The present invention relates to a method for data transmission from a first user equipment to a base station of a cellular network, where the first user equipment is camping on under coverage enhancement conditions, the first user equipment being communicatively connected to at least one second user equipment via a device-to-device communication channel, wherein for the data transmission of at least one data packet, the method comprises the steps for the first user equipment of: transmitting the at least one data packet to the at least one second user equipment via the device-to-device communication channel, instructing the at least one second user equipment to transmit the at least one data packet time-synchronized with the first transmission to the base station.

Method for power optimized data transmission in a wireless cellular network

A method for operating a user equipment in a cellular network, the cellular network comprising a plurality of base stations, wherein at least one base station is configured to maintain neighbor relation data, wherein the user equipment is operating with an active base station in narrowband communication category, the method including, for the user equipment—receiving from the active base station a measurement instruction message, the measurement instruction message containing at least one restriction parameter relating to at least one of a reporting time indication and a minimum power level indicator, —receiving a connection release message, —measuring signals from at least one neighbor base station considering the at least one restriction parameter, and, on occasion of a reconnection—transmitting at least one neighbor measurement report to the active base station.

Method for operating a user equipment supporting self organizing networks

A method for securing a direct communication connection between a first and a second user equipment, both configured to operate with base stations of a wireless network, in which the first user equipment maintains an authentication code received from a first security center accessible via the wireless network, said first security center being assigned to a first area, the method comprising the steps for the first user equipment of: maintaining a trust level of the authentication code, reducing the trust level relating to the time of last access to one of the base stations of the wireless network, submitting to the second user equipment the authentication code and the trust level, for setting up the direct communication connection, and in case of reception of a confirmation transmission from the second user equipment: setting up the direct communication connection with the second user equipment.

Method for securing a direct communication connection

The present invention relates to a method for operating a wireless device in a cellular network, the wireless device operating with a base node of the cellular network, the method comprises upon noticing a barring indication received from the base node at the wireless device the step of suppressing access to the base node under the conditions: the wireless device is operating in an intensive use mode and the wireless device is operating in a non-privileged service.

Method for operating a wireless device in a cellular network

A method for a wireless terminal communicating with a base station of a cellular network, the terminal operating in enhanced coverage mode and configured to set up a communication session with the base station by means of at least one of a direct communication link and a sidelink communication link using a second wireless terminal. The method comprises: determining a quality of the direct communication link with the base station, determining a quality of a communication link to a second wireless terminal capable of communicating with the base station, initiating transmission of a link quality message to the base station, the link quality message comprising information relating to the quality of the communication link, receiving a response from the base station indicating if the direct communication link or the sidelink communication link is to be used, requesting a communication session via the indicated communication link.
