In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes generating, by an application function and based on a time sensitive communication requirement for one or more end stations, at least one quality of service parameter for a time sensitive communication path from a talker end station through at least a portion of a 5G system to a listener end station; and sending, by the application function, a request towards a policy control function, the request including the at least one quality of service parameter configured to enable a creation, at the one or more 5G nodes, of a quality of service flow in accordance with the at least one quality of service parameter, wherein the one or more 5G nodes comprise a user plane function and/or at least one base station. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Method to support 5G time sensitive communications

A method to control cell selection and/or re-selection in a communication system comprising a plurality of cells with which terminal devices may communicate, the method including the steps of: determining that a terminal device is to start a session for a certain service, the service using a reception frequency; based on that determination, changing at least one cell selection and/or re-selection parameter in respect of the terminal device with the effect that a subsequent cell selection and/or re-selection performed by the device would favor cells that use the reception frequency used in the service session over other cells.

Frequency layer convergence method for MBMS

The invention proposes a method for transmitting a message to a plurality of user entities in a network by using a multicast service, comprising the steps of encrypting a multicast message by using ciphering, and sending the encrypted multicast message to the plurality of user entities simultaneously. The invention also proposes a corresponding multicast service control device and a corresponding user entity.

Ciphering data for transmission in a network

Ciphering as a part of the multicast concept

Disclosed is a method of determining the validity of service announcements in a cellular mobile network, wherein a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) is provided, a service area (SA) is defined by the availability of a specific broadcast/multicast service which availability is announced in each cell, and the method comprises: generating a service announcement area identification (SAA id) which is the same for cells with identical service announcements; and checking by a user entity (UE) upon arrival in a new cell which service announcement is valid by receiving the service announcement area identification (SAA id). Also disclosed are a corresponding system and user entity.

Method of determining the validity of service announcements

This invention is a system and a method of connecting at least one mobile station () in a wireless network () including mobile stations and a controller () to another network (). The method includes transmitting a communication from at least one mobile station, while the at least one mobile station is activated in the wireless network, but is not terminated to the controller, to the another network to establish a connection between the at least one mobile station and the another network; and the another network transmits a transmission of control information using the connection to the at least one mobile station while the at least one mobile station is activated but is not terminated to the controller.
