Abstract:
There is provided a method for controlling different parts of a terminal that are able to communicate over at least a first radio access technology protocol and a second radio access technology protocol, where said first and second radio access technology protocols are different and wherein said method includes the steps of detecting (1301) in logical parts that operate a first radio access technology protocol that at least parts of a second radio access technology protocol should be activated or deactivated; transmitting (1303) an indication from logical parts that operates a first radio access technology protocol to logical parts that operates a second radio access technology protocol where said indication is an input to said logical parts that operate the second radio access technology protocol to activate or deactivate parts of second radio access technology protocol.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for providing broadband access to a Packet Data Network (PDN) from a WLAN. A network node receives a request for a dedicated bearer from a PDN gateway, along with one or more Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Responsive to the bearer request, the network node sends a request to an access point in the WLAN for load information indicative of a load of the access point, and receives the requested load information. Based on the load information, the network node determines whether the access point would be able to meet the one or more QoS requirements if the bearer request was granted. If the determining indicates that the access point would be able to meet the one or more QoS requirements, the network node creates the dedicated bearer between the wireless terminal and the PDN gateway according to the one or more Qo S requirements.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a network-instructed handover of a wireless device from a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to a Radio Access Network (RAN) of another Radio Access Technology (RAT), e.g., a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) or 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) RAT. In one embodiment, a WLAN access node determines that a handover of a wireless device from the WLAN to another RAN of a different RAT is to be performed and transmits a handover instruction to the wireless device that instructs the wireless device to perform a handover from the WLAN to a RAN of a different RAT. In this manner, the WLAN access node is able to steer the wireless device from the WLAN to a RAN of a different RAT.
Abstract:
Techniques for enhancing performance in Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) scenarios, including techniques for time-sensitive networking (TSN) and 5G wireless network integration. An example method, performed by a wireless device, comprises receiving system information (SI) from a radio base station (RBS) of a radio access network (RAN), the SI being indicative of support for TSN through the RBS, and establishing at least one TSN stream with an external data network, through the RBS. The example method further includes receiving a first timing signal from the wireless communications network, via the RBS, receiving a second timing signal from the external TSN data network to which the wireless device is connected, comparing the first timing signal to the second timing signal to determine an offset, and transmitting the offset to the wireless communications network.
Abstract:
Una red puede manejar los intentos de acceso por una mezcla de equipos de usuario (UEs) que soportan y no múltiples conexiones de red de paquetes de datos y soportan o no la versión 6 de Protocolo de Internet (IPv6) y los intentos de acceso a las redes que soportan o no múltiples conexiones de PDN. Un método para operar una red de Acceso Confiable que No es 3GPP implica una proxy de autenticación, autorización y contabilidad (AAA) en el 3GPP para rio acceder a la red confiable y un UE que soporta múltiples conexiones PDN, con la proxy AAA enviando una indicación del UE de que la red soporta múltiples conexiones de PDN.
Abstract:
A method is provided for deploying a policy from a 3GPP core network to a non-3GPP access network. The policy relates to a connection established from a mobile terminal to the 3GPP core network via the non-3GPP access network. A local IP address is received (S1) at the 3GPP core network, the local IP address having been acquired by the mobile terminal during establishment of the connection. At the 3GPP core network, establishment of a policy control session is initiated (S3) from the 3GPP core network to the non-3GPP access network. The received local IP address is used to determine (S2a) or to enable determination of (S2b) the non-3GPP access network used for the connection with reference to shared I P addressing information. The shared IP addressing information sets out different respective ranges of local IP addresses assigned to a plurality of such non-3GPP access networks. At the 3GPP core network, the policy is provided (S4) to the non-3GPP access network using the policy control session established as a result of the policy control session initiation step. The policy is for deployment in the non-3GPP access network in relation to the established connection. A method is also provided for use at the non-3GPP access network.
