The invention relates a method and system for assessing coverage of a wireless access network within a desired area via cooperating wireless access networks and terminals capable of measurement and reporting across the different wireless access networks. The cooperation refers to, among other things, the ability of obtaining coverage assessment for one of the wireless access networks using results of the measurements collected at one of the other wireless access networks. In this manner, more accurate and complete coverage assessment may be obtained, relative to the prior art approaches.

Method and system for automatic coverage assessment for cooperating wireless access networks

The invention relates to a telecommunications system comprising at least a plurality of SA-cells. The invention provides a method for a terminal to facilitate establishment of a data connection between the terminal and at least one of the SA-cells. The method includes steps of, while the terminal is in an idle mode, the terminal transmitting an information request message (IRM) for the plurality of SA-cells and receiving, from each SA-cell of one or more SA-cells of the plurality of SA-cells, a message comprising at least information indicative of a strength with which the each SA-cell received the IRM. The method further includes the step of, at least partially based on the messages received from the one or more SA-cells, the terminal selecting an SA-cell of the plurality of SA-cells for establishing the data connection between the terminal and the selected SA-cell.

Session setup in an energy-efficient cellular wireless telecommunications system

A method for allocating radio resources for a D2D communication between a first device and a second device is disclosed. The method includes identifying device(s) relevant for the D2D communication between the first and second devices, obtaining location information for the identified device(s), determining a value of a distance parameter for each of the identified devices using the location information obtained for the device and one or both of location information for the first device and location information for the second device, and allocating one or more radio resources for the D2D communication between the first device and the second device based on the determined value of the distance parameter.

Interference avoidance in D2D communications

The invention relates to a system and method for updating a neighbour cell list of a wireless access node. User terminals to be to be transferred from a first wireless access node of a first wireless access network to a second wireless access node of a second wireless access network are detected. From the first wireless access node, one or more of the detected user terminals are requested to report cell information of a plurality of wireless access nodes of at least one of the first wireless access network and the second wireless access network. The cell information is received from the one or more of the detected user terminals and at least one of the first neighbour cell list and the second neighbour cell list is updated using the received cell information.
