Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a cellular telecommunications network. If determining that a first cell of a base station is about to reboot, performing a handover of one or more User Equipments from that cell to a second cell. After the reboot, the user equipment may be handed back to the rebooted cell.
If both cells are to reboot, a determination is made to identify which cell's reboot operation is to be prioritized, a handover of the user equipment attached to the prioritized cell to the other cell is made, the prioritized cell is rebooted, all the user equipments are handed over from the non-prioritized cell to the (now rebooted) prioritized cell, the non-prioritized cell is rebooted and the user equipment that was initially attached to the non-prioritized cell is handed over from the prioritized cell back to the now rebooted non-prioritized cell.-

Abstract: The disclosure includes a method in a cellular communications network, and a User Equipment, basestation and network management entity for implementing the method, the method including a first basestation transmitting a first message including a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) identifier; determining, for a User Equipment (UE) whether the CSG identifier is present on a first allowed CSG list; determining the allowed service level for the UE, the allowed service level indicating one of at least a first and second allowed service level; and connecting the UE to the first basestation if the CSG identifier is present on the first allowed CSG list, wherein the Quality of Service (QoS) for the UE is dependent on the allowed service level.

Abstract: A base station for a mobile communications network is disclosed, in which the base station includes a plurality of transmitters, in which each transmitter is configured to provide transmit radio signals to a plurality of mobile terminals; and a plurality of receivers, in which each receiver is configured to detect receive radio signals from the plurality of mobile terminals. The base station also includes a processor configured to interrogate each of the plurality of the mobile terminals for an indication of signal quality of a signal received by the mobile terminal; and to assign each of the plurality of the mobile terminals to one of two groups based on the received indications of signal quality. The mobile terminals assigned to the first group are those that indicate relatively low signal quality and the mobile terminals assigned to the second group are those that indicate relatively high signal quality. The plurality of transmitters are configured to communicate with at least some of the mobile terminals in the first group over unicast and to communicate with the mobile terminals in the second group over multicast.

Abstract: A method of operating a mobile communications network including a plurality of base stations and a base station for a mobile communications network, wherein the base station includes a plurality of transmitters, a plurality of receivers and a processor, is disclosed. Each transmitter is configured to transmit radio signals to a plurality of mobile terminals. Each receiver is configured to receive radio signals from a plurality of mobile terminals. The processor is configured to serve a mobile terminal via the transmitter over multicast/broadcast across a radio link; receive information from the mobile terminal being served by the transmitter, in which the information derives from signal quality of a multicast/broadcast serving signal received at the mobile terminal from the transmitter; and provide to the mobile terminal first instructions based on a first comparison of the quality of the multicast/broadcast serving signal received at the mobile terminal. The comparison is based on a first threshold; in which the first instructions instruct the mobile terminal to switch to unicast; and in which the processor is further configured to vary the first threshold in dependence on a measure of loading of the network.
