A method for transmission of environment-related information between a user equipment and a mobile communication network includes: transmitting measurement configuration information from a mobile communication network to a user equipment; obtaining local network information by conducting a requested measurement; and transmitting the local network information together with at least one other uplink transmission performed by the user equipment to the base station entity by using at least one radio interface of the user equipment.

Enhancing the usage of resources related to the transmission of environment-related information between a user equipment and a mobile communication network

A method for enhanced Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) selection in a cellular mobile network, a User Equipment having information related to a PLMN selection mode, includes: transmitting the information related to the PLMN selection mode to a Registered Public Land Mobile Network (RPLMN) of the User Equipment; and in case that the User Equipment is able to attach to its RPLMN and to at least one other PLMN, performing an attachment of the User Equipment to the other PLMN based on the information related to the PLMN selection mode.

Method and program for enhanced PLMN selection in a public land mobile network

A method for sharing or jointly using a GERAN (GSM EDGE Radio Access Network) mobile radio access network by at least a first mobile radio network operator and a second mobile radio network operator includes providing a radio access network for joint use by the at least first and second mobile radio network operators, wherein the radio access network provides at least a first radio frequency channel and a second radio frequency channel, the at least first and second radio frequency channels having each a TDMA frame (Time Division Multiple Access frame) with eight time slots (TSto TS), and associated dedicated time slots of the radio access network with the mobile radio network operators.

Method, system and base station for sharing or jointly using a GERAN (GSM EDGE radio access network) mobile radio access network

Process for geographical location of a cellular terminal () within a cellular land mobile network () for finding a certain base station (), each cell () of the land mobile network () an identifier sent [sic], the combination of the identifiers of the identifiers which have been received at a certain geographical position delivering a unique configuration (), the cellular terminal () being suited to storing these configurations (), when agreement of the current configuration () with the configuration () stored in the cellular terminal () is established a search of the cellular terminal () for the base station () being triggered, by means of the base station () the configuration () being checked at the geographical position of the base station () and when the identifier of the cell () is modified, a new identifier and/or the new configuration () for transmission to the cellular terminal () being made available, and the new identifiers and/or the new configuration () being stored in the cellular terminal ().

Process for updating additional information stored in a terminal for a terminal-based recognition of home base stations in a cellular land mobile system

A method for remotely controlling a device by a fixed transceiver station in a radio cell of a cellular mobile telecommunications network, the cellular mobile telecommunications network being at least one of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network or a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), includes: transmitting to the device on a control channel, by the fixed transceiver station, control information specific to the radio cell; wherein the control channel is a channel or a portion of a channel used to broadcast location information; wherein the control information comprises an identification part for specifying the device; and wherein the device is not required to have a registration with the network.

Process and land mobile system for operating a cellular land mobile network in which in case of an overload certain resources of the land mobile network currently being used can be released in order to be available for higher priority applications, and resources can be usable at the same time by several applications, characterized in that selection of the resource to be released takes place, for all resources under consideration an efficiency factor being determined and the resource with the lowest efficiency factor being released.

Process for selection of resources to be released in case of an overload in a cellular land mobile system

The invention relates to a method for connecting a mobile communications connection in a mobile communications network, particularly in a cellular mobile communications network, in the case of temporarily limited accessibility or availability of the mobile communications network due to an overload, between a prioritized first mobile communications terminal device and a non-prioritized second mobile communications terminal device, wherein the non-prioritized mobile communications terminal device is at least partially and at least temporarily blocked due to the overload situation, wherein the first prioritized mobile communications terminal device transmits a call connection attempt, the mobile communications network recognizes the call connection attempt as a prioritized call connection attempt and prioritizes said attempt over other, non-prioritized mobile communications terminal devices and transmits said attempt to the second non-prioritized mobile communications terminal device, wherein the blockage of the second mobile communications terminal device is at least temporarily lifted such that the incoming call may be accepted by the second mobile communications terminal device and the mobile communications connection may be made, the blockage of the second mobile communications terminal device being particularly lifted on the network side or the second mobile communications terminal device particularly having means for recognizing that the call connection attempt is originating from a prioritized mobile communications terminal device and at least temporarily ignoring the blockage thereof.

Method of connecting prioritized incoming calls in overload situations in a mobile radio network

The invention relates to a method for operating a mobile communications network having two or more supply levels (), wherein the supply levels () overlap and are each formed by a plurality of transmission stations, wherein a first supply level () is defined as the standard level (), which guarantees the availability of the mobile communications network, and a second supply level () is at least partially and/or temporarily deactivated.

Method of reducing the power consumption in a mobile radio network with at least two supply layers

The invention relates to a method for renewing program files of a programmable, mobile telecommunications terminal, according to which the program files are transmitted from a telecommunications network to the telecommunications terminal via the air interface. The aim of the invention is to allow the program files to be renewed in a simple and cost-effective manner and with little effort. To achieve this, the terminal type is determined by the telecommunications network, new program files that exist in devices of the telecommunications network, or are available elsewhere are determined and made available for the identified terminal type and the existing new program files are automatically transmitted to the terminal via the air interface.

The invention relates to a method for reduction of the incoming delay time in network-initiated data transmission in GPRS-mobile communication networks, wherein data transmission is initiated to a mobile communication terminal device in a ready state via a requesting network node, wherein the first data packet to be sent by the requesting network node has already been transmitted to the base station subsystem together with a Paging Request message.

Method for reducing the delay time by a paging procedure in network-initiated data transmission in GPRS-mobile communication networks

The invention relates to a method for the provision of operator-specific performance features of different mobile radio network operators for a mobile radio customer, whereby the mobile radio customer has a smart card, on which a user relationship for the mobile radio customer with a mobile radio network operator is stored. The method is characterized in that at least two user relationships are defined on the smart card of the mobile radio customer with differing mobile radio call numbers and with independent performance features and a mobile radio network operator is assigned to each user relationship.
