Disclosed are information indication methods and apparatuses, a network device, and a terminal device. In an information indication method, a network device generates first configuration information, and transmits the first configuration information to the terminal device. The first configuration information is adapted to configure a first physical random access channel (PRACH) resource, and includes first indication information indicative of at least one of a target beam or a target cell to be accessed by a terminal device during a random access channel (RACH) procedure initiated with a second PRACH resource.

Information indication method and apparatus, network device and terminal device

Embodiments comprise measures, including methods, apparatus and computer program products, for use in access network selection in a telecommunications system. The telecommunications system comprises, at least, a mobile telephony radio access network. At one or more network nodes of the mobile telephony radio access network a preference, to offload at least some data communication in the mobile telephony radio access network to a further radio access network other than the mobile telephony radio access network, is identified. In response to this identification, an indication of the identified offloading preference is caused to be transmitted, via the mobile telephony radio access network, to at least one user equipment.

Network selection

For use in offloading traffic to a wireless local area network (WLAN) a user equipment (UE) receives from a wireless wide area network at least a first set of thresholds having different thresholds corresponding to different types of data to be offloaded. The UE utilizes the threshold corresponding to a given type of data to evaluate whether an access node operating in the WLAN is suitable for offloading data of the given type. Only if the evaluated access node is determined to be suitable will the UE use it for offloading, and only for data of the given type. In other non-limiting embodiments the first set of thresholds has different thresholds corresponding to different data-types for different categories (e.g., subscription levels) of the UE; and there may be a second set of thresholds with different thresholds corresponding to different classifications of different WLAN access nodes.

There is proposed a mechanism for controlling communications conducted in multiple frequency bands, in particular for controlling interference caused by intermodulation distortion. When the UE obtains information that an interference caused by an intermodulation distortion produced by a set of first communications performed on at least a first and a second frequency and a second communication performed on a third frequency is present, an indication to the eNB for indicating that an interference situation caused by intermodulation distortion exists. The eNB receiving this indication is enabled to acquire parameters related to the interference situation caused by the intermodulation distortion, and to control, on the basis of the acquired parameters, a communication with the UE by changing communication properties for reducing the interference caused by intermodulation distortion.

The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) for implementing a D2D discovery resource allocation by a network for D2D discovery by UEs belonging to multiple cells in a D2D discovery area, e.g., in LTE wireless systems. A network such as LTE may determine an allocation of one or more resources (UL and/or DL) for a device-to-device discovery among a plurality of UEs located in multiple cells of the network in a D2D discovery area. The allocation of the one or more resources is then may be provided by the network to the plurality of UEs for performing, using these one or more resources, the D2D discovery between any two UEs of the plurality of UEs located in the multiple cells in the D2D discovery area.

There is provided a mechanism for controlling communications conducted in multiple frequency bands so as to decrease an interference level between the communications. When an interference situation caused between a first set UL communications performed on at least two different frequency bands and a DL communication performed on another frequency band is determined, a frequency carrier deactivation processing is conducted so as to deactivate either one of carriers of the at least two frequency bands of the set of UL communications. The deactivation processing includes for example an autonomous denial on the UE side or an interference reporting with deactivation on the eNB side.

Interference control mechanism in multi-band communication

A network sends downlink a neighbor frequency list for redirection (with at least one neighbor frequency) for measurement, for example event-triggered measurement. For each frequency in the list which a user equipment UE finds to satisfy one or more criteria, for example event-triggering criteria, the idle-state or semi-idle-state UE then takes a measurement of the neighbor frequency and checks whether the measurement satisfies reporting criteria. The UE sends to its serving cell an indication of the neighbor frequency or frequencies whose measurement meets the reporting criteria, without reporting the measurement, such as in a RRC Connection Request message. The serving cell then redirects the UE to establish a connection on a target frequency selected from the indicated neighbor frequencies, and this redirect may be in a RRC Connection Reject message.

Measurement reporting

The present invention relates to a method and system for performing a multicast transmission in a cellular network, wherein an identification information, which indicates terminal devices and/or areas in which authorized terminal devices are assumed to be located, is transmitted from a core network () to a radio access network of the cellular network by using a control information transmission protocol. Then, a signalling connection of a control and user data transmission protocol is establishing based on said identification information and used for transmitting multicast related data and corresponding control information between the core network () and the radio access network. Thereby, already defined protocol layers can be used for implementing multicast transmission, while modifications are minimized.
