An exemplary technique is provided for an initial personalization of a smart card coupled with a communication device of a user. The smart card is configured to send a first request to a home location register that authenticates the user by means of a temporary international identity and a temporary authentication key. The smart card is configured to send a second request for smart card personalization to an application server. The smart card is configured to receive a response from the application server that contains a personalization command, an admin code, an initial international identity and an initial authentication key. The smart card is configured to interpret the personalization command to delete the temporary international identity and the temporary authentication key, and to replace them with the initial international identity and the initial authentication key when the admin code is valid.

Smart card initial personalization

A smart card associated with a subscription to a first telecommunication network and coupled with a communication is personalized by an application server. The server receives a request of subscription change having an identifier of a second telecommunication network; establishes a secured session with home location register of the second telecommunication network identified by the identifier and receives a first message having a second international identity and a second authentication key from the home location register; and then sends a second message having a personalization command, an admin code, the second international identity and the second authentication key to the communication device. The smart card is able to interpret the personalization command to delete the first international identity and the first authentication key and replace them by the second international identity and the second authentication key if the admin code is valid.

The invention concerns a method and a Femto base station for transmitting broadcast services from a radiocommunication cellular network () to a mobile terminal (), said mobile terminal () being adapted to receive said broadcast services either, in a first general mode, directly from one global base station () among a plurality of global base stations belonging to said radiocommunication cellular network (), or, in a second specific mode, through a Femto base station (). According to the invention, said method comprises the step of receiving (S) at said Femto base station () services which are broadcast by the global base station () in the coverage of which said Femto base station () is located and the step of relaying (S) the received services from said Femto base station () so that said mobile terminal () can receive the relayed services when it is in the second specific mode.

In a radio communication network access network infrastructure, comprising first and second access points into the access network infrastructure which are both capable of communicating over a radio interface with a user equipment, wherein the radio coverage of the first access point is at least partially included in the radio coverage of the second access point, and wherein the first access point is capable of operating in an operating mode wherein it does not transmit a pilot signal, the first access point synchronizes itself with the second access point during reception, and switches to the operating mode wherein it does not transmit a pilot signal.

Method for managing the operation of a radio access point of an access network infrastructure of a radio communication network

In an access network infrastructure of a cellular radio communication network, comprising a first radio access point serving at least one radio cell and capable of communicating, over a radio interface, with at least one user equipment item located within the radio coverage of at least one of the radio cells, first and second criteria for establishing a radio communication link with a radio access point are defined, with these two criteria being distinct from one another, as well as a set of user equipment associated with the first radio access point. Whenever user equipment is located within the radio coverage of at least one of the cells of the first radio access point, and the first criterion for establishing a radio communication link or the second criterion for establishing a radio communication link is applied, depending on whether or not the user equipment belongs to the set of user equipment associated with the first radio access point, for the purposes of establishing a radio communication link between the user equipment and the first radio access point whenever the applied radio communication link establishment criterion is fulfilled.

Systems and techniques for routing frames in one or more radio access networks based on a physical addressing scheme involve assigning a unique identifier to a virtual local area network that includes a path connecting an access point to a radio network serving node. For each of multiple nodes in the radio access network, the virtual local area network is associated with a port for routing frames towards the radio network serving node and/or a port for routing frames towards the access point. Frames that include a destination address associated with a mobile station associated with the access point are unicast from the radio network serving node towards the access point using the virtual local area network.
