Abstract: A mobile communications device having an LTE radio technology and at least one other technology (for example, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) determines whether transmissions using the other radio technology causes, or is likely to cause interference in reception of LTE signals. If such interference exists or is likely, then a signal indicating interference is sent to the LTE base station, which can take action to try to mitigate or prevent such interference. The mobile communications device can have a timer so that the interference indicating signal is only sent periodically, either at regular intervals, or whenever the interference is determined to exist after the timer period has expired. In some cases, a signal indicating that the interference level has reduced can be sent, again either at regular intervals, to whenever the interference level changes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for enabling a device that needs to send high priority and high bandwidth user plane traffic to send the user plane traffic even in the case where a group bandwidth has an upper limit in group-based communication. According to the technique, when an MTC device that is to send high priority and high bandwidth user plane traffic sends a service request to a network node (P-GW 213a), the network node allows use of a minimum bandwidth bearer in the case where the upper limit of the group bandwidth is exceeded. The MTC device sends a traffic sending request to an MTC server 214a via the bearer. The MTC server stops traffic of an appropriate other MTC device, to secure a bandwidth for the MTC device having the high priority and high bandwidth user plane traffic.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate avoidance of duplicative resource allocation and/or erroneous service charges via unambiguously indicating an entity responsible for quality of service (QoS) initiation. In one example, an indication is provided to a mobile device to indicate a preference for network-initiated QoS or a preference for device-initiated QoS. QoS for a data flow can be established in accordance with the indication. For instance, the mobile device initiates QoS when the indication specifies a preference for device-initiated QoS while a network establishes QoS when the indication specifies a preference for network-initiated QoS.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an apparatus and method supporting handover of mobile relay nodes, “RNs” (56), in a wireless communication network (60), in a manner that advantageously differentiates handling of control- and user-plane connections of the wireless communication devices (58) supported by the RN (56). Rather than conventionally anchoring the control-plane connections of relay-connected UEs (58) at the donor radio base station (54-1) supporting the RN (56), the donor radio base station (54-1) includes or is communicatively linked to an anchor node (100) that, from the perspective of the involved control plane entity or entities (70) in a supporting Core Network, “CN” (68), anchors those connections. The anchor node (100) facilitates handover between donor radio base stations (54-1, 54-2) such that the control-plane connections are retained at the anchor node (100) while the user-plane connections are switched to the target radio base station (54-2) receiving the RN (56) in handover.
