Patent number: 10536243Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method in a base station for coordinating resources in a wireless communications system with carrier aggregation in which a first group of terminal devices is served by a primary cell and one or more secondary cells under control of the base station. The method comprises obtaining information indicating arrival of a second group of terminal devices at coverage of the base station. A speed of any terminal device of the second group is higher than a speed of any terminal device of the first group. The method also comprises releasing resources on at least one secondary cell of the one or more secondary cells and allocating the released resources to the second group of terminal devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2014Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Yang Hu, Angelo Centonza, Yipeng Zhang, Huaisong Zhu

Patent number: 10517022Abstract: Disclosed are a method for enabling a terminal access to a cell, a terminal and a storage medium. The method includes: when performing a Circuit Switched Domain Fallback (CSFB) service, a terminal sends a location update request to a base station of a first cell; when receiving a location update reject message, which is returned by the base station of the first cell in response to the location update request, and determining that a reason for reject is Location Area Not Allowed according to the location update reject message, the terminal puts a Location Area Identification (LAI) of the first cell into a forbidden location areas (LAs) for roaming list; and in response to putting the LAI of the first cell into the forbidden LAs for roaming list, the terminal searches one or more second cells except the first cell and performs an access operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: GUANGDONG OPPO MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP., LTD.Inventor: Xukang Wang
