    摘要: An infrastructure equipment forms a wireless access point of a wireless communications network and executes program code that performs a plurality of processes which form a protocol stack for providing, in combination with a radio equipment, a wireless access interface of the wireless communications network for transmitting data to or receiving data from one or more communications devices. The plurality of processes provide at least a physical, PHY, layer, a medium access control, MAC, layer, a radio link control, RLC layer, a scheduler and radio resource management for the wireless access interface which together form baseband functions. The infrastructure equipment is configured to transmit/encrypt and receive/decrypt packet data. An infrastructure equipment can be shared between two wireless communications networks, which may be controlled by different operators. One or more of the plurality of processes may also be encrypted.

    摘要: A wireless telecommunications method comprising: determining if a terminal configured to communicate with a serving node via a relay has characteristics indicating the terminal should be handed over from a source serving node to a first target serving node if the relay is handed over from the source serving node to the first target serving node; if the terminal has the characteristics, controlling the terminal to be handed over from the source serving node to the first target serving node if the relay is handed over from the source serving node to the first target serving node; and if the terminal does not have the characteristics, controlling the terminal to be handed over from the source serving node to a second, different, target serving node if the relay is handed over from the source serving node to the first target serving node.

    摘要: A method for providing service continuity in a handover of a communications device from an untrusted access point to a trusted access point in a wireless communications network includes transmitting a request to receive a service from a core network of the wireless communications network via the untrusted access point, the communications device being in an inactive state; receiving from the untrusted access point the requested service using a current communications session; determining that a handover procedure should be performed from the untrusted access point to the trusted access point; arranging for the trusted access point to receive information regarding the current communications session in advance of the handover, the information including at least an indication that the communications device is currently receiving the requested service via the untrusted access point; receiving the requested service from the core network via the trusted access point after the handover.

    摘要: A method for operating an infrastructure equipment forming part of a wireless communications network is provided. The infrastructure equipment is a non-terrestrial network part of the wireless communications network configured to transmit one or more spot beams to provide a wireless access interface for transmitting signals to and receiving signals representing data from a communications device within a coverage region of a cell or one of the spot beams, the spot beam forming a cell. The method comprises broadcasting system information for receipt by the communications device, the system information including information relating to at least one of a cell or a spot beam of a neighbouring infrastructure equipment and a second spot beam of the infrastructure equipment, wherein the system information is broadcast in accordance with at least one predetermined condition.
