    摘要: Systems and techniques for link failure management in multiple connection systems. Upon detection of a link failure with a local area base station during a dual connection mode in which the user device is connected to a macro base station and a local area base station, a user device sends a failure indication and a measurement results report for serving and neighboring base stations to its serving macro base station, and selects a response to the failure based at least in part on evaluation information received from the macro base station. Upon detection of a link failure with a macro base station, the user device determines whether to reconnect to the macro base station or a different macro base station and whether to reconnect with the original local area base station or a different local area base station.

    摘要: The present invention relates to devices, methods and computer program products concerning a communication link in, for example, a so-called unlicensed band. The invention proposes an apparatus, comprising: a control module configured to control a transceiver being controllable to use at least one of at least two transmission resources for communication with a respective other apparatus, wherein a first transmission resource is useable for a direct communication with another apparatus of a first type and a second transmission resource is useable for a communication with one of plural other apparatuses of a second type each linked to the other apparatus of the first type, determine whether communication is setup via one of the plural other apparatuses of the second type, and, in response thereto, obtain information for deciding to switch the communication to another one of the apparatuses of the second type, evaluate the information obtained, and, cause to decide to switch the communication to one other apparatus of the second type.

    摘要: In terms of enhancements in relation to, scenarios allowing communication via multiple access systems an example aspect of the present invention encompasses an apparatus, comprising a controller, configured to cause control of a transceiver which is configured to communicate via at least two access systems, receive at least two access control commands from distinct sources, each access control command commanding access to at least one of the at least two access systems, detect a conflict between at least part of the at least two commands, and in case of a detected conflict, resolve the conflict by causing to withdraw at least part of one of the at least two access control commands based on a priority relation between the at least two conflicting access control commands. Further, an apparatus is encompassed which comprises a controller, configured to cause control of a transceiver which is configured to communicate via an access system with a terminal, cause to transmit an access control command to said terminal, said access control command commanding access to at least one of at least two access systems available for said terminal, cause to receive a report from the terminal regarding a detected conflict relating to said access control command. Likewise, corresponding methods and computer program products are addressed.
