20150208225 | Methods, Computer Program Products and Apparatuses Enabling to Improve Network Controlled Discovery in Mobile Communication Networks - A network entity, interfaces with at least one other apparatus. The network entity receives a plurality of reports from respective terminals, each report being indicative of a detection of at least one particular apparatus of a specific type by the respective terminal, and analyzes the plurality of reports in terms of which. The network entity determines that terminals, the reports of which are indicative of the same particular apparatus of the specific type, are in proximity to each other, and causes transmission of a corresponding proximity indication to each terminal for which a proximity to one or more other terminals was determined. Similarly, corresponding proximity discovery agent entities, i.e. apparatus of the specific type, corresponding terminal apparatuses and related methods as well as computer program products are envisaged. | 07-23-2015 |
20150223106 | Handling Radio Link Failure - This document discloses transmission of a radio link failure control message in a situation where a control plane connection is established directly between a first access point of a cellular communication system and a terminal device of the cellular communication system and, additionally, a user plane connection is established between the first access point and the terminal device through a second access point. The radio link failure control message is transferred over the user plane connection during the radio link failure or proactively in an attempt to prevent the radio link failure. | 08-06-2015 |
20150281940 | LOCATION REGISTRATION FOR A DEVICE-TO-DEVICE D2D COMMUNICATION USER EQUIPMENT BEING IN IDLE MODE MOBILITY MANAGEMENT - The invention relates to device-to-device (D2D) communications an in particular to location registration of a D2D User Equipment (UE) being in idle mode. A D2D capable UE (D2D cluster head) is [1] configured to communicate with a communication network, is [2] able to establish D2D communication with another D2D capable UE, receives [3] from the communication system a configuration so as to send location update related messaging on behalf of UEs with which D2D communications has been established, obtains [4] information of a change of status of a UE regarding a D2D communication or a change of cell of a UE and in response to the information, causes [5] the sending of a message to the communication network, the message comprising a location update request regarding the UE. | 10-01-2015 |
20150289125 | Discovery of Proximity Services in Cellular System - This document discloses a solution for employing proximity discovery devices to carry out discovery of terminal devices registered to proximity services. The proximity discovery device is provided with an identifier that is unique for the discovery procedure, and the proximity discovery device transmits its unique identifier in a discovery signal. Terminal devices registered to the proximity services and detecting the discovery signal indicate their presence to the proximity discovery devices. The proximity discovery device then creates a discovery reports on the basis of the contact(s) from the terminal device(s) and transmits the discovery report to a network element of a cellular communication system managing the proximity services. | 10-08-2015 |
20150304902 | Configuration of Handovers in Communication Systems - Apparatus and method for communication are provided. The solution includes obtaining information of handovers to be performed regarding more than one user equipment connected to the apparatus; requesting the user equipment to form one or more device-to-device clusters; and controlling handovers to be performed utilising information on the formed device-to-device clusters. | 10-22-2015 |
20150327241 | DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION - There is provided an improved solution for performing beacon broadcasting in a device-to-device communication network. The solution comprises selecting, by a node capable of entering a device-to-device communication network, a channel for broadcasting wherein the selection is based on at least one of the following: the characteristics of the node and the state of the node; and causing a broadcast of information related to at least part of the properties of the node on the selected channel. | 11-12-2015 |
20150334754 | METHOD AND NETWORK ELEMENT FOR CONTROLLING UE'S STATE TRANSITION IN PROXIMITY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - Disclosed are methods and apparatus for controlling state transition of a user equipment UE in proximity wireless communication. A method can comprise: learning about an associated agent's context of a connected UE and said UE's capability; deciding to put the connected UE into virtual associated state; sending to said UE a message with indication of putting said UE into said virtual associated state as well as the UE's context; and maintaining said associated agent's context of the UE. | 11-19-2015 |
20150365860 | Handover of a User Equipment Having Offloaded User Data Traffic Between Two Small Cells Controlled by Different Macro Cells - To reduce handover latency experienced by a user using a user equipment that is served for offloaded user data traffic by a first small cell, a handover between a first macro cell deploying the first small cell and a second macro cell deploying a second small cell is triggered when information indicating that the user equipment has associated with the second small cell not deployed by the first macro cell is received. | 12-17-2015 |
