Abstract: A device may determine first information associated with a plurality of carriers. The first information may be associated with a plurality of user devices connected to a base station via the plurality of carriers. The device may determine second information associated with the plurality of carriers. The second information may be associated with a plurality of user devices camping on the plurality of carriers. The device may selectively perform load balancing in association with the plurality of user devices camping on the plurality of carriers based on the first information and the second information.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a gateway (MGW1) in a telecommunication system (TS1) enabling connections to be effectively established between various networks (N1, N2, N3) in the telecommunication system. The gateway comprises resources from different nodes (RNC1, MSC1, IP1, VX1) of the various networks. Servers (S1-S6) from the networks are connected to the gateway (MGW1) and co-utilize the resources, which contributes to the effective utilization of the resources. This effective utilization of the resources is supported by the resources being divided into resource groups. Specific ones of these resource groups can be utilized by solely each one of the servers. Consequently, important services such as alarm services and security services can always reach the necessary resources in the gateway. Other resource groups can be co-utilized by only a small number of the servers while additional resource groups may be co-utilized by all of the servers (S1-6).
