A method for managing a Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything, C-V2X, connection comprising: establishing a first C-V2X connection between a first Radio Base Station, RBS, of a source Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN, and an electronic On-Board Unit, OBU, of a vehicle; establishing a second C-V2X connection between said first RBS and a first Road Side Unit Gateway, RSUG,; establishing a point-to-point connection between said first RSUG and said OBU, wherein, over said point-to-point connection, User Plane data are exchanged, which are the same User Plane data exchanged over said second C-V2X connection; at a first Application Server, AppServ, of said source PLMN, receiving from a second AppServ, of a target PLMN, a request signal, including a request for C-V2X context information, said C-V2X context information comprising a context of said OBU related to the C-V2X service provisioned over said second C-V2X connection; sending, from said first AppServ, to said second AppServ, said C-V2X context information.

Method for managing a C-V2X connection in an inter-PLMN scenario, and telecommunications system operating according to said method

A system includes at least one mobile communication network for granting user equipment (UE) subscribed to the network a corresponding data quota comprising a corresponding amount of mobile data the UE can exchange with the network it is subscribed to. The system further includes a broker platform for making available for at least one mobile communication network a corresponding set of further data quotas, the broker platform further receiving a data amount request of a corresponding additional data quota for a UE subscribed to a corresponding network. In response to the received data amount request, the broker platform selects a further data quota from the set of further data quotas corresponding to the network the UE is subscribed to, and provides the additional data quota to the UE through the network the UE is subscribed to by exploiting at least a part of the selected further additional data quota.

Mobile data quota managing system and method

A mobile network includes a base station having a central unit and a remote unit. The remote unit includes data buffers, each one associated with a respective user equipment for temporarily storing data to be transmitted thereto. For each selected user equipment, a method includes determining a status of the data buffer associated with the selected user equipment, and determining an average data traffic that the selected user equipment is able to receive. According to the status of the remote unit data buffer and to the average data traffic, a data throughput is determined with which the central unit can transmit the data for the selected user equipment to the data buffer associated with the selected user equipment. The method also causes the central unit to transmit the data for the selected user equipment to the data buffer associated thereto according to the determined data throughput.
