The present invention relates to a method and devices for allowing a communication terminal to configure a measurement gap pattern on a downlink carrier frequency for measurement on a target carrier frequency by said communication terminal, the communication terminal being capable of performing measurements on at least two downlink carrier frequencies without measurement gap, the method comprising: obtaining an indication that there is a need for the measurement gap pattern, for performing the measurement on the target carrier frequency; retrieving information about how to configure the measurement gap pattern; and determining, based on the retrieved information, the downlink carrier frequency on which the measurement gap pattern is to be configured.

Method and devices for a communication system

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate security in response to a handover from an initial network to a subsequent network, such as a handover between a packet-switched network and a circuit-switched network. The method, apparatus and computer program product may provide at least one security key for use in the subsequent network following handover from the initial network such that communications conducted via the subsequent network, including initial communications, may be secure. In order to provide at least one security key for use in the subsequent network, at least one security key of the initial network may be identified along with a nonce in response to a determination that a handover is to be made. The at least one security key of the subsequent network may then be determined based upon the at least one security key of the initial network and the nonce.

Method, apparatus and computer program product for providing security during handover between a packet-switched network and a circuit-switched network

In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention there is at least a method, apparatus, and executable computer program to perform operations including receiving at a user equipment information from a network access node, prioritizing capability information of the user equipment in accordance with the received information, and transmitting all or at least part of the prioritized capability information to the network access node.

User equipment capability biasing

A method includes performing transport format combination selection so as to maximize transmission of higher priority data. The method operates, when scheduled and/or non-scheduled grants are taken into account for a transmission time interval, giving data of a given priority belonging to a scheduled MAC-d flow precedence over any lower priority data, whether belonging to a scheduled or a non-scheduled MAC-d flow; and giving data of a given priority belonging to a non-scheduled MAC-d flow precedence over any lower priority data, whether belonging to a scheduled or a non-scheduled MAC-d flow. In the method, where if the transmission contains any scheduled data, the size of a selected MAC-e protocol data unit is made not to exceed the total of all non-scheduled grants which are applicable for transmission in the transmission time interval; a maximum number of scheduled bits based on a serving grant, after adjustment for compressed frames, and a power offset; and the size of triggered scheduling information, if any. Also disclosed are corresponding apparatus and computer programs.
