Abstract: A client is intended to be authenticated with a server. The present disclosure relates to a method that includes using an algorithm for the client and server, but independently of one another, to produce a first key. A second key is produced by the client such that its distance from the first key is within a predetermined distance. The second key is sent to the server. The server successfully authenticates the client if the distance between the received second key and the first key is within the predetermined delta. The second key is used as a new start key for further authentication of the client with the server.

At least one base station of the base stations receives the channel state information, arranges the channel state information in the predetermined order into a datagram, and transmits the datagram to at least one other base station of the base stations.

Abstract: The invention relates to an interactive voice response (IVR) system supplying functions and resources to services encompassing interactive voice response or output of announcements and three methods for dealing with resource bottlenecks of the IVR system. The IVR system supplies a pool of resources to several switching systems. Virtual, individually assigned IVR systems are created from the perspective of the switching systems by allocating the control interfaces and user data interfaces of the IVR system in an exclusive, disjunctive manner to the switching systems. Resource bottlenecks can be prevented when several switching systems access the IVR system by rejecting jobs for which the required resources cannot be reserved or by aborting jobs creating too substantial delays during processing due to the wait for resources. The invention has the advantage of efficiently utilizing the resources supplied by the IVR system.

Abstract: The present document describes a distributed communication arrangement, wherein a radio access network of a wireless telecommunication system provides a terminal device with two logical communication connections. Both uplink and downlink of a first logical connection are routed between a base station and the terminal device through a relay node. Uplink of a second logical connection is also routed between the base station and the terminal device through the relay node. Downlink of the second logical connection is, however, transmitted directly from the base station to the terminal device. Such an arrangement is used for cooperative communication purposes.
