There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus including circuitry for, at a distributed unit of a relay node, determining that an internet protocol, IP, address of the distributed unit of the relay node used for communicating with a centralised unit of a donor node over a first communication path including a first donor distributed unit is to be reused after a change from the first communication path to a second communication path including a second donor distributed unit and providing an indication to the control plane of the centralised unit of the donor node that the IP address is to be reused.

Method, apparatus and computer program

It is provided a method comprising at least one of a) and b): a) monitoring whether a service request to produce a producer service is received and producing the producer service if the service request is received, wherein the producer service is a service produced by the access network; and b) consuming a producer service from a core network or an access network, wherein the producer service is consumed by an access network.

Access network with service-based interfaces

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to for topology redundancy. A first device transmits to a second device a request for setup of a context of a third device served by the first device. The first device receives the context from the second device. The first device transmits the context to the third device for communication between the third device and the first device via a fourth device. The fourth device is managed by the second device.

Devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable media for topology redundancy

In some example embodiment, there may be provided an apparatus configured to at least: receive information including survival time and/or traffic pattern information indicative of deterministic traffic; determine, based on the received information, a packet handling type indicative of whether the deterministic traffic is to be carried in a selective packet duplication mode or an alternative packet transmission mode over at least two links; and perform, based on at least on the survival time, the indicated packet handling type to enable the deterministic traffic to be carried over the at least two links in the selective packet duplication mode or the alternative packet transmission mode.

Selective packet duplication or alternative packet transmission based on survival time

There are provided measures for enabling/realizing latency-bounded packet delivery in a mobile communication system, particularly in a mobile communication system (or mobile networking) being integrated in a time-sensitive communication system (or time-sensitive networking). Such measures exemplarily comprise that a quality-of-service flow within a packet data unit session in a mobile communication system is configured by a quality-of-service profile of deterministic communication based on setting information of the quality-of-service profile of deterministic communication, in which minimum required latency and maximum allowed latency for delivery of user plane data packets are defined, said quality-of-service flow being for delivery of user plane data packets including data of a time-sensitive communication system, a user plane data packet is received in the configured quality-of-service flow within the packet data unit session, and the received user plane data packet is processed in accordance with the quality-of-service profile of deterministic communication.

Latency-bounded packet delivery in mobile communication system

An apparatus and method comprising implementing a near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller, and detecting an event triggering a need for transfer of control of at least one access node from said near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller to a target near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller. An address of the target near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller is determined, and an interface between the near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller and the target near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller is established. The transfer of the control of the at least one access node from said near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller to the target near-real-time radio access network intelligent controller is carried out.

Method for transferring an access node

A method is provided of replacing a first drone base station with a second drone base station, the first drone base station, the method comprising: sending by the first drone base station first pilot signals indicating a cell identifier; receiving by the first drone base station information that the second drone base station is in the vicinity of the first drone base station; sending by the second drone base station second pilot signals which indicate the same cell identifier as the first drone base station; receiving by the first drone base station from the second drone base station an indication to cease to send first pilot signals; and dependent upon receiving by the first drone base station from the second drone base station the indication to cease to send first pilot signals, ceasing by the first drone base station the sending of first pilot signals.

Seamless replacement of a first drone base station with a second drone base station

A method of wireless data transmission at a first radio access point, including detecting a degradation of a first radio link established for a first frequency band between the first radio access point and a user equipment, and sending, addressed to a network entity, information to trigger a handover or handover decision of the wireless data transmission from the first radio link of the first radio access point operating in the first frequency band to a second radio link of a second radio access point operating in the first frequency band depending on the result of the detection.

Handover method for wireless data transmission system

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and server for processing geo-information including receiving, at the Geo-Information System server, a geo-view identifier; sending an indication whether a geo-view identified by the geo-view identifier is available, the geo-view comprising a schema identifier, wherein a schema identified by the schema identifier describes a data format comprising location information and one or more characteristics of the conditions in the cellular network; receiving data in a format consistent with the identified schema; and storing the received data in a data store.

Radio access network geographic information system with multiple format

A method of communicating in a wireless telecommunication network includes establishing a control channel at a control channel frequency in a first frequency band between a wireless terminal and a base station gathering information about a second frequency band indicative of at least a first portion of the second frequency band not being allocated to at least one other device and/or service; determining if the traffic load in the first frequency band is above a traffic load threshold; transmitting control channel data from the base station to the wireless terminal if the traffic load in the first frequency band is above the traffic load threshold; and establishing a communication channel at the communication channel frequency between the wireless terminal and the base station if the traffic load in the first frequency band is above the traffic load threshold. A base station associated with the method is also provided.
