Abstract: A method for machine-type communication between a mobile communication network and a machine-type communication device includes: determining, by the machine-type communication device, a waiting time interval based on identity information and time interval information stored in the machine-type communication type and based on application of a hash function operation applied to the identity information; and requesting, by the machine-type communication device, access to a random access resource of the mobile communication network after the determined waiting time interval has elapsed.

Abstract: A mobile system where generic information is defined which is applicable per the UE in order to convey subscription related information from the core network to the radio access network which can be used to steer the user to an appropriate cell or for any other Radio Resource Management (RRM) related procedure/decision. It is proposed to define an information element (herein referred as “subscriber type”) which allows an indication or pointer to a set of rules which are locally defined in involved nodes (e.g. CN SGSN, MSC, routers etc) and describe the “handling rules” to be applied in the RAN for each user of the mobile system independently.

Abstract: A method for indicating an emergency call availability to a Mobile Equipment includes: storing, at a memory device attached to the ME, information regarding the possibility of unauthenticated emergency calls in dependency of availability data, determining that the ME is in a limited service state; and indicating, by the ME, emergency call availability. The availability data indicates, for at least a first mobile telecommunications network and a second mobile telecommunications network, whether: all unauthenticated emergency calls are allowed with or without an identification module inserted in the ME, unauthenticated emergency calls are only allowed if a valid identification module is inserted in the ME, or unauthenticated emergency calls are not allowed.

Abstract: A method for remotely controlling a device by a fixed transceiver station in a radio cell of a cellular mobile telecommunications network, the cellular mobile telecommunications network being at least one of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network or a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), includes: transmitting to the device on a control channel, by the fixed transceiver station, control information specific to the radio cell; wherein the control channel is a channel or a portion of a channel used to broadcast location information; wherein the control information comprises an identification part for specifying the device; and wherein the device is not required to have a registration with the network.

Abstract: A method for handling communication between a user equipment and a radio network controller of an UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) radio access network includes: providing a transmission instruction by the radio network controller for redirecting the user equipment to a target carrier frequency, the target carrier frequency being an allowed frequency of a local access radio network; evaluating if the target carrier frequency is interfered by the local access radio network near the user equipment; and preventing a redirection of the user equipment to the target carrier frequency by the radio network controller for a certain time period, if the target carrier frequency is interfered by the local access network near the user equipment.
