Abstract:
A base station in a cellular radio network and user equipment assigned to a cell are linked by an air interface for communication on a respective communication channel in a communication band. The same communication band is common to at least one of the cells and to the user equipment on the respective communication channel of a cell. A jamming transmitter is detected by decoding a cell, by way of successful reading of control information of the cell, detecting a wideband power parameter representative of the communication band, and detecting a channel power parameter representative for a part of the communication band that is a communication channel. A narrowband jamming transmitter is indicated in the case that decoding of the cell failed, the wideband power parameter is not above a first threshold, and the channel power parameter is above a second threshold.

Abstract:
An application device exchanges application data via a cellular radio communication network with an application server. The application device has a memory providing write access for a control entity associated with the network. The application device receives an information element from a network management node operated by the control entity. The information element is indicative of regulation information that defines at least one time span or point in time that can be used for transmission of application exchange data between the application device and the application server. The application device receives an instruction from the network management node to store the regulation information in the device memory, and stores the regulation information. The application device subsequently initiates transmission of the application exchange data between the application device and the application server only at an allowed time that is in accordance with the stored regulation information.
Abstract:
User equipment communicates by means of a primary base node and at least one secondary base node of a cellular network that are respectively assigned to different radio access networks. The user equipment sends a first message comprising its available capabilities to the primary base node, and receives a first indication from the primary base node relating to the capabilities being used by the primary base node. It sends a second message to the secondary base node, comprising those capabilities not being used by the primary base node. and receives a second indication from the secondary base node relating to the capabilities being used by the secondary base node. It sends a third message with still unused capabilities to the primary base node. and initiates a communication link with a remote terminal by means of the primary and the secondary base nodes using the configured capabilities.
