furthermore, the invention proposes a corresponding packet filtering network device.

Apparatus, and an associated method, for a mobile communication system in which handovers of communications are effectuated between access points of the communication system as a mobile node travels there through. A manner is provided by which to perform handover evaluation functions more efficiently by performing at least some of the handover evaluations at the access point to which a mobile node is attached. And, a manner is provided by which to provide care-of-addresses formed of temporary identifiers to temporarily identify a mobile node to permit the routing of packet data thereto during a communication session.

The invention is a system and method of controlling an application level of access of a subscriber to a network. The method includes sending an identification of the subscriber and an application level of access to be provided to the subscriber from a visited network of a plurality of networks (12, 14, 16) connected to a home network (10); in response to the identification of the subscriber and an application level of access to be provided to the subscriber, storing a subscriber profile of the authorized application level of access to be provided to the subscriber; and controlling access of the subscriber to any network dependent upon a comparison of the application level of service to be provided to the subscriber and the stored subscriber profile.

Systems, apparatuses, and computer implemented methods may be directed to identifying that a UE is near a cell edge of the source base station, the UE receiving or requesting a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS). A target base station can be identified based, at least in part, on the MBMS received at or requested by the UE. The target base station can be provided to the UE, for example, by providing an indication to the UE of a target base station from which to receive services. The target base station may be acquired through a handover procedure (RRC connected), or through a cell selection procedure (RRC idle). The target base station can be identified based on a multimedia broadcast single frequency network area identifier (MBSFN AreaID) for a synchronized MBMS continuity across network cells or by a temporary multicast group identity (TMGI) for asynchronous MBMS continuity across network cells.

Methods and systems for managing Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) service continuity include, with a source node in a communication system, providing an MBMS, processing an event that indicates that a User Equipment (UE) being serviced by the source node is to be transferred to one of a number of candidate nodes, receiving a congestion bit from each of the candidate nodes, and providing data to the UE that causes the UE to be serviced by a target node selected from the candidate nodes based at least in part on values of the congestion bits from each of the candidate nodes.

A controller for a communications system comprises an input and an output for communicating with nodes connected to the communications system. The controller is provided with a processor for determining presence of an address translator entity between a first node and a second node. The controller is further configured for generating an indication of the presence of the translator entity for sending to another node.

Provided are systems and methods for generating a blacklist for femtocells. According to an embodiment of the application, a mobile device generates and maintains a femtocell blacklist including an identification of at least one femtocell to be avoided by the mobile device. Upon detecting a femtocell, the mobile device determines whether the femtocell is identified in the femtocell blacklist. If the femtocell is identified in the femtocell blacklist, then the mobile device avoids any attempt to use the femtocell. This might allow the mobile device to conserve battery power and reduce wireless communication resources. Since the femtocell blacklist is generated and maintained by the mobile device, the network infrastructure does not need to generate and manage the femtocell blacklist. Also, there is no need for the mobile device to download a femtocell blacklist or updates thereof from the network infrastructure.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for controlling a packet data flow in a radio communication system, such as a third-generation, cellular communication system. Indicia of communications of the packet data flow upon an air link extending to a mobile station are provided to a selector. The selector selects, responsive to values of the communication indicia, whether to alter, such as by reducing or terminating, the packet data flow upon the air link. Selection is made by the selector and indications of the selection are provided to an allocator. The allocator allocates communication capacity in the radio access network of the communication system to the packet data flow as well as other ongoing packet data flows in the radio access network.

Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communication of a data block to a mobile station when a handover of communications is effectuated. A segmentation and distribution unit is positioned at a base station gateway, and the base station gateway is coupled to both a first target entity and a second target entity. Portions of the data block are provided to the first target entity to be communicated to the mobile station. When a handover of communications is effectuated, the buffered portion of the data which has not yet been successfully delivered to the mobile station is forwarded to the second target entity. And, other portions of the data block, not yet delivered to the first target gateway are, thereafter, provided directly to the second target entity.
