Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for radio access technology (RAT) management for user terminals with a connection on at least one RAT. There is disclosed a method for controlling a selection of a RAT for traffic flow of a user terminal comprising the steps of receiving information on a user plane of a serving RAT; using the received information to determine a characteristic indicative of an expected quality for a connection between the user terminal and a candidate cell of a candidate RAT; comparing the user terminal's connection quality on a serving cell of the serving RAT to the characteristic indicative of the expected quality for a connection between the user terminal and the candidate cell of the candidate RAT; and determining on the basis of the comparison whether the user terminal should change its traffic flow to the candidate cell of the candidate RAT or maintain its traffic flow on the serving cell of the serving RAT.

Abstract: A method of operating a mobile telecommunications device including cellular communication means operable to communicate with a cellular telecommunications network base station and white space communication means operable to communicate with a non-cellular white space access point, the method including determining the availability of white space and selectively enabling white space communication in dependence upon the determination. Controlling transmission of user data in the white space may be by exchanging control data with the cellular telecommunications network base station such that the control data controls the transmission of user data in the white space. White space communication need not be implemented in uplink and may be used in the downlink alone.

Abstract: Control of handover management at a first base station in a cellular network is provided. A separate, provisioning base station of the cellular network may provide the first base station with a radio backhaul interface to a core network part of the cellular network. Then, handover status information may be communicated to the first base station, the information being based on a handover status for the provisioning base station. Additionally or alternatively, the first base station is configured for operation whilst mobile and a mobility parameter is determined for it, relating to a change in location for the first base station. Handover status information is communicated to the first base station based on the determined mobility parameter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to wireless systems, and in particular provides a method of sharing radio resources between a first cell of a first cellular network and a second cell of a second cellular network.

The method comprises identifying a transmission for a user attached to the first cell that is available for radio resource allocation by the scheduler of the first cell, where the transmission could be made over the second carrier; and interfacing between the scheduler of the first cell and the scheduler of the second cell, so as to allocate radio resources for use by the second cell to the transmission for the user attached to the first cell.

Abstract: In a cellular communication system a first and a second set of antennas are arranged at an antenna site. First and second baseband processing blocks are coupled to the antennas of the first and second antennas respectively. To improve the connection to a terminal an antenna of the second set is coupled to the first baseband processing block in addition to the antennas of the first set. Communication with the terminal is performed via at least one antenna of the first and at least one antenna of the second set. The first and second set of antennas can belong to two different network operators. By applying this invention, the two network operators can share the antenna pool of the first and second set of antennas even if the antennas are the existing ones at the same top-roof or tower.
