Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for introducing an automatic one-time configuration ;of the DNS server(s) when a base station gateway, such as an HeNB GW, is deployed, such that the FQDN-to-HeNB GW IP address translation data is proactively configured. This is performed to identify the base station gateway address to which subsequently deployed base stations will be connected. That is, the FQDN-to-HeNB GW IP address translation data for the HeNB IDs of all the HeNBs that may potentially connect to the HeNB GW is proactively configured in the DNS server(s), thereby avoiding frequent and constantly ongoing DNS configuration during normal network operation. This configuration of the DNS allows the eNB to obtain the destination address for an X2 connection without knowing about an eventual HeNB GW, nor the addressing details, such as size/length (or fixed number of bits) of the HeNB GW ID.

In the transferred set of data, the indication of an existence of such data is detected (224) and data representing the original position is extracted (226) from the data containers intended for points defining corners of a single polygon. A communication network node performing at least a reception part or a transmission part of the method above is also presented.

Abstract: A method and arrangement in a mobile terminal such as a UE for selecting a transport format for an uplink transmission to a base station, wherein the selector selects a transport format from a set of transport formats which are generated based upon parameters of a radio connection established with the base station. Upon establishing a radio connection, the base station sends parameters to the UE describing a radio bearer configuration. The UE generates a set of transport formats based upon the radio bearer parameters. A classifier then classifies each of the transport formats in the set as either power-efficient or power-inefficient. When a grant is received from the base station, the UE derives a set of allowed transport formats. A transport format selector then selects a transport format that is both power-efficient and allowed.

Abstract: A mould for objects made of polymer material is produced by successively depositing a barrier thin layer and a thin layer of diamond-like carbon on at least a part of a metal support. The thin layer of diamond-like carbon is then nanopatterned with a predetermined pattern presenting a form factor of more than 1. Nanopatterning is performed by selective chemical etching in dry phase through a hard mask and etching stops at an interface between the thin layer of diamond-like carbon and the barrier thin layer. The hard mask used was formed beforehand on a free surface of the thin layer of diamond-like carbon by selective chemical etching in dry phase performed through a void lattice delineated by nanoparticles deposited beforehand on a free surface of said hard mask. The barrier thin layer and the nanopatterned thin layer of diamond-like carbon form a bilayer coating presenting a thickness comprised between about 100 nm and about 10 ?m.

Abstract: The invention deals with managing handovers between access networks in a packet data communication environment. According to the invention, the possibility to control access network resources will improve by having a mobility manager node (160) managing such handovers. The mobility manager node will decide to handover a mobile node (105) from a first access network (110) to a second access network (120) based on received information relevant to the handover process. After the decision, the mobility manager node will instruct a home agent (141) or similar node to register a new care-of address or other locator of the mobile node's point of attachment, which is valid in the second access network and which can be used for contacting the mobile node in the second access network. The mobility manager node will thereafter instruct the mobile node to de-attach from the first network and attach to the second network.
