Abstract: A mobile device capable of connecting to a voice service using Voice over LTE (VoLTE) via a cellular network and Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) via a wireless local area network is connected to VoWiFi and arranged to receive notifications from a wireless access point when the voice service via VoWiFi is disrupted and to disconnect from VoWiFi and connect to VoLTE to maintain the voice service. The mobile device is operable to test the connection to the cellular network and if the cellular network connection is insufficient to support VoLTE, the mobile device ignored the notification and remains connected to VoWiFi.

Abstract: In a cellular communications network having a radio access network of macrocells and small cells. A mobile device having a UICC/SIM card is configured to change its displayed network name and functionality in accordance with whether the mobile device has connected to a macrocell or a small cell. The displayed network name information is modified to inform the user about new services or data usage restrictions.

Abstract: In a cellular communications network, user equipment connected to a base station, the active mode handover behavior of the base station for selecting handover targets is set to be different from idle mode reselection. The MME provides its eNodeBs with supplemental information about other PLMNs which can be considered for handover in accordance with dynamic criteria such as the time, location, subscriber group, etc to allow dynamic handover to other PLMNs in accordance with the commercial agreements.

Abstract: A method of authenticating User Equipment (UE) to a wireless telecommunications network, wherein the UE is subscribed to a first wireless telecommunications network, and authenticating being performed so as to subscribe the UE to a second wireless telecommunications network, and wherein there is an absence of a roaming capability between the first wireless telecommunications network and the second wireless telecommunications network for the UE, the method including generating, at the first wireless telecommunications network, a network key for authenticating the UE at the second wireless telecommunications network; loading the generated network key to the second wireless telecommunications network; subsequently communicating the generated network key to the UE from the first wireless telecommunications network; and authenticating the UE at the second wireless telecommunications network by communicating the network key from the UE to the second wireless telecommunications network, thereby to permit the UE to subscribe to the second wireless telecommunications network.

Abstract: A method of managing a telecommunications network (100), the telecommunications network having a first user (110-1) and a second user (110-2), and the telecommunications network comprising a first network slice onto which the first user is allocated, the method comprising the step of: measuring network performance in respect of the first user and in respect of the second user; comparing network performance associated with the first user and the second user; identifying whether there is a disparity between the network performance associated with the first user and the second user that exceeds a threshold; and if it is identified that the disparity exceeds the threshold, adapting the network configuration of the first network slice so as reduce the disparity in the network performance associated with the first user and the second user.

Abstract: A method of managing network traffic in a telecommunications network, the telecommunications network having a plurality of network slices and a User Equipment (UE), wherein the UE is allocated to a first network slice for processing a network communication from the UE, the method comprising the steps of: monitoring a suitability of the first network slice to process the network communication; identifying a second network slice that is suitable for processing the network communication; and in response to identifying a lack of suitability of the first network slice to process the network communication, redirecting the network communication to the second network slice whilst the UE remains registered with the first network slice.

Abstract: A method of establishing bearers for a device in a wireless communication network, including collecting for the device data over a period of time from communication sessions the device participates in, at least some of the communication sessions being supported by a default bearer and a dedicated bearer; calculating from the collected data a likelihood a dedicated bearer will be established for the device at one or more different times values, and predicting the dedicated bearer will be established for the device at a time value if the likelihood of establishment at that time value exceeds a specified threshold; and initiating establishment of the dedicated bearer to establish the dedicated bearer for the predicted time value.
