Abstract: The present invention relates a user equipment UE registered for Non-IP communication services performs an application function. For providing application data via a radio access network, a method involves receiving a paging message and a subsequent radio link control, RLC, message in accordance with a Non-IP communication protocol. The paging message and the RLC message are initiated by an application server associated with the application function. The UE retrieves a network address of the application server in accordance with an IP communication protocol stack, and activates use of the IP communication protocol stack.

Abstract: The present invention relates to determine a common application time-base for different positionally fixed wireless stations, which perform a timing application in different unsynchronized radio-access-network cells, a method comprises providing to the wireless stations a timing-report instruction. It instructs the wireless stations to perform a cell-search procedure and to determine a respective set of time synchronization information retrieved from any detected base station with reference to its respective time base. If more than one set of time synchronization information from a corresponding number of detected base stations has been retrieved, the wireless stations provides timing synchronization data indicative of the retrieved sets of time synchronization information from the detected base stations.

Abstract: Herein provided is a method for operating a base station of a cellular network. The base station serves user equipment camping thereon, or connected thereto, and agrees with the user equipment to a periodic dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Upon determining that an uplink occasion of that schedule is missed by the user equipment, the user equipment is considered as unavailable for communicating at said uplink occasion in relation with the base station. If it is considered unavailable, it instead maintains a presently active dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Otherwise it cancels the presently active dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Other embodiments are disclosed.
