Access verification is adaptively done using an identifier of a first or a second length, by comparing a field of a node address that has the determined first or second length against a locally stored access list. At least the compared field of the node address is either added to a locally stored list of cell selection candidate nodes where the access list is allowed identifiers, or excluded from it where the access list is restricted identifiers. The node identifier is in three sections. The first section is service type, which the UE can use to determine whether or not it is restricted/allowed. The first length is the length of the second section, which is a service area ID of a group of network nodes. The second length is the length of the second section plus the third section, which identifies one node of the group of network nodes.

Forbidden tracking area optimization for private/home networks

The basic idea of the present invention is to specify at least two different triggers for sending a measurement report from the mobile station to the network. According to the invention, the network specifies the triggers to be used in different measurement report types. The triggers are preferably upper or lower threshold values for parameters of the radio signal. In response to having detected that the measured value has exceeded its upper threshold value or gone under its lower threshold, the mobile station sends the network a measurement report.

Measurement reporting in a telecommunication system

The invention specifies at least two different triggers for sending a measurement report from the mobile station to the network. According to the invention, the network specifies the triggers to be used in different measurement report types. The triggers are preferably upper or lower threshold values for parameters of the radio signal. In response to having detected that the measured value has exceeded its upper threshold value or has gone under its lower threshold, the mobile station sends the network a measurement report.

The present invention relates to defining triggers or threshold values for radio signal parameters that are used for determining whether or not to send a measurement report separately for the uplink and downlink direction. The triggers for the uplink and downlink are logically combined so that a measurement report may be sent when measurements in both the uplink and downlink satisfy the triggers, when either measurement does, or when only one of the uplink or downlink measurement does. Preferably, the measurement report is a mobile evaluated handover measurement report triggering a handover. It is preferably triggered in the mobile station when at least one upper threshold of the radio signal parameters for a mobile evaluated handover is exceeded or a lower threshold is gone under.

Estimation of a signal to interference ratio in a cellular communications system is described wherein an estimate for interference is the weighted sum of individual interference estimates along each of a plurality of multi-paths, weighted according to estimates of the signal power, likewise along each of a plurality of multi-paths.
