Abstract:
Disclosed is a method to operate a wireless device, comprising a communication unit, in a wireless cellular network comprising at least two radio access networks, the communication unit being configured to communicate to a network node of the wireless cellular network, the network node being associated to a first radio access network. The method comprises the steps for the communication unit of: detecting if a second radio access network of said wireless cellular network fulfills a predefined set of access parameters, wherein the second radio access network supports a different access technology than the first radio access network. If the second radio access network fulfills said set of access parameters: sending a connection release indication to the network node, receiving from the network node a connection release confirmation message, sending a connection request message to the wireless cellular network with selection of said second radio access network.
Abstract:
In an operating method of a user equipment that exchanges signals with network nodes of a cellular radio access network, a quantity that is indicative of a current operating temperature of the user equipment is measured; the user equipment determines whether a threshold value relating to the operating temperature has been exceeded; if the threshold value is exceeded, temperature information is transmitted to a network node of the cellular radio access network, to indicate that the threshold value has been exceeded; in response, the user equipment receives an instruction to use a second set of operating parameters requiring a smaller average power input for the connection to the cellular radio access network in comparison with the first set of operating parameters; and the user equipment, in response to receiving the instruction, reconfigures its connection to the cellular radio access network so as to use the second set of operating parameters.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a radio device for requesting and receiving a radio network service from at least one cellular radio network, comprising a multi-domain monitoring unit, which is configured to determine, while access to a first one of the radio network domains is maintained, first availability information regarding the requested radio network service from the first radio network domain and second availability information regarding the requested radio network service from at least one second radio network domain of the set of radio network domains, and provide at its output, at least upon determination that the first availability information indicates non-availability of the requested radio network service from the first radio network domain, an availability output indicative at least of those second radio network domains with determined current availability of the requested radio network service.
