摘要:
A base station (510), a local server (520), a user equipment (500) and Internet server (540) of a wireless communication network and respective methods therein are provided for enabling provision of an Internet based service to a user equipment, the base station being associated with the local server, which is capable of delivering the Internet based service. A user equipment requesting an Internet based service is requested by the Internet server to discover if the base station is associated with a local server capable of providing the Internet based service to the user equipment. If the user equipment discovers a local server, associated with the base station, capable of providing the Internet based service, the user equipment requests the Internet based service from the local server, via the base station.

Embodiments herein relates to a radio network node (12) for controlling a handover process of a user equipment (10) from a first cell (11) to a second cell (14). The user equipment (10) is served in the first cell configured to be controlled by the radio network node. The radio network node comprises an operating circuit configured to operate according to a handover process, which handover process is triggered by a first trigger parameter when a connection to the user equipment is active, and by a second trigger parameter when the connection to the user equipment is inactive.
摘要:
A user equipment performs downlink measurement on neighbour cells, but the measurement performance on a target cell (in terms of measurement period/sampling/accuracy etc) is dependent on the relative performance difference between the target cell and a reference cell. The reference cell may be the serving cell, or may be the strongest cell. The network is thus able to keep track of the required number of target cells without degrading the measurement performance of important cells. The UE on the other hand is still able to save its battery as much as possible while making full use of DRX.

The present invention relates to methods and devices for mobility management in a cellular communications system. A user equipment maintains (21) at least two sets of mobility trigger parameters. Each set of mobility trigger parameters corresponds to a predetermined user equipment speed range. The user equipment determines (22) a speed range that the speed of the user equipment falls into and selects (23), based on the determined speed range, at least one set of mobility trigger parameters to be used for performing mobility-based decisions. If the user equipment is in connected mode a network base station may select a set of mobility trigger parameters to be used for performing handover decisions based on a determined speed range of the user equipment. Advantages are that ping-pong mobility decisions may be avoided and it is sufficient to determine a range for the UE speed, which is less complicated than determining an accurate speed of the UE particularly in idle mode.
摘要:
In a radio communication network there are a number of radio base stations, at least one of which belongs to a first radio access network and manages at least one active cell serving user equipment. It is determined whether a passive other cell of a radio base station belonging to a second overlapping radio access network should be activated based on information representative of radio access preferences of the user equipment (S1). When it is determined that the passive other cell should be activated, the passive cell is requested to be activated by causing the corresponding radio base station belonging to the second overlapping radio access network to start transmission of cell-defining information (S2).

A relay node (110) for a radio access network (100), arranged to be a relay node between one or more User Equipments (105) in a cell (125) of the radio access network and a base station (115) serving the cell. The relay node (110) is arranged to identify itself as a relay node in the cell (125) in the radio access network (100), and is also arranged to receive a non-support indication indicating that the base station serving the cell (125) is unable to support a relay node. The relay node (110) is arranged to, upon receiving said non-support indication, attempt to establish itself as a relay node in another cell.

A controlling node for a cellular communications system, arranged to handle the control of one or more user terminals in a first cell and configurable to receive transmissions from one or more user terminals in the first cell, with a defined periodicity. The controlling node includes a receipt monitor for one or more users in the cell, the receipt monitor being arranged to monitor timely receipt of the one or more of the certain transmissions from the one or more user terminals at the expected time for the defined periodicity, and to initiate handover of a user terminal from the first cell to another cell if the controlling node does not receive one or more of the certain transmissions at the expected time for the defined periodicity from the user terminal.
摘要:
A wireless terminal (30) capable of operating in a discontinuous mode comprising and method for operating such wireless terminal (30) facilitate measurements pertaining to position of the wireless terminal (30). The method includes receiving a message from the radio access network (28). The measurement request message is configured to indicate that measurements are to be performed by the wireless terminal on downlink signals transmitted by the base station or by the base station on downlink signals transmitted by the base station. The method further comprises, as a result of or after receiving the message, changing operation of the wireless terminal (30) from a discontinuous mode to a modified mode to facilitate performance of the measurements. Relative to the discontinuous mode at least one of following are shortened or eliminated in the modified mode: (i) the non-reception periods, and (ii) the non-transmission periods. “Changing from a discontinuous mode . . . to a modified mode” includes one or more of: (1) changing mode of the wireless terminal (e.g., changing from a discontinuous mode [such as discontinuous reception (DRX) or discontinuous transmission (DTX)] to a continuous transmission mode); (2) changing from the discontinuous mode (a first discontinuous mode) to a modified discontinuous mode (a second discontinuous mode).
摘要:
A method of decreasing radio link failure in challenging mobility scenarios for a user equipment (UE), device working in a cellular telecommunication network with a base station of each cell is disclosed. The method comprises measuring signal conditions for serving cell and neighbouring cells periodically; and estimating channel variations and comparing the estimate with a threshold value such that, when channel variations are determined to exceed a channel variations threshold, performing an accelerated procedure comprising predicting whether handover is likely to occur in connection with the next scheduled measurement instant based on the signal measurements such that when handover is predicted, the procedure directly proceeds with sending an initial measurement report transmission request. Thereby handover delay can be reduced such that risk of radio link failure is reduced at significantly varying signal conditions. A UE device and a computer program are also disclosed.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for handling a handover in a more efficient way. The invention relates to a method in a mobility controller (180) in a radio access network for preparing a handover. The method comprises the following steps to be taken during data transmission between a mobile terminal (140) and a source base station (120), before the handover: Sending a request to a candidate base station (122), which request aims at measuring and reporting timing alignment to be used by the mobile terminal (140) when communicating with the destination base station (122) after the handover, if the candidate base station becomes the destination base station (122) after the handover; receiving a report from the destination base station (122) comprising said requested timing alignment; and when the destination base station (122) is selected among the at least one candidate base stations, sending a message to the mobile terminal (140) to use said timing alignment received from the destination base station (122) when communicating with the destination base station (122) after the handover.
