20140204908 | METHODS OF AND NODES FOR SELECTING A TARGET CORE NETWORK FOR HANDING OVER A VOICE SESSION OF A TERMINAL - A method of selecting a target core network of a communication network for handing over a voice session of a terminal from a packet switched source radio access network (RAN) to a target RAN. The voice session is anchored in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem, and the selected target core network includes a circuit switched domain which is associated with the target RAN and supports voice session continuity to hand over the voice session from the source RAN to the target RAN. The target RAN is associated with a network identification of the target core network. The method is executed by a node and includes receiving a network identification of at least one target core network associated with at least one target RAN. The target core network is selected based on an indicated support of voice session continuity by the network identification. | 07-24-2014 |
20150078301 | Methods, Devices, and Computer Program Products For Facilitating Device-to-Device Communication Among Wireless Communication Devices - A method, device, and computer program product for facilitating device-to-device, D2D, communication among wireless communication devices, WCDs, is provided. The device is a first WCD that receives a wireless packet broadcasted by a second WCD. The wireless packet has one or more of i) a group identifier that identifies a group to which the second WCD belongs and ii) an application identifier that identifies an application which generated at least part of the wireless packet. The first WCD extracts from the wireless packet one or more of the group identifier and the application identifier. The first WCD determines whether to discard the wireless packet based on the one or more of the group identifier and the application identifier extracted from the wireless packet. | 03-19-2015 |
20150373590 | A Node and Method For a Combined Single Radio Voice Call Continuity and a Packet Switched Handover - Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a base station, user equipment and Mobility Management Entity, and corresponding methods, for providing handling during a combined Single Radio Voice Call Continuity and Packet Switched Handover procedure. | 12-24-2015 |
20150382289 | Obtaining Authorization to Use Proximity Services in a Mobile Communication System - The present invention relates to mobile communication systems, and more particularly to technology that enables a User Equipment (UE) to obtain authorization to use Proximity-based Services. | 12-31-2015 |
20160088545 | A NODE AND METHOD FOR SMALL DATA COMMUNICATIONS - Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a mobility management node (e.g., MME, SGSN or S4-SGSN), and corresponding methods therein, for managing at least one communications functionality of a device configured for small data communications. Such management may lead to a restriction on services or functions available to the device, thereby avoiding unnecessary utilization of network resources. | 03-24-2016 |
20160088664 | A Node and Method For Establishing Direct Communications - Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards providing direct communications between a mobility management node (e.g., SGSN, S4-SGSN or MME) and an MTC-IWF node via a T5 interface. With the use of the direct communications unnecessary queries to a HSS or HLR may be avoided. The direct communications are established by the mobility management node and the MTC-IWF node saving identifying information of the other node. | 03-24-2016 |
20160119769 | PROXIMITY SERVICE - The embodiments herein relate to a method in a first wireless device for enabling ProSe communication in a communications network. The first wireless device is in proximity of a second wireless device. The first wireless device, using at least one of an Application ID, ProSe ID, Application User ID and expression code, enables the first wireless device to discover the second wireless device and to be discoverable by the second wireless device. The first wireless device communicates directly with the second wireless device using a direct ProSe link. | 04-28-2016 |
