    摘要: The teachings relates to method (40) in a target network (node16) of a target core network in a first domain during handover, in the first and in a second domain, of a communication device (20) from a source radio access network to a target radio access network. The source radio access network comprises a source access node (11) and the target radio access network comprises a target access (node12). The method (40) comprises determining (41) whether the communication device (20) has access admission to the target core network; when a hand over fails generating (42) a hand over failure message comprising an information element “Independent domain HandOver”, where in the information element is set to a predefined value indicating whether the hand over failed due to lack of access rights or for other reasons than lack of access rights. The teachings also relates to devices and further to methods in source nodes.

    摘要: Techniques for performing radio link measurements while a wireless device is operating in an extended DRX mode are disclosed. An example method, implemented by a wireless device in a wireless communication network, comprises waking up (510) in advance of a scheduled DRX on-time, and outside of any other scheduled DRX on-time, for at least one measurement interval, performing (520) radio link measurements during the at least one measurement interval, and determining (530) whether the wireless device is in an in-synch or out-of-synch status. In some embodiments, the in-synch or out-of-synch status and/or a radio-link failure are selectively reported to upper layers of the mobile terminal's protocol stack, e.g., to an RRC layer.

    摘要: A network node serves a cell of a mobile network. The network node indicates an offset value to a user equipment in the cell. The offset value is added to a channel quality value measured by the user equipment for triggering a handover from the cell to a further cell of the mobile network. The network node increases the indicated offset value until a handover of the user equipment to the further cell of the mobile network is triggered. After the handover to the further cell, the network node receives an indication of a channel quality of a downlink control channel of the further cell as experienced by the user equipment, e.g., in control signalling of a further handover of the user equipment back to the cell or in a request to protect radio resources of the downlink control channel.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods and to wireless devices for device-to-device communication. One of the methods includes configuring direct control messages and reference signals, based on capability and state of the wireless device with regards to device to device communication. The method further includes associating, in the wireless device, at least one direct control message to a synchronization reference signal, configuring the at least one direct control message and/or the synchronization reference signal, such that a recipient can identify the association between the at least one direct control message and the synchronization reference signal, using the configuration of the direct control message and/or the synchronization reference signal. The at least one direct control message is then transmitted.
