Abstract:
A technique for optimizing, based on information from an analytics engine, a decision concerning an SRVCC handover of a UE is disclosed. In a first method aspect, the method is performed in an IMS core and comprises the steps of inquiring, from the analytics engine, a recommendation on whether the PS domain or the CS domain is to be the access domain for an originating side for the UE, receiving the recommendation comprising a probability per UE that an SRVCC handover will occur after initiation of a voice call in VoLTE, and selecting, based on the probability, one of the PS domain and CS domain as the access domain for the originating side for the UE. In a second method aspect, the analytics engine has stored, per UE, a probability that an SRVCC handover will occur after initiation of a UE voice call in VoLTE. The engine transmits the recommendation comprising the probability per UE.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method for operating a network node in a cellular communication network. The method comprises observing or estimating, for a user equipment in a dual connectivity operation, a length of a measurement gap (Mg) and/or length of serving cell interruption (Tint) caused by the UE on at least one serving cell. The method also comprises comparing the Mg and/or Tint with respective thresholds, and determining whether the UE operates in unsynchronized or synchronized DC mode based on the comparison. There are also disclosed further related methods and devices.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to wireless communication. In one aspect, the technology described herein concerns a method performed by, or executed in, a control node of a wireless communication network, e.g. a RNC. The method comprises generating (401) an identifier (e.g. a handshake ID), and associating (402) the identifier with one HS-SCCH order as well as one MAC Control Information. It is thus possible to establish a one-to-one mapping between the identifier and said HS-SCCH order and said MAC Control Information. Furthermore, the generated identifier and its associated HS-SCCH order as well as its associated MAC Control Information may be communicated to another node (e.g. a UE and/or a RBS) of the wireless communication network.

Methods, a radio communication device (110) and a base station device (120) for managing a media stream to be received from a media server are disclosed. The radio communication device (110) transmits (A020), to the media server (130), a request for the first set of media rates and the at least one segment time period. The radio communication device (110) receives (A050) a response indicating the first set of media rates and the at least one segment time period. Moreover, the radio communication device (110) transmits (A070), to the base station device (120), a request for a second set of media rates, wherein the request comprises information about the first set of media rates, a parameter relating to length of the at least one segment time period, and an indication relating to a time period during which the second set of media rates is below a media stream rate for reception at the radio communication device (110). Furthermore, the radio communication device (110) receives (A160) a response indicating the second set of media rates, and selects (A170) a media rate out of the second set of media rates. A corresponding computer program and a carrier therefor are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Methods in location servers. A second location server is arranged to obtain geographic location of a communication device which performs an OTT (Over The Top) service and is connected via a demarcation node of an organisation. An identifier of a first location server is received 500 together with information regarding which communication devices 208, 208m that the first location server 270 stores geographic location information for. A location request is received from an OLS (Operator Location Service node 202 for requesting the geographic location information of the communication device 208, 208m. The location request originates from the OTT service providing node 200 and comprises an identifier of the communication device 208, 208m. The first location server 270 is determined 504 by utilising the received identifier of the communication device 208, 208m and the received identifier of a first location server 270. The geographic location information of the communication device 208, 208m is obtained 506 from the determined first location server 270 by utilising the received identifier of the first location server 270. The retrieved geographic location information of the communication device 208, 208m is sent 508 to the OLS node 202, such that the OLS node 202 can forward the received geographic location information to the OTT service providing node 200. By implementing functionality in a second location server to receive an identifier of a first location server, and information of which communication devices that are connected to a demarcation node, the second location server is enabled to obtain the geographic location information of the communication devices and present to an OTT service providing node. Thereby the OTT service providing node may fast retrieve accurate geographic location information of communication devices from appropriate location servers.

A method and a radio network node (110) for managing precoder reports from a set of user equipments (120) are disclosed. Each of the precoder reports indicates a precoder selected, by a respective user equipment (121, 122, 123) of the set of user equipments (120), to be used by the radio network node (110) for transmission to the respective user equipment (121, 122, 123). The radio network node (110) receives (202), in a first time interval, a first set of precoder reports from the set of user equipments (120). The radio network node (110) receives (204), in a second time interval, a second set of precoder reports from the set of user equipments (120). The radio network node (110) determines (209) a first distribution of precoders for the set of user equipments and a second distribution of precoders for the set ofuser equipments, wherein the precoders in the first distribution are indicated by the first set of precoder reports and the precoders in the second distribution are indicated by the second set of precoder reports, whereby a change in distribution of precoders for the set of user equipments (120) is detected. A corresponding computer program and a carrier therefor are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Embodiments presented in this disclosure relate to Active Queue Management (AQM) in wireless communication networks. More particularly, the disclosure inter alia presents a method (100) of congestion control in a first network node. The first network node is operable in a wireless communication network utilizing a distributed queue system for in-sequence delivery of data packets between the first network node and a second network node. A condition indicative of congestion is detected (110) by the first network node. In response thereto, a control message is transmitted (140) from the first network node to the second network node. The control message comprises an instruction to the second network node to discard, or distort, a subsequent data packet. The receiving, i.e. the second, network node is thus made aware of the congestions situation relatively quickly. Accordingly, the second network node may speedily take appropriate measures by discarding, or distorting, a subsequent data packet and thereby establish a congestion avoidance mechanism.
