摘要:
Auser equipment, UE, (16) with established radio communications service with a first type of radio network (10), receives from the first network information including parameters for scanning for radio access points in a second type of radio network (12) different from the first type. The UE scans access points in the second type of radio network based on the received information and detects access point data and reports the detected access point data to the first type of radio network. Subsequently, the UE receives a signal from the first network to switch radio communications service from the first network to one of the access points in the second network. In response to the received signal, the UE switches radio communications service from the first network to one of the access points in the second network.

A method for handling Circuit Switched Fallback from a Packet Switched domain includes receiving an indication that Circuit Switched Fallback is supported from an eNodeB located within the Packet Switched domain. The method also includes registering to a Circuit Switched domain associated with Circuit Switched Fallback by tunneling Circuit Switched Registration information, via the eNodeB, to the Circuit Switched domain, thereby enabling the User Equipment to setup a Circuit Switched call or receive a Circuit Switched page. The method also includes receiving a Circuit Switched specific parameter setting from the eNodeB. The Circuit Switched specific parameter setting includes decoding information to facilitate decoding of transmissions in the Circuit Switched domain. Additionally, the method includes, after receiving the Circuit Switched specific parameter setting, switching from the Packet Switched domain to the Circuit Switched domain and using the decoding information to access the Circuit Switched domain.

A method manages bearers over a first wireless link between a self-backhauled base station and a base station, where the self-backhauled base station serves one or more user equipments (UEs) via one or more second wireless links in a network. The method is implemented at the self-backhauled base station and includes identifying changes in numbers and/or characteristics of UE bearers multiplexed onto a backhaul bearer associated with the first wireless link. The method further includes dynamically reconfiguring resources allocated to the backhaul beare.

The disclosure relates to a method and radio base station for sharing resources in a wireless communication system. The radio base station stores an identity of a first entity to which a first plurality of UEs is associated. The first plurality of UEs has full access to resources provided by the radio base station. The radio base station also stores an identity of a second entity to which a second plurality of UEs is associated. The second plurality of UEs has partial access to the resources provided by the radio base station. When the radio base station receives a request for accessing resources from a UE, it determines whether the UE is associated with the second entity, i.e. if the UE is to be handled in support mode. If the UE is associated with the second entity it means that the UE only should have partial access to the resources.
摘要:
A method in a first user equipment (UE 1) connectable to a second user equipment (UE 2) via a communication network or via a direct radio communication link, of using a direct radio communication link for communication between the UEs is initiated when one of the UEs receives probe signaling information comprising a first probe token via the communication network. The UEs exchange probe signaling messages including a second and/or the first probe token at least partly according to the probe signaling information, such that one of the UEs can compare the probe tokens, generate a probing report and provide the probing report to the communication network, or to the opposite UE for evaluation in case of a successful comparison and such that a direct radio communication link can be used for communication with UE 2 in response to receiving instructions to use the second direct radio communication link from the entity by which the probing report was evaluated.
摘要:
Teachings herein include a base station and a relay node for propagating system information changes from the base station to the relay node. Upon receiving changes from the base station, the relay node advantageously determines whether to apply the changes immediately or to defer application until a set time period. The relay node then applies the changes at a time in accordance with that determination. In some embodiments, the relay node employs deferred application for fundamental changes (those changes that would fatally disrupt ongoing communications if applied before the set time period), but employs immediate application for non-fundamental changes in order to minimize relay node complexity. Regardless, the relay node may make the determination based on preconfigured rules, or on control indicators received from the base station. Correspondingly, the base station may generate the control indicators to explicitly direct the relay node to employ immediate application or deferred application.

Teachings herein include a base station for propagating system information changes from the base station to the relay node. Upon transmitting system information changes to the relay node, the base station defers data transmission between the base station and the relay node until a set time period. In many embodiments, the base station is configured to actually apply the system information changes during this time period, while the relay node applies the changes before then, e.g., by applying them immediately upon reception. The base station's deferral of data transmission until the set time period thus ensures that data transmission does not occur until both the base station and the relay node have applied the pending changes. This in turn prevents radio link failure from occurring due to use of different system parameters by the base station and relay node.

A core network node maintains history information configured to provide a log of location information, and uses the history information to determine whether a wireless terminal is in a location update toggling scenario. The history information can also be used to curtail the toggling scenario. One example mode comprises using the history information to determine whether the wireless terminal is toggling between plural radio access networks of differing radio access technologies. Another example mode comprises using the history information to determine whether the wireless terminal is toggling between a first area update location and a second area update location. Yet another example mode comprises using the history information to determine whether the wireless terminal is toggling between a first core network node and a second core network node.

A security key, K_eNB, for protecting RRC/UP traffic between a User Equipment, UE, and a serving eNodeB is established by a method and an arrangement in a Mobility Management Entity, MME, and in said UE, of an Evolved Packet System, EPS. The MME and the UE derives the security key, K_eNB, from at least an NAS uplink sequence number, NAS_U_SEQ, sent from the UE to the MME, and from an Access Security Management Entity-key, K_ASME, shared between the MME and the UE.
摘要:
A donor radio base station and relay node for configuring information associated with radio bearers in a radio communications network. The donor radio base station controls the relay node, which serves a cell and controls a number of first radio bearers over a first radio interface between the relay node and at least one user equipment served in the cell. The donor radio base station further controls a number of second radio bearers over a second radio interface between the donor radio base station and the relay node. The donor radio base station receives characteristic information indicating a characteristic of the relay node, and configures bearer information associated with at least one of the first radio bearers or the second radio bearers based on the indicated characteristic in the received characteristic information. The configured bearer information is utilized in the radio communications network during operation.
