20100113017 | METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR MANAGING SIGNALING PEAK LOADS - In densely populated areas a random period of time or an offset is added in order to avoid signaling congestion. Using the described method and system will reduce the signaling peak load on the signaling channels when many subscribers are changing Location Area at the same time. The method and system as described herein are easy to implement and does not require additional hardware resources or configurations on the network side. | 05-06-2010 |
20110250862 | HANDLING OF SEGMENTATION OF ETWS MESSAGES - The transmission of a warning message to a mobile terminal in a mobile communication network is triggered by an emergency event. The mobile terminal is first made aware of the need to receive a warning message by reception of an emergency event notification. The warning message is divided into a plurality of message segments. Each segment is transmitted in a separate paging message over a paging channel to mobile terminals in an idle mode. Information is added to each message segment to enable the mobile terminal to discriminate between segments belonging to different warning messages. | 10-13-2011 |
20110268083 | METHOD TRANSFERRING VOICE CALLS - In a method and system for transferring a voice call in the packet switched domain to a system supporting both packet switched and circuit switched voice calls, target system, i.e. the system to which an ongoing voice call is transferred is in control of deciding if an ongoing voice call in the originating system should continue in the circuit switched domain or the packet switched domain. In addition the system is enabled to reserve resources in the system to receive the voice call before handing over the voice call. | 11-03-2011 |
20110280184 | MTC SERVICE ACTIVATION - An MTC device activates an MTC service by first performing an MTC device attachment procedure to attach to a mobile communication network. After the MTC device is attached to the mobile communication network, the MTC device activates a packet data protocol context for the MTC device with the mobile communication network. After the packet data protocol context is activated, the MTC device activates an MTC service with an MTC server. | 11-17-2011 |
20120122488 | Method for the determination of a receiver for location information - The invention relates to a method for distinguishing between LOCATION_REPORT messages to avoid ambiguities. Therefore, a value of an information element of request type is returned by a radio network controller, depending on an intended receiver of the location information. A control node receiving the information element value analyses said value and determines the receiver depending on the result of said analysis. | 05-17-2012 |
20130072195 | ACQUISITION OF INFORMATION FOR A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK - There is provided an information acquisition method to be executed by a mobile station, connected to a first radio access network of a first radio access technology, to perform acquisition of an information set related to a second radio access network of a second, different radio access technology for enabling mobility to the second radio access network. Basically, the method comprises receiving (S | 03-21-2013 |
20130163560 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING CIRCUIT SWITCHED FALL BACK OF A MOBILE STATION FROM E-UTRAN TO UTRAN/GERAN IN A FULL-MULTI-OPERATOR CORE NETWORK - Packet Switched (PS) handover based Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) of a mobile station is controlled from an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) cell to a target Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) cell or a target GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) cell in a PS domain. A network node receives a handover request from a SGSN. A PLMN ID associated with the SGSN is identified. A set of PLMN IDs transmitted as system information by the target UTRAN cell or the target GERAN cell is identified. A PLMN ID index is generated to indicate an association between the PLMN ID associated with the SGSN and one of the PLMN IDs of the set. The PLMN ID index is communicated toward the mobile station for use during PS handover based CSFB. The mobile station embeds the PLMN ID index in a Location Area Update (LAU) message, and transmits the LAU message to a target BSS/RNS of the GERAN/UTRAN cell for use during the PS handover based CSFB. | 06-27-2013 |
20140051437 | PLMN SPECIFIC IMPLICIT REJECT FEATURE FOR CONTROLLING MOBILE STATION SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT - A method is provided by a network node for restricting access attempts by a plurality of mobile stations (MSs). The network node supports a Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) having a plurality of Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs). The method includes determining that an overload condition is occurring. Responsive to determining that the overload condition is occurring, an Implicit Reject indication is communicated within one or more Access Grant Channel (AGCH) messages or Paging Channel (PCH) messages to the MSs identifying that an Implicit Reject feature is active to restrict access attempts to the network node. A broadcast message is communicated to the MSs containing information identifying at least one of the PLMNs to which the Implicit Reject feature applies. Any of the MSs registered with the at least one of the PLMNs identified by the information can restrict their access attempts to the network node. A corresponding method by a MS and corresponding network nodes and MSs are provided. | 02-20-2014 |
20140146753 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INFORMATION ABOUT PLMN ID - A mobile station for use in a Radio Access Network, RAN, connected to a core network in which there is one or more Public Land Mobile Networks, PLMNs. The mobile station is arranged to select one of said PLMNs, and is arranged to communicate with its RAN by means of Radio Link Control, RLC, data blocks. The mobile station is arranged to include the identity, ID, of its selected PLMN in an RLC data block, and to inform the RAN of the presence of the ID of the chosen PLMN in the RLC data block by means of including a reserved or pre-defined value in the length indication field of the RLC data block. | 05-29-2014 |
20140308975 | METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF A RECEIVER FOR LOCATION INFORMATION - The invention relates to a radio network controller (RNC) for receiving a LOCATION | 10-16-2014 |
