Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a position of a terminal device (110) in a wireless communication system (100). According to the method, a first message (130-133) is broadcasted by the terminal device (110). The first message (130-133) comprises a positioning request and a terminal identifier identifying the terminal device (110). The first message (130-133) is received at a group of neighboring devices (120-123). Each neighboring device of the group of neighboring devices (120-123) is located within a wireless radio communication range of the terminal device (110). From one or more neighboring devices (120, 121) of the group of neighboring devices (120-123) a corresponding second message (140, 141) is transmitted to location server (103) of the wireless communication system (100). The second message (140, 141) comprises the terminal identifier and an indication that the terminal device (110) requested a positioning. For each neighboring device (120, 121) of the one or more neighboring devices a corresponding position information is determined. The position of the terminal device (110) is determined at the location server (103) based on the position of the one or more neighboring devices (120, 121).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for establishing or resuming a wireless communication connection in a wireless communication network. According to the method, a first message is transmitted from a first device to a second device. The first message includes a request for the second device to provide a data link layer communication forwarding between the first device and a base station. Furthermore, a connection between the first device and the base station is established or resumed via the data link layer communication forwarding of the second device.

Abstract: A signalling message including paging related information indicative of whether an user equipment (10, 19) is pageable or indicative of whether the UE (10, 19) will be paged is transmitted. The UE (10, 19) does not listen on a paging channel if the pageability information indicates that the UE (10, 19) is unpageable.

Abstract: A method of communicating data between a radio network infrastructure and a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications network. The method comprises establishing at a radio network infrastructure element there is data available for communication between the radio network infrastructure and the terminal device and transmitting a paging message for the terminal device from the radio network infrastructure element. The paging message comprises an indication of an identifier for the terminal device and an indication of a network allocated resource for use in subsequently communicating the data between the radio network infrastructure element and the terminal device. In response to receiving the paging message the terminal device transmits to the radio network infrastructure element a paging response indicating the terminal device received the paging message, after which the data is communicated between the radio network infrastructure element and the terminal device using the network allocated resource.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present technique can provide a mobile device and a method of establishing a connection via a core network by a mobile terminal. The method comprises receiving by the mobile terminal in a first cell an identifier assigned by a node in a first core network of a first type, the identifier comprising an identifier of the node or a group of nodes in the first core network, selecting a second cell in which service via a core network of a second type is available, and determining whether service via a core network of the first type is available from the second cell. The method further comprises establishing a connection via the second cell by transmitting a message including a first indication, the first indication based on at least a portion of the identifier, and when service via a core network of the first type is not available from the second cell, transmitting in the message a second indication, the second indication indicating that the identifier was received from a core network different from the second type, without identifying the first type of core network.
