20090017819 | Restricting The Use Of Mobile Terminals Based On Forced Location Updating - A method and apparatus for temporarily disabling a mobile terminal which is associable with a mobile telecommunications network for obtaining communication services therefrom is described. A base station simulator ( | 01-15-2009 |
20090067628 | TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS - Various advantageous arrangements for use with the proposed SAE/LTE or 4G mobile telecommunications system are disclosed. An arrangement for allowing a mobile terminal/UE ( | 03-12-2009 |
20090111458 | GATEWAY FOR A SYSTEM HAVING MULTIPLE RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES - A telecommunications system is disclosed, including a first radio access technology (legacy: GSM; UMTS/UTRAN) having a first radio access network (node B | 04-30-2009 |
20090168793 | Prioritising Data Transmission - Transmitting from a mobile terminal to a telecommunication network data stored in a plurality of queues, each queue having a respective transmission priority, includes setting the data in each of said queues to be either primary data or secondary data, or a combination of primary data and secondary data. The data may be transmitted from the queues in an order in dependence upon the priority of the queue and whether the data in that queue are primary data or secondary data. Resources for data transmission may be allocated such that the primary data of each of said queues are transmitted at a minimum predetermined rate and such that the secondary data of each of said queues are transmitted at a maximum predetermined rate, greater that said minimum predetermined rate. | 07-02-2009 |
20090180417 | Ehspa Architecture - A system and method for use in a telecommunications network may utilize Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS), specifically, a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network may utilize MBMS and eHSPA technology. IP multicast connections directly between the eHSPA Node Bs I | 07-16-2009 |
20100048168 | Telecommunications Networks - Providing a mobile terminal with system information which enables the terminal to access one of the cells of a cellular telecommunications system includes transmitting from the telecommunications system to all terminals within the cell, including the terminal, a system information indicator that makes available to the terminal system information to provide access to the system. The system information indicator is transmitted on the broadcast channel (BCH). The system information indicator may be a sub-set of the system information conventionally transmitted on the BCH but which is sufficient to allow the mobile terminal to access the network and obtain in the downlink further system information. Alternatively, the information transmitted in the BCH may be a profile index value which directs the mobile terminal to retrieve from a store of the mobile terminal system information pre-stored on the mobile terminal. | 02-25-2010 |
20100197294 | IMPLEMENTATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK ACCESS RESTRICTIONS - A system and method for restricting public access to a mobile telecommunications network in order to prevent congestion. The system and method are particularly useful in situations where the number of end users exceeds, or is likely to exceed, network capacity, for example in emergency situations or for large public gatherings, such as sporting events or New Years Eve celebrations. The system and method disclosed uses filtering by network elements, such as the base stations and MSCs. In particular the system and method can filter low data messages, such as SMS, from more demanding services, such as voice calls, so that all low data messages are transmitted, while the more demanding services are terminated, unless special conditions are met. | 08-05-2010 |
20100260099 | HSPA Evolution Architecture - A telecommunications network, including an evolved base station node having a node controller and a first radio network controller (RNC), the node controller configured to communicate with user terminals, and the first radio network controller configured to communicate with a packet switched component of a core network, but not with a circuit switched component, may further include a second RNC that communicates with the node controller and also communicates with the packet switched component of the core network and a circuit switched component. A method of establishing communication between a user terminal and the core network via the second RNC, when the user terminal has a control plane connection with the evolved base station node, such that the first RNC is the serving RNC (SRNC), may include tunnelling communication set up messages over the control plane between the node controller and the core network via the second RNC. | 10-14-2010 |
20110026484 | MOBILITY MANAGEMENT IN TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - A mobile telecommunications network includes a core network and a plurality of eNode Bs. A mobile terminal communicates with the core network via one of the eNode Bs. In an embodiment, when the mobile terminal is in a connected state and there is a pause in data transfer, during which the mobile terminal is handed over from one eNode B to another eNode B, the first eNode B informs the new eNode B of the pause in data transmission so that an optimal length of the pause in data transmission can be maintained before the idle state is entered. In another embodiment, an element of the telecommunications network stores a history of movement of the mobile terminal and passes this to a new eNode B. In another embodiment, when handover occurs, the first eNode B provides the new eNode B with radio quality information relating to the mobile terminal. | 02-03-2011 |
20110263274 | TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS AND DEVICES - A GSM, UMTS or LTE mobile telecommunications network includes a radio access network comprising base stations, and further includes one or more additional access points. An access point may be connected to the network core by an IP transport broadband connection. The access point is configured to appear to the mobile terminal as a base station. Arrangements are disclosed which allow the network to restrict access to the network via these access points whilst also minimizing signaling requirements. The access points may be excluded from traditional Tracking Areas, but associated therewith by a network controller in a mapping in order to notify authorized mobile terminals of the Access Point's existence. | 10-27-2011 |
