20080227445 | Paging scheme - Disclosed is a multi-access device including a communication unit including capabilities for communicating through access networks according to at least two different access technologies. The multi-access device receives a paging message at least through an access network according to one of the at least two different access technologies, selects one of the access networks available for the multi-access device in response to the paging message, and answers to the paging message through the selected access network. Also disclosed is a paging center configured to initiate paging of a given multi-access device, to use an access network according to a first default access technology for the paging, and to wait for to receive an answer to the paging through an access network according to any access technology available in the communication network, said access network, through which an answer is received, having been selected for the multi-access device in response to said paging. | 09-18-2008 |
20110182213 | Network Node, Network and a Method for Waking Up a Network Node - A network node for connecting a network with a terminal is described, wherein the network node includes a sleep control device. The sleep control device includes a terminal linking device and a network linking device. The terminal linking device is adapted to connect to a terminal, wherein the network linking device is adapted to connect to a network. Furthermore, the network node is adapted to enter a standby mode, wherein the sleep control device is further adapted to switch on the network node on appearing of at least one trigger event of (i) appearing of a predefined signal sequence on the terminal linking device during a monitoring period of a listen cycle or (ii) appearing of a terminal paging signal sequence on the network linking device. The sleep control device is adapted to detect during the monitoring period the predefined signal sequence on the terminal linking device. | 07-28-2011 |
20110211514 | Reducing Interference and Energy Consumption for FEMTO Base Stations - The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses, a system and a computer program product for reducing interference and energy consumption of wireless devices. An apparatus, namely a femto base station or home (e) NodeB, can include a transmitting unit, a receiving unit, a determining unit, a disabling unit, a disabling handshaking unit, and a reassigning unit. If the determining unit determines that there is no active communication between the apparatus and a user device, the disabling unit may disable the transmitting unit and the receiving unit while maintaining a connection between the apparatus and a network. A disabling handshaking can be performed by the disabling handshaking unit to achieve this, wherein the re-assigning unit may re-assign one or more user device(s) to a network apparatus, namely a macro (e) NodeB. | 09-01-2011 |
20110212720 | Method of Improving Coverage and Optimisation in Communication Networks - A method and apparatus for detecting and determining the location of a coverage hole in a communications network such as a cellular communication system wherein the location is determined from operational parameters and/or by network elements themselves. Additionally is a method to reduce a hole by adjusting antennae parameters preferably remotely and automatically and this can be done in conjunction with hole location to optimise the system. | 09-01-2011 |
20140026197 | COORDINATION BETWEEN SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS - A mechanism to handle conflict situations relating to a situation in which an intended SON operation at or near the domain's boundary (border area) may impact on one or more cells in a neighboring domain comprises a single-domain coordinator that assesses whether there may be an impact on the neighboring domain, and if yes, requests an inter-domain, coordinator to check and assess whether there is a conflict. | 01-23-2014 |
20140040450 | COORDINATION IN SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS - To decide, whether or not a SON function instance is allowed to execute, a priority, an impact time and an impact area for the SON function instance is determined, and priorities of other SON function instances scheduled to be run during the impact time of the requesting SON function instance and having an overlapping impact area are compared to the priority of the requesting SON function instance. | 02-06-2014 |
20140315538 | Method of Improving Coverage and Optimisation in Communication Networks - A method and apparatus for detecting and determining the location of a coverage hole in a communications network such as a cellular communication system wherein the location is determined from operational parameters and/or by network elements themselves. Additionally is a method to reduce a hole by adjusting antennae parameters preferably remotely and automatically and this can be done in conjunction with hole location to optimise the system. | 10-23-2014 |
20150026327 | MULTI-LEVEL SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORK COORDINATION - There are provided measures for realizing multi-level self-organizing network coordination, including self-organizing network coordination procedures. Such measures exemplarily comprise communication of a notification for self-organizing network coordination, which notifies an action of at least one self-organizing network function at a lower management level, from the lower management level of a self-organizing network to a higher management level of the self-organizing network, either before the action is actually performed or after the action has actually been performed, and coordination of the notified action in terms of self-organizing network coordination at the higher management level. | 01-22-2015 |
