Abstract: Taking control of a subscriber terminal. An apparatus comprises a processor configured to cause the apparatus: to control a first stand-alone base station utilizing a first radio access technology RAT to form an emulated first RAT cell and to set parameters of the emulated first RAT cell such that the emulated first RAT cell becomes a tempting destination for a cell reselection by a subscriber terminal utilizing the first RAT; to control a second stand-alone base station such that a formed emulated second RAT cell becomes a preferred destination for a cell reselection; to control the first stand-alone base station so that the ongoing radio connection with the serving cell base station utilizing the first RAT is transferred to continue with the first stand-alone base station utilizing the first RAT; and to control the first stand-alone base station to perform inter RAT cell reselection with the subscriber terminal.

Abstract: Subscriber terminal identification is disclosed. An apparatus controls a base station to form an emulated long term evolution LTE cell such that tracking area code and physical cell identity of the emulated LTE cell are unused by real neighbouring LTE cells, and radio frequency power level of the emulated LTE cell within the emulated LTE cell is higher than the radio frequency power levels of the real neighbouring LTE cells within the emulated LTE cell; and controls the base station to receive a connection request from a subscriber terminal residing in the emulated LTE cell, whereupon, in the ensuing exchange of messages, the base station is controlled to receive an international mobile subscriber identity from the subscriber terminal.
Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program for network analysis are provided. The method comprises: outputting, in a network analysis tool, display content comprising a layout of the communication network comprising network elements in the form of a plurality of network nodes and a plurality of communication interfaces connecting the plurality of network nodes, the display content further comprising compressed application information associated with at least one of the network elements, wherein the compressed application information indicates what type of user application data traffic is currently transferred through said at least one of the network elements; receiving an input to select at least one of the displayed network elements; and outputting, as a response to the input, detailed application information of the selected at least one of the displayed network elements.
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.

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.
