Abstract: The present invention discloses a network handover method, where after UE in an LTE network requests circuit switched fallback CSFB, an MME instructs an eNB to move the UE from the LTE network to a 2G or 3G network, and requests an MSC to hand over the UE from the LTE network to a CS domain of the 2G or 3G network for the CSFB, so that the 2G or 3G network allocates a CS domain resource to the UE. After handing over to the CS domain, the UE may perform a CS domain call. By using embodiments of the present invention, an access delay is reduced when the UE accesses the CS domain of the 2G or 3G network, duration of an entire voice call is shortened, and user experience is improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates various embodiments for improving power headroom reporting for UEs being in an enhanced coverage mode. The UE may be configured to always transmit a virtual power headroom report to the eNB, when operating in the enhanced coverage mode. Or, the UE may be configured to always transmit a virtual power headroom report to the eNB, when operating in the enhanced coverage mode and at the same time being power limited. Moreover, the UE may determine a repetition level for transmissions in the uplink and/or may determine a repetition level for transmissions in the downlink. The power headroom report can then be used to transport this information (either one of, or both of, the uplink/downlink repetition levels), by using predefined codepoints in the power headroom report.

Abstract: A method and devices for reducing the delay in end-to-end delivery of network packets may be achieved by having the transmission (TX) side of the device, tag each cell with a unique packet identifier and with a byte offset parameter where the tagging allows the reception (RX) side of the destination device to perform on-the-fly assembly of cells into packets by directly placing them at corresponding host buffer, and the method may be done for multiple packets concurrently, and hence store and forward buffering is not needed in either the source or the destination devices and the lowest possible end-to-end cut-through latency is achieved.

Abstract: In a wireless multi-hop relay network arranged in a tree topology, the base station and one or more relay stations are associated as a virtual base station (VBS). The base station and each relay station have a unique virtual base station identifier (VBS-ID) associated with the path defined by the base station and the one or more relay stations. A relay station in the branch uses its VBS-ID for communicating with an attached subscriber station (e.g. a mobile station) such that communications between the base station and subscriber station occur via the VBS. Subscriber station data communications are relayed between the base station and the one or more relay stations over the VBS via a tunnel connection. The VBS is auto configurable. Mobility for subscriber stations and 10 relay stations is provided through reconfiguration of VBS's.
