Abstract:
Embodiments of apparatus and method for random access are disclosed. In an example, a user equipment can include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code can be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the user equipment at least to send a trigger message and unique identifier in a first message from the user equipment to a network node. The at least one memory and the computer program code can also be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the user equipment at least to receive an acknowledgement at the user equipment in a second message from the network node using the user equipment' s unique identifier. Contention resolution for the user equipment can be concluded with only the first message and the second message.
Abstract:
The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a mobility node (105a, 105b, 305a, 305b) for handling a UE (101) which has moved from an old to a new location. The mobility node receives a TAU/RAU request message from an eNB and in response retrieves UE context information from a database (315) being accessible by the old and new mobility nodes and the old and new serving (first) gateways (S-GW). The mobility node determines whether there is a change of mobility node (105a, 105b, 305a, 305b) and first gateway (S-GW, 110a, 110b, 310a, 310b) at the new location. When there is a change of the first gateway (110a, 110b, 310a, 310b), the mobility node initiates setup of a tunnel between a second gateway (P-GW, 115, 318) and a new first gateway (110b, 310b). When there is a change of the mobility node (105a, 105b, 305a, 305b), the mobility node provides a subscriber server (HSS, 128, 308) with UE context for a new mobility node (105b, 305b) at the new location. The mobility node transmits updated UE context to the database (315).
Abstract:
The embodiments herein relate to a method in an AAA server (103) for enabling authorization of a wireless device (101) to access a first network (100a) while simultaneously accessing a second network (100b). The AAA server (103) retrieves information identifying a current SGSN (108)currently serving the wireless device (101) in the second network (100b). When the AAA server (103) retrieves authorization information for the wireless device (101) access to the first network (100a) from a HLR (105), the AAA server (103) indicates the current SGSN (108) as a new SGSN to the HLR (105). The indication is to be interpreted by the HLR (105) as an update of location information or a refresh procedure from the current SGSN (108).
Abstract:
The present invention addresses apparatuses, methods and computer program product for providing improved allocation of location information for a specific location information related function. Thereby, it is determined whether Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network location information is processable for a specific location information related function, and transmission of a Provide Subscriber Information request to a network element is caused. In case it is determined that the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network location information is processable for the specific location information related function, embedding a request for obtaining Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network location information from the network element into the Provide Subscriber Information request.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solution for handling customer activity when connecting to a wireless communication network and in particular for statistics of customer activity using the network. This is provided in a number of aspects such as methods, node, and system for reporting user profile statistics from deep packet inspection of data packets in a packet data network (100) to a policy and charging rules function entity (104) which in turn informs a subscriber usage profile repository (106), i.e. SUPR. The SUPR provides access to external application servers (108) to the subscriber usage profile information after access control.
Abstract:
Techniques for supporting a control plane solution for location services and positioning are described. In an aspect, an Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC) may communicate with a Mobility Management Entity (MME) to support location services and positioning for a UE. In one design, the E-SMLC may receive a location request from the MME, perform a positioning procedure with the UE in response to the location request, and send a location response to the MME after completing the positioning procedure. For a UE-assisted or UE-based positioning procedure, the E-SMLC may send a downlink positioning message to the UE via the MME and may receive an uplink positioning message from the UE via the MME. For a network-based positioning procedure, the E-SMLC may send a network positioning request message to an eNB via the MME and may receive a network positioning response message from the eNB via the MME.
