20110212723 | METHOD FOR SUPPORTING NETWORK BASED MOBILITY FOR A MOBILE TERMINAL IN AN IMS (IP MULTIMEDIA SUBSYSTEM) ARCHITECTURE - Method for supporting network based mobility for a mobile terminal in an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) architecture, wherein the mobile terminal is connected to a femto cell or to a macro cell—source cell—and wherein handover of an actual session of the mobile terminal is performed to another femto cell or macro cell—target cell—, wherein the femto cells and the macro cells are provided with an eMSC-server (Mobile Switching Center Server enhanced for IMS Centralized Services) function, and wherein the source cell's eMSC-server function hosts a source user agent and the target cell's eMSC-server function hosts a target user agent, is characterized in that the source user agent contacts the target user agent directly or indirectly prior to executing the actual handover, and wherein the source user agent prepares the target user agent together with the corresponding access network by exchanging handover related information. | 09-01-2011 |
20110286395 | RADIO NETWORK AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING A RADIO NETWORK - A radio network allows a flexible distribution of data flows between a mobile station and a mobility anchor of the network over different interfaces. Data flows are routed between at least one mobile station and a mobility anchor of the network. The mobile station can connect to the mobility anchor using multiple network interfaces simultaneously, the radio network including an application function capable of processing and/or analyzing information about routing policies contained in a signalling received from a mobile station, which is able to push or signal the processed and/or analyzed information from the application function to an entity that can enforce routing policies to forward the data flows to one or more selected interfaces and which is able to signal routing policies received from the network to the mobile station. Further, an according method for operating a radio network, especially for routing data flows within the network, is disclosed. | 11-24-2011 |
20120303137 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING DEVICES AND/OR APPLIANCES BEING INSTALLED AND/OR IMPLEMENTED IN A USER NETWORK - A method for controlling devices and/or appliances being installed and/or implemented in a user network, includes the steps of providing a management application, and associating one or more UEs with the management application, providing location information of the associated UEs to the management application, and, based on the location information and configured policy rules, performing control actions on the devices and/or appliances. Furthermore, a corresponding system is described. | 11-29-2012 |
20130016677 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A NETWORK AND A NETWORKAANM Kunz; AndreasAACI HeddesheimAACO DEAAGP Kunz; Andreas Heddesheim DEAANM Kolbe; Hans-JoergAACI DarmstadtAACO DEAAGP Kolbe; Hans-Joerg Darmstadt DEAANM Punz; GottfriedAACI DossenheimAACO DEAAGP Punz; Gottfried Dossenheim DE - For allowing a reliable communication between the wireless part and the core network part via the fixed line network a method for operating a network, especially for policy control within the network, is provided, wherein the network includes a mobile network and a fixed line network, wherein the mobile network includes a wireless part and a core network part and wherein the mobile network and the fixed line network cooperate for providing communication between the wireless part and the core network part via the fixed line network. The method is characterized in that information regarding the wireless part will be provided via the mobile network to the fixed line network for controlling the communication within the fixed line network. Further, a corresponding network, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method is disclosed. | 01-17-2013 |
20130215864 | METHOD AND BASE STATION FOR SUPPORTING A CONNECTION BETWEEN A COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND A DESTINATION DEVICE IN A TARGET NETWORK - A method for supporting a connection between a communication device and a destination device in a target network over intermediate network nodes, in particular in the context of Internet Protocol based communication, wherein data between the communication device and the destination device is transmitted via a tunnel established between the communication device or a base station connected to the communication device, as a first tunnel endpoint and a gateway in the target network as a second tunnel endpoint. One or more dummy packets are sent via the tunnel from the first tunnel endpoint towards the second tunnel endpoint, information is encoded in the packet headers of the one or more dummy packets, and at least one of the intermediate network nodes, upon receiving the one or more dummy packets, performs the steps of detecting and/or decoding the encoded information and performing a predefined action dependent on the encoded information. | 08-22-2013 |
20130217389 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING A USER EQUIPMENT TO A NETWORK DEVICE VIA A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method for connecting a user equipment to a network device via a mobile communication network wherein the equipment includes at least a deregistered and a registered state, the deregistered state including at least a normal and an attempting-to-attach substate, for defining a connectivity state of the equipment to the mobile communication network, the equipment being connectable to the mobile communication network and the network device being connected to the mobile communication network includes:

20140247830 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING TRANSPORT OF DATA PACKETS IN A NETWORK - A method for supporting transport of data packets in a network, wherein the data packets are transmitted from a source node to a destination node by employing a tunnel from a first tunnel endpoint to a second tunnel endpoint, wherein a tunnel header is added to the data packets at the first tunnel endpoint, wherein the data packets are transmitted between the tunnel endpoints via a network domain that includes one or more intermediate nodes functioning as transport network, and wherein the intermediate nodes forward the data packets, is characterized in that the tunnel is provided in the form of a virtual tunnel by removing the tunnel header from the data packets where the data packets enter the network domain and adding back the tunnel header to the data packets where the data packets exit the network domain. A corresponding system for supporting transport of data packets is disclosed. | 09-04-2014 |
20160037571 | A METHOD AND A NETWORK STRUCTURE FOR PROVIDING DEVICE CONNECTIVITY TO A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK - A method for providing device connectivity to a radio access network, wherein at least two devices are connectable or connected to the radio access network and wherein the at least two devices are members of a group of devices within a wireless local network, the members of the group of devices having the capability to establish a direct connection with other members of the group of devices, includes providing connection information used for a connection between a first device of the at least two devices and the radio access network to a second device of the at least two devices. The connection information enables the second device to connect to the radio access network. | 02-04-2016 |
