Abstract: A method for transmitting system information by a base node to at least one wireless communication device camping on the base node, the base node supporting a dedicated resource region for communication devices, which is capable of being deployed at least in-band and out-of-band relative to a common frequency band. The method includes collecting a configuration parameter for said dedicated resource region according to a predetermined time period and to arrange said configuration parameter in system information blocks. If the dedicated resource region is deployed in-band and a wideband transmission session is active, adding to at least one of the system information blocks a valid subframe indication for submitting system information blocks instead of wideband transmission blocks, and transmitting said system information blocks according to said valid subframe indication. In case it is not deployed in-band, transmitting the system information blocks unchanged in a carrier frequency outside of the common frequency band.

Abstract: A method for operating a low-mobility wireless device in a cellular network, wherein the low-mobility wireless device operates with an active base node, and the low-mobility wireless device operates in a first mode, in which measurements of transmissions of base nodes are diminished. When the cellular network is enhanced by a new base node, the active base node transmits a first indication at least to the low-mobility wireless device. The low-mobility wireless device, in response to the reception of the first indication, switches to a second mode of operation, comprising execution of at least one measurement of transmissions of base nodes, and transmits at least one measurement report to the then-active base node. The active base node, upon reception of a measurement report, updates neighbour relation data relating to the base node identified by a base node reference with information obtained from the received measurement report.

Abstract: A radio device, comprising an application scheduling unit configured to initiate a transmission of application output data in communication with a radio access network in accordance with a predetermined application transmission schedule determining at least one allowed time, which is a time span or a point in time, for the communication of the application output data. The allowed time depends on a parameter value of a set of at least one parameter that is allocated to the radio device and that is suitable for distinguishing the radio device from at least one other radio device of a group of radio devices to which the radio device belongs. A communication unit is configured to transmit the application output data in communication with the radio access network in the form of radio signals and at a time that is in accordance with the predetermined transmission schedule.

Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a detector configured to detect presence of a first possible connection to a mobile network and a second possible connection to the mobile network, the first possible connection being a connection of a first technology and the second possible connection being a connection of a second technology. A selector identifies which of the first possible connection and the second possible connection causes less energy consumption in the mobile terminal in its low-power mode of operation, and a controller connects the mobile terminal to the mobile network through the identified possible connection. The disclosure is also directed to a corresponding operating method, a corresponding computer program, and a network entity for supporting a mobile terminal in performing a power consumption sensitive cell reselection.
