20090046660 | Handover method and apparatus in a wireless telecommunications network - According to an aspect of the invention, a method for handover of a mobile terminal from a source node to a target node in a wireless telecommunications network includes the steps of making data forwarding of fresh data optional irrespective of the RLC mode, which may involve RLC-UM or RLC-AM bearers. | 02-19-2009 |
20090046661 | Handover method and apparatus in a wireless telecommunications network - In handover in a wireless telecommunications network, dummy packets, or data packets with a last used sequence number indicator are transmitted from a source node eNB | 02-19-2009 |
20090047965 | Handover method and apparatus in a wireless telecommunications network - A method for handover of a mobile terminal from a source node to a target node in a wireless telecommunications network, including the steps of: adding an indication in the preparation phase by which source node indicates to the target node if it is the one preferred or not. If a target node is not the one preferred but is still selected by the UE, it may indicate this to the source node as by a specific new message that comes earlier in the handover process than a message requesting the source node to release resources following successful handover to a new node. The source node can then in this case cancel handover preparations to other target nodes earlier and also start data forwarding where applicable earlier. | 02-19-2009 |
20100271979 | Methods To Facilitate Automatic System Configuration - An Evolved Packet Core/Mobility Management Entity (EPC/MME) and evolved Node B (eNB) automatically provide a list of key capabilities or features they each support as soon as possible via their shared interface. Therefore, the MME and eNB are each aware of the supported features of the other and what corresponding procedures each can trigger during normal operation. By extension, the approach involves a similar mechanism between peer eNBs over their shared interface. Thus, key capabilities or features supported by the MMEs and/or eNBs are shared to enhance interoperation. | 10-28-2010 |
20110165902 | METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING INFORMATION BETWEEN NETWORKS OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY TYPES - In a method for transferring information between wireless networks of different technology types, a node in the first network receives configuration information associated with a plurality of nodes of the second network, the information including identifying information for radio access controllers associated with neighboring cells of the second technology type. After it has received the configuration information, the node in the first network sends the identifying information to a plurality of access nodes in the first network via which mobile devices access the first network. The invention is particularly, but not exclusively, applicable where the first network is in accordance with LTE and the second one with UMTS, and the information includes RNC-ids for use in handover from the LTE to the UMTS network. | 07-07-2011 |
20110199937 | METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A WIRELESS NETWORK - A method for configuring a wireless network having a plurality of nodes to which a mobile device attaches to access the network, a plurality of gateways (GTW) and a mobile management entity (MME), includes the steps of: each GTW providing to the MME a code giving its identity and information identifying the nodes that the respective GTW serves; and the MME sending the code and information identifying the nodes that the respective GTW serves to nodes of the network at which the code and information is stored. The plurality of nodes may include home nodes. The network may be, for example, an LTE network. | 08-18-2011 |
20130040625 | NETWORK NODE CONTROL - Methods of controlling a network node, network nodes and a computer program product are disclosed. A method of controlling a network node, comprises the steps upon determining a proposed change to characteristics of said network node, providing a first indication of said proposed change to other network nodes within a predefined network node cluster of which said network node is a member; in the absence of a second indication from said other network nodes within said network node cluster rejecting said proposed change to said characteristics of said network node, making said proposed change to said characteristics of said network node. | 02-14-2013 |
20130137434 | SELF-CONFIGURATION OF DONOR/RELAY NODE RELATIONSHIP - The present invention relates to a method for transferring RAN configuration data between radio access nodes. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the method comprises the steps of, by a mobility management node (MMEA): receiving a first RAN configuration transfer message ( | 05-30-2013 |
20130143582 | TRANSMITTING RADIO CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS FROM A BASE STATION TO A RELAY NODE - The invention relates to a method of transmitting radio configuration parameters from a base station ( | 06-06-2013 |
20130188605 | DE-ACTIVATION OF DATA BEARER CONNECTIONS UPON OUTGOING HANDOVER FROM A HOME CELL - The present invention relates to a home arrangement ( | 07-25-2013 |
20140022976 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING MBMS COMMUNICATIONS AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING MBMSS - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for performing MBMS service communications and a method and apparatus for receiving an MBMS service. Specifically, there is provided a method for performing MBMS service communications, comprising acquiring location area information of an MBMS service distribution; and notifying a UE of the location area information of the MBMS service distribution. Further, there is provided a method for receiving an MBMS service, comprising receiving location area information of an MBMS service distribution; comparing location information of a UE with the location area information of the MBMS service distribution; and determining whether to read an MCCH and MCCH information change notification based on a comparison result. | 01-23-2014 |
