Some embodiments provide a method for performing cell reconfiguration in a network node, which is associated with at least two antennas. Each antenna is capable of transmitting a signal covering at least one sector. The method comprises switching () from a first state () wherein a multi-sector cell covering at least two sectors is active, to a second state (), wherein sector cells covering each of the at least two sectors are active in addition to the multi-sector cell. In the second state, the same antennas are utilized for the sector cells as for the multi-sector cell. The method further comprises switching () from the second state to a third state () wherein the multi-sector cell is deactivated and the sector cells are active.

Methods and devices for cell reconfiguration

There is provided a method of authenticating a public land mobile network (PLMN) to a mobile station (MS). The PLMN provides a circuit switched access network to the MS, and the MS and a trusted service, TS, have established a security context. The initiation of a voice call or initiation of sending or receiving of a pushed message by the MS (S10.1) is detected, and the TS generates a response authentication token using a session identifier and the security context (S10.7). The TS sends a response comprising the response authentication token to the MS such that the response is delivered to the MS over a signalling channel of the PLMN using a mobile subscriber integrated services digital network-number (MSISDN) associated with the subscriber or subscription to direct the message (S10.9). The MS authenticates the response using the response authentication token, the security context, and the session identifier (S10.12) in order to authenticate the PLMN.

Authenticating public land mobile networks to mobile stations

The present invention aims to reduce the cost of planning and maintaining neighbor cell sets by requiring mobile terminals to make an additional effort to identify uniquely neighboring cells in the radio network.

The disclosure relates to a method and radio base station for sharing resources in a wireless communication system. The radio base station stores an identity of a first entity to which a first plurality of UEs is associated. The first plurality of UEs has full access to resources provided by the radio base station. The radio base station also stores an identity of a second entity to which a second plurality of UEs is associated. The second plurality of UEs has partial access to the resources provided by the radio base station. When the radio base station receives a request for accessing resources from a UE, it determines whether the UE is associated with the second entity, i.e. if the UE is to be handled in support mode. If the UE is associated with the second entity it means that the UE only should have partial access to the resources.
