    摘要: Systems and methods that are particularly well-suited for service-based core network endpoint authentication are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a network node implementing a second network function in a core network of a cellular communications system comprises receiving, at a main service of the second network function, a request from a first network function for a desired service via Hypertext Transfer Protocol/Representational State Transfer (HTTP/REST) signaling. The request comprises information that identifies one or more delegate endpoints of the first network function that expose one or more delegate services, respectively, of the first network function for providing the desired service using one or more different communication styles. The method further comprises initiating the desired service using a selected delegate endpoint from the one or more delegate endpoints identified by the information comprised in the request.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method performed by a network node (130, 140, 160) of a wireless communication network (100) comprising a first (130) and a second (140) core network node and a first (150) and a second (160) base station (150). A session of a wireless device (170) comprises data packets routed via a plurality of anchor network nodes (115, 120) from a data network (110). In connection with the wireless device (170) handing over from the first base station (150) and the first core network node (130) to the second base station (160) and the second core network node (140), the method comprises receiving information of the number of the plurality of anchor network nodes (115, 120) via which data packets of the session are routed, receiving data packets from the plurality of anchor network nodes (115, 120), receiving an end marker of each of the plurality of anchor network nodes (115, 120), each end marker indicating a last data packet of one of the plurality of anchor network nodes routed via the first core network node (130), and when the number of received end markers equals the number of the plurality of anchor network nodes, triggering to send to the wireless device (170) any data packets related to the session not routed via the first base station stored in a buffer of the second base station.

    摘要: According to an aspect of the teachings herein, dynamic cell activation uses the spectrum of a spectrum owner to provide wireless communication services in a location that may not be served by the spectrum owner. For example, a base station determines which one of two or more network operators is targeted by a wireless device requesting access, and correspondingly activates communication services for the device, using spectrum owned by the targeted network operator. Advantageously, the cell(s) may not be persistent and instead may be provided only when access is requested and then only in the spectrum of the targeted network operator(s). This approach offers power savings as compared to providing persistent cells for multiple network operators. Further, the contemplated arrangement makes it economic for third parties and network operators to use of operator-owned spectrum that might otherwise remain unexploited in the involved locations.
