Methods and devices adapted to receive a data in order to trigger a small cell search, including receiving a data from a network, wherein the data comprises at least one of: a small cell station location list comprising one or more small cell station locations, or a macro cell list comprising one or more macro cells, wherein the one or more macro cells have at least one small cell within their coverage; and triggering the small cell search at the device in response to at least one of the following: when the device is in proximity to a small cell station location listed in the small cell station location list, or when the device is within coverage of a macro cell listed in the macro cell list. These methods and devices may be configured to provide a mobile device with a method to search for and select a closed subscriber (CSG) cell for the first time.

Methods and devices for small cell search

A communication device is provided comprising a receiver configured to detect whether it can receive emergency notification information of a radio cell and, if it cannot receive the emergency notification information of the radio cell, search for another radio cell based on the possibility to receive emergency notification information of the other radio cell. Further, the communication device comprises a controller configured to, if the receiver has found another radio cell based on the possibility to receive emergency notification information of the other radio cell, initiate a reselection of the other radio cell.

Apparatus of a user equipment adapted for receiving emergency notification information used in mobile communication and method for receiving emergency notification information

According to various examples, a communication terminal is described comprising a transceiver configured to perform a first attempt for selection of or reselection to a target radio cell, a measurement circuit, configured to measure, if the first attempt fails, a reception quality of the target cell, a memory configured to store an indication of the measured reception quality and a controller configured to determine a time for a second attempt for selection of or reselection to the target radio cell based on the stored indication and to control the transceiver to perform the second attempt at the determined time.

Communication terminal and method for performing a cell selection or reselection

Devices and methods for enabling the reporting of technology indicators to a user operating on an LTE-NR Dual Connectivity mode. This may include establishing a first network access link with a primary network access node and a second network access link with a secondary network access node; identifying a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) corresponding to the first network access link and a second RAT corresponding to the second network access link; determining a first RAT Radio Link Control (RLC) leg for the first RAT and a second RAT RLC leg for the second RAT; and reporting at least the second RAT based on the determined second RAT RLC leg.

Devices and methods for next generation technology indicators

A radio communication device may be provided. The radio communication device may include: a measurement circuit configured to measure a reception quality of a signal from a second radio communication device; a memory configured to store signal information indicating the reception quality of the signal measured by the measurement circuit; a configuration information receiver configured to receive configuration information for the radio communication device based on the measured reception quality; a quality indication determination circuit configured to determine a quality indication of a communication with the second radio communication device based on the stored signal information and the received configuration information; and a connection establishing determination circuit configured to determine whether to establish a connection for communication with the second radio communication device based on the determined quality indication.

Radio communication devices and methods for controlling a radio communication device

A cell transfer controller is described comprising a detector configured to detect radio cells available for a mobile terminal; a determiner configured to determine, for a first radio cell detected by the detector, a waiting period after which the radio cell is selectable by the cell transfer controller as a target cell for a cell transfer and a controller, configured to increase the length of the waiting period in case that during the waiting period, the detector detects a second radio cell which fulfills a predetermined criterion.
