Abstract: Advice of charge (AoC) enforcement is implemented in a content centric networking (CCN) gateway. The AoC enforcement receives a CCN interest packet from a user equipment in a network external to the CCN network and looks up a prefix of the CCN name in an AoC table. The AoC enforcement further, in response to determining a match between the prefix of the CCN name and an entry in the AoC table, generates an AoC request and forwarding the AoC request toward an AoC server identified by the entry in the AoC table determined to be the match with the prefix of the CCN name. In response to not determining the match between the prefix of the CCN name and the entry in the AoC table or in response to receiving a purchase accepted response from the AoC server, a CCN object identified by the CCN name is retrieved and forwarded to the user equipment.

Abstract: A method provides a network service in a communication network covering a geographical area for a plurality of mobile clients. A mobile client (among the plurality of mobile clients) registers with the communication network. A geomessaging register identifies a service enabler based on registration information of the mobile client. The geomessaging register sends, to the identified service enabler, contact information of the mobile client. The service enabler sends, to the geomessaging register, contact information of the service enabler. The geomessaging register then sends, to the mobile client, the contact information of the service enabler. The mobile client is then connected to the service enabler for receiving the network service. Related network nodes participate in providing such services.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to detecting one or more characteristics (e.g., a carrier type or a carrier mode) of a carrier signal transmitted by a radio access node of a cellular communications network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of operation of a wireless device includes receiving a carrier signal transmitted by a radio access node and detecting, in the carrier signal, a first physical signal that primarily supports synchronization and cell identification and a second physical signal that supports a functionality other than synchronization and cell identification. A time-domain spacing between the first and second physical signals is a function of a characteristic of the carrier signal. The method further includes determining a characteristic of the carrier signal based on a time-domain spacing between the first and second physical signals detected in the carrier signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for Secondary Cell (sCell) selection for wireless devices operating according to a carrier aggregation scheme in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a network node obtains a list of potential sCells for a wireless device. The network node blindly selects an sCell for the wireless device from the list of potential sCells. The network node then configures the wireless device with the selected sCell. Blindly selecting the sCell for the wireless device makes it possible to avoid the use of measurement gaps and reduce throughput loss, according to some embodiments.
