  • Patent number: 8457643
    Abstract: Taking control of a subscriber terminal is disclosed. An apparatus comprises a processor configured to cause the apparatus: to control a stand-alone base station so that an emulated cell of a cellular radio system is formed by transmitting a control channel with information of a real cell and with such transmission power that a subscriber terminal having an ongoing connection with a serving cell base station is caused to measure reception of the stand-alone base station as being better than reception of the serving cell base station; and to control the stand-alone base station to perform cell reselection with the subscriber terminal so that the ongoing radio connection with the serving cell base station is transferred to continue with the stand-alone base station.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8351900
    Abstract: A method receives signaling messages by a mobile apparatus at least from one base station of a cellular network, interprets a received signaling message, searches for an anomaly with at least one signaling parameter of the received signaling message from a first base station to a known comparison signaling parameter, gives an alert if the comparison gives an unequal result concerning at least one signaling parameter.

  • Publication number: 20080009297
    Abstract: A portable positioning system comprising a processing unit controlling the operations of the positioning system, the processing unit being configured to determine an identifier of a mobile station to be positioned. The positioning system further comprises: at least one base station connected to the processing unit and a network element controlling the operations of the base station, the base station being configured to form at least one positioning cell area, to receive an identifier of one or more mobile stations on the basis of location updates made by the mobile stations in each location area of the formed positioning cell area, and the processing unit being configured to position the mobile station to be positioned when the positioning system receives the identifier of the mobile station to be positioned.
