    Abstract: In the context of a radio communications system that includes a core network coupled to a radio access network (RAN) and a plurality of mobile terminals, a connection may be established between the core network and one of the plurality of mobile terminals through the radio access network. A temporary RAN identifier is associated with the mobile terminal for the established connection. The temporary RAN identifier is used to assist in the transfer o f information pertaining to the established connection or to the establishment of that connection through the radio access network. The radio access networ k includes a first RAN node associated with a first geographical coverage area and a second RAN node associated with a second geographical coverage area. When the mobile terminal moves from the first coverage area to the second coverage area, the connection is re-established through the RAN by way of th e first and second RAN nodes using the temporary RAN identifier. The temporary RAN identifier in packets corresponding to the established connection is use d to direct those packets to and from the first and second RAN nodes. The firs t and second RAN nodes analyze packets corresponding to the established connection including the temporary RAN identifier included in each packet. From analysis of the temporary RAN identifier, the first and second RAN node s determine where packets are to be routed. The temporary RAN identifier is al so advantageously employed to facilitate mobile terminal registration and pagin g operations.

    Abstract: A sleep cycle of a mobile station may be optimally varied depending upon one or more conditions relating to the mobile station's operation. Based on one or more of those conditions, a variable wake up parameter is determined and used to establish times when the mobile station automatically leaves a lower power mode and enters a higher power mode to listen for a page. The mobile station's variable wake up parameter is provided to a radio access network and to one or more core networks to permit coordination of communications and services with the mobile station.

    Abstract: In a communications system, communications resources are allocated in a dynamic, "as needed" fashion. No explicit signaling is needed to exchange information pertaining specifically to an allocated communications resource. Instead, resources are implicitly allocated by using one or more parameters known to both the radio access network and mobile station that are more or less unique to the mobile station. Such parameters are used to generate or address a communications resource for use by the mobile station. The parameters might, for example, be information readily acquired or communicated as a result of a synchronization procedure, a mobile station registration procedure, a mobile station access procedure, a paging procedure, etc. Example parameters may include a system frame number, a system identification, a radio access network identification, a base station identification, a cell identification, a mobile station-associated signature, an access reference number corresponding to the mobile station, a time instant when an acknowledgment message is received, etc.

    Abstract: The present invention provides flexible radio access and resource allocation in a Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS). A UMTS Terrestrial access network (UTRAN) in response to a radio access bearer service request, flexib ly and efficiently allocates resources necessary to support a communication wit h a mobile radio. The UTRAN includes plural base stations for communicating wi th mobile radios over a radio/air interface using radio channel resources allocated by a radio network controller connected to the base stations. External network service nodes interfacing with external networks communicat e with the UTRAN over a radio access network interface. The UTRAN provides a radio acccess bearer service to the external network service nodes, and radi o access bearers are dynamically assigned to radio channel resources by the UTRAN. When establishing each bearer, the UTRAN flexibly maps or allocates t he radio access bearer to physical transport resources through the UTRAN and radio channel resources over the radio/air interface. In an example embodiment, the transport between nodes and the UTRAN includes an ATM connection, and a radio channel over the air interface includes one or more CDMA spreading codes. The mapping is based on one or more parameters includi ng for example one or more quality of service parameters and/or current traffic conditions. In addition, if the one or more parameters changes during the li fe of the connection, the connection may be switched to a more appropriate channel type.

    Abstract: A DS-CDMA cellular system is provided that employs two forward link transmission modes in parallel. A conventional transmission mode broadcasts a pilot channel that can be used by a conventional mobile station to estimate and detect a dedicated traffic channel. The second transmission mode transmits (via a sectorized or narrow lobe antenna system) all information required by a new generation mobile station to estimate and detect a traffic channel dedicated to that mobile station. Consequently, DS-CDMA system operators can introduce the use of adaptive array antenna systems or distributed antenna systems with new generation mobile stations, without terminating the use of the conventional mobile stations.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to provisioning of IMS parameters in an automated fashion. This is according to the present invention achieved by introducing a provisioning server providing an application, to be used on a user terminal, IMS parameters such that the application on the user terminal can utilize IMS services even if the user terminal is non-IMS capable or if the operator of the user has not deployed IMS. The provisioning of the IMS parameters may be triggered by a downloading of said application on the user terminal. Further, the application on the user terminal is configured with an address to the provisioning server in order to be able to send the request to the provisioning server.

    Abstract: A radio access network portion of a telecommunications network (18) which serves a mobile station (MS) is connecting to a core network. The radio access network portion has plural base stations (BS) serving respective plural cells (C), as well as plural control nodes (RNCs). The control nodes include a first control node (RNC1) for controlling a first group of the plural base stations and a second control node (RNC2) for controlling a second group of the plural base stations. A multicell area (MCA) includes cells served by at least some of the first group of base stations and cells served by at least some of the second group of base stations. The radio access network portion of a telecommunications network further has a paging control node which stores information regarding the multicell area. To page the mobile station in the multicell area, the paging control node (1) sends paging messages to each of the base stations serving the multicell area controlled by the paging control node; and (2) sends a paging message to any other control nodes which control base stations serving cells in the multicell area. The paging control node determines to which base stations and other control node(s) it should send paging messages by consulting a paging table (100). Perferably the paging control node is one of the control nodes of radio access notwork. The paging control node is connected to the other control node(s) by an intercontrol node link (32) over which the paging message is sent.
