Spatial information associated with a terminal connected to a network via a radio link is monitored. Depending on the spatial information and further depending on spatially-resolved quality of a data transmission, it is selected between operation of the data transmission in the first mode and in a second mode.

Spatially-resolved quality of data transmission

Providing a network service to at least one mobile terminal inside a service area, the at least one mobile terminal being arranged to communicate with a communication network, the service area being a part of a geographical area that is covered by the communication network, comprising defining, by a first grid process, a first grid with first grid lines, the first grid covering at least a part of the service area with one or more tiles framed by the first grid lines; defining, by a second grid process, a second grid with second grid lines, the second grid covering at least a part of the service area with one or more tiles framed by the second grid lines; monitoring a crossing, by the at least one mobile terminal, of a grid line; and determining whether said grid line is a first grid line or a second grid line for notifying correspondingly the first grid process and/or the second grid process.

Localized network service

A device moving in a space determines one or more zones around it, wherein the one or more zones are linked to the device and move together with the device through the space. The device detects if a border of a first of the one or more zones starts to intersect or stops to intersect with a border of an area inside the space. If the detecting is affirmative, the device transmits information related to the intersection. An apparatus receives this information from the device and adapts a status value of the area in dependence of the received information.

Moving device detection

Proposed is a technique for preparing a roaming operation of a User Equipment (UE) between a home network and at least one visited network. A method aspect being performed in a roaming control entity comprises receiving at least one message related to the roaming operation, determining if a roaming attempt from the home network to the at least one visited network is performed, and, if the determining step is affirmative, requesting, from the home network, information relating to the UE so as to evaluate if the UE has access to the home network. The method aspect being performed in the UE comprises transmitting the at least one message about the roaming attempt, and receiving, responsive to the transmitting, deny or grant of access of the UE to the at least one visited network depending on whether the UE has access to the home network or not.
