| 20090116450 | Method and apparatus for improving a mobile station cell change operation in the general packet radio system (GPRS) - A mobile station executed method, wherein upon changing from a current cell to a new cell in a wireless packet data network the mobile station enters the new cell; generates a cell change packet data unit (PDU) message for informing the network of the location of the mobile station in the new cell; buffers the cell change PDU message into a PDU transmit queue before any buffered PDUs that were present before the mobile station entered the new cell; and transmits the buffered cell change PDU before any of the buffered PDUs that were present before the mobile station entered the new cell. In accordance with another method for informing the wireless network of the MS cell change, the following steps are executed: (i) in response to the MS making access in a new cell, sending a Channel Request that indicates a Cell Update operation; (ii) establishing an uplink (UL) Temporary Block Flow (TBF) for transferring Logical Link Control (LLC) Packet Data Units (PDUs) from the MS to the network; (iii) in response to the network receiving an unknown Temporary Logical Link Identifier (TLLI) from the MS, sending a message to a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and (iv) based on the message, determining with the SGSN the new cell location of the MS. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090305674 | Device management in visited network - An apparatus and method perform device management (DM) operations for a wireless network. One example includes receiving, at a network device, connection information of a roaming device in the wireless network. Next, at least one of a user profile and a corresponding roaming device profile are created in response to receiving the connection information, and a device management session may be established. In addition, a bootstrap message may be created based on at least one of the user profile and the corresponding roaming device profile and may be forwarded in order to initiate the device management session. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100142478 | NEIGHBOR NETWORK ADVERTISEMENT - A method and apparatus for enabling a network to provide information associated with neighboring network(s) of different access technologies to the wireless device, prior to the wireless device determining the need for a handover. When a determination is made by the network that a handover to a new access network is required, the network may send a message to the wireless device that commands the wireless device to leave a currently used access network. Alternatively, the network may send a message to the wireless device that guides or obligates the wireless device to select one of the access networks in the list, provided by the network, in case the wireless device chooses to make a handover. Upon receipt of a command message, the wireless device leaves a currently used access network either immediately or a reasonable time after having set up a connection to a new access network for ensuring smooth handover. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100159934 | CONTROLLING HANDOVER - A method for controlling a handover and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus includes an interface to communicate with mobile units and a processing unit to determine a need for a mobile unit having more than one ongoing service connection to execute a handover and to send a handover command to the mobile unit through the interface, the handover command instructing the mobile unit to handover part of the ongoing service connections to a new network. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110072101 | NETWORK DISCOVERY AND SELECTION - Network discovery comprises discovering networks being available for a device and automatically providing communication settings for at least one of discovered networks to the device. The network discovery may be device initiated or network-initiated. The communication settings provision may be effected by network discovery functionality or another functionality such as device management functionality. | 03-24-2011 |
| 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 |
| 20110194493 | Method for Transferring a Base Station of a Wireless Communication Network from a Standby Mode to a Fully Activated Mode - It is described a method for transferring a base station of a wireless communication network from a standby mode to a fully activated mode. The method includes sending an activation signal from a user equipment (UE) to the base station. The method further includes receiving the activation signal by the base station and transferring the base station (BS | 08-11-2011 |
