Abstract: A method and apparatus may be configured to receive at least one set of barring parameters from a network entity. Each set corresponds to a barring check and has a unique implicit or explicit priority. Each set of received barring parameters also corresponds to at least one application that is allowed to bypass the barring check associated with the corresponding and lower priority sets of barring parameters. An application belonging to one of the application groups corresponding to a set of barring parameters needs to pass all the barring checks according to the higher priority barring parameters to access the network. The method can also include determining whether an application bypasses the barring check associated with the corresponding and lower priority sets of barring parameters.

Abstract: Services are transmittable via a transport network by using container(s), wherein each container is adapted to transmit data with a specific bandwidth and is multiplexable, according to a dynamic multiplexing structure, to at least another container adapted to transmit data with a higher bandwidth. The network management system selects a container being adapted to transmit data with a first bandwidth out of the number of containers, determines all containers of the number of containers being adapted to transmit data with a bandwidth lower than the first bandwidth, and defines all possible termination points for each determined container. All possible termination points are defined before a service to be transmitted is selected by a user. A number of the possible termination points for each determined container is selected based on a selection scheme in order to provide the selected number of the possible termination points to the user.

Abstract: A first user equipment UE operating in a first/strong transmission mode determines that a second UE is operating in a second/weak mode and is allocated a same radio resource as the first UE. The first UE determines a transport format for transmissions to the second UE and uses that to decode and cancel a transmission received on the radio resource which is directed to the second UE, mitigating interference with a further transmission directed to the first UE. Various examples are given of specific resource allocation signaling used to determine that the second UE is operating in the second mode and is allocated the same radio resource, such as implicitly by a specific downlink control indication format or an explicit indication in a resource allocation directed to the first UE. The first UE can determine the transport format of the second UE from network signaling.
