| 20080207269 | Basestation for cellular communications system - A basestation for a cellular communications system includes back-to-back software stacks for terminating messages from a mobile station intended for the core network, and for recreating the messages in a form suitable for transmission to the core network, and further for terminating messages from the core network intended for a mobile station, and for recreating the messages in a form suitable for transmission to the mobile station. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080254833 | Private Access Point Containing a Sim Card - An access point, or base station, for a mobile communications network, such as a cellular communications network, can be installed by a user, for use within or close to their own home or office. The base station has a SIM card, and can establish secure communications with the core network of the mobile communications network over the user's existing broadband internet connection. The base station is also able to obtain the necessary ciphering keys, in order to allow the mobile device to communicate securely with the base station, and hence with the core network. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080305835 | Cellular basestation - A method of managing registration requests from unauthorized user equipments in a cellular communications network includes monitoring such further registration requests and maintaining a count of the total number of registration requests from said user equipment. Based on the counted number of unsuccessful registration requests, different mechanisms can be used to reject the registration request. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090017864 | Local area cellular basestation - A base station for a cellular wireless communications network has a first interface, enabling connection with a remote communications device using a cellular wireless communications protocol in the cellular wireless communications network. The base station also has a second interface, enabling connection over a wide area network, and a third interface, enabling connection over a local area network. Software enables communication over the wide area network between a remote communications device, connected to the first interface, and a core network of the cellular wireless communications network. Software can also enable the remote communications device to communicate with a device in the local area network, or with a server in the wide area network, without using the core network of the cellular wireless communications network. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090190550 | Handover information sent over a public wide area network (e.g. internet) - A basestation ( | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090257416 | ACCESS POINT - An access point has a connection to a wide area network, and is configured to allow a device to connect thereto, and includes an Application Programming Interface for allowing a remote application to connect to the access point over the wide area network, and to obtain information relating to the device connected to the access point. In particular, the access point is configured to allow a device to connect thereto over a wireless interface, and to provide bearer translation such that traffic over the wireless interface can be directed over the wide area network. The Application Programming Interface may then allow the application to obtain information relating to a connection status of a wireless device associated with the access point. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100317386 | CELLULAR BASESTATION - A cellular basestation, for example a femtocell basestation, is able to configure its cel reselection parameters, in order to define a desired transition zone, in which cell reselections may take place. Specifically, the basestation detects broadcast cell reselection parameters of at least one neighbouring basestation, and adapts its own broadcast cell reselection parameters in response to the detected broadcast parameters of the neighbouring basestation. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110039539 | SCRAMBLING CODE SELECTION - A basestation forms part of a group of basestations within a cellular communications network, and selects an identifying code for use in identifying transmissions from the basestation. The basestation receives from a management node a first list of identifying codes and a second list of identifying codes, wherein the identifying codes of the first list can appear in neighbour cell lists of basestations outside said group, and wherein the identifying codes of the second list can not appear in neighbour cell lists of basestations outside said group. The basestation determines whether there is at least one identifying code either in the first list of identifying codes or the second list of identifying codes that is not used by any other basestation in said group. If there is at least one identifying code in the first list of identifying codes and at least one identifying code in the second list of identifying codes that are not used by any other basestation in said group, an identifying code from the first list of identifying codes is selected in preference to an identifying code from the second list of identifying codes. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110039564 | LOAD BALANCING IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A cellular access point, amongst a plurality of interconnected cellular access points receives from a first user equipment a connection attempt that would cause the access point to exceed a first predetermined capacity threshold. The cellular access point selects one of the previously connected user equipments and an associated one of the plurality of interconnected cellular access points. The cellular access point initiates a handover of the selected one of the previously connected user equipments to the associated one of the plurality of interconnected cellular access points and establishes a connection with the first user equipment. | 02-17-2011 |
