Abstract:
Embodiments of a Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The gNB may be configurable to operate as a source gNB. The gNB may be configured with logical nodes including a gNB central unit (gNB-CU) and a gNB distributed unit (gNB-DU). The gNB-CU may comprise a gNB-CU control plane (gNB-CU-CP) for control-plane functionality, and a gNB-CU user plane (gNB-CU-UP) for user-plane functionality. When a handover of a User Equipment (UE) from the source gNB to a target gNB is performed, the gNB may transfer, from the gNB-DU to the gNB-CU-UP, a downlink data delivery status (DDDS) message to indicate that the gNB-CU-UP is to stop transfer, to the gNB-DU, of downlink data intended for the UE.
Abstract:
A communication method, an access network device and a communication device using the same method, and a communication system are proposed. According to an embodiment, the communication method can include following step. An access network device determines whether there is any femto cell within the coverage area thereof. when there is at least one femto cell within the coverage area thereof, the access network device obtains femto cell information of the at least one femto cell; and delivers the femto cell information to at least one terminal device within the coverage area thereof, where the femto cell information includes an indication of the at least one femto cell, at least one femto cell identifier and at least one carrier frequency of the at least one femto cell.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device for application-based class identification is provided with a wireless module and a controller module. The wireless module performs wireless transmissions and receptions to and from a service network. The controller module determines a class of a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) application, and determines a priority level corresponding to the class of the M2M application. Also, the controller module initiates the M2M application via the wireless module according to at least one M2M parameter corresponding to the priority level.
Abstract:
A method of upgrading software in network elements of a telecommunications network where operation of a plurality of network elements of a first type depends on operation of a network element of a second type. The method comprises receiving upgrade packages by the network element of the second type and at least part of the network elements of the first type. At least part of the network elements of the first type entering a waiting state and starting their upgrade when start of the upgrade of the network element of the second type is detected.
Abstract:
A mobile communications device with a wireless module and a controller module for performing an enhanced access procedure is provided. The wireless module performs wireless transmissions and receptions to and from a cellular station of a service network. The controller module transmits a random access preamble to the cellular station via the wireless module, receives a random access response message corresponding to the random access preamble from the cellular station via the wireless module, and transmits a scheduled transmission message including the MTC (machine type communication) data from the cellular station via the wireless module, in response to the random access response message. Then, the controller module completes the enhanced access procedure in response to receiving a contention resolution message from the cellular station via the wireless module.
Abstract:
A system includes a plurality of machines that operate responsive to data bearing records such as user cards (74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86). The machines operate to carry out financial transactions with associated host computers (90, 94, 100, 104) responsive to determinations that card data corresponds to computer stored data corresponding to authorized users or accounts. Marketing presentations are stored on and output from the machines responsive to messages exchanged with a market message server (110) which is connected to the machines. Systems can also distribute and activate instructions corresponding to states and screens logic on the machines to determine operation.
Abstract:
An apparatus for notifying of a circuit switched event over a packetized data network. The apparatus includes a packetized data modem and an interworkng interface. The packetized data modem is configured to transmit and receive packetized data over a packetized data radio link. The packetized data modem has a tunneling link access control processor that is configured to encapsulate/decapsulate data for a subset of sub-layers corresponding to a link access control layer of a circuit switched network model. The interworking interface is operatively coupled to the packetized data modem via the packetized data network, and is configured to notify the packetized data modem of the circuit switched event. The interworkng interface has a link access control/tunneling link access control processor that is configured to encapsulate/decapsulate the data when performing notification of the circuit switched event.

Abstract:
A method of operating a wireless communications network comprising a first plurality of base stations serving a second plurality of subscriber stations and at least one Radio Network Controller. The method comprises detecting (102) a malfunction affecting provision of services by a base station, determining (104) cell affected by said malfunction. If said base station continues (106) to transmit signal in said affected cell then power of signal transmitted by said base station in the affected cell is reduced (108) and adjusting (110) power of signal transmitted by base stations in cells adjacent to said affected cell to provide network coverage for the affected area.
