  • Patent number: 11937340
    Abstract: Handling of UE capability information in a mobile telecommunications network wherein an eNodeB receives information regarding the UE capability information from the UE and stores the information. The eNodeB sends the UE capability information to the EPC, i.e., to an MME, which receives and stores the UE capability information. When the UE transits from idle to active state, does an initial attach, or when a part of the UE capabilities have changed, it sends a message to the eNodeB regarding the update. The eNodeB forwards the message to the MME, which sends a response associated with the previously stored UE capability information to the eNodeB. The eNodeB decides whether the UE capabilities stored in the MME is up-to-date based on the message from the UE and the response from the MME. If the UE holds updated UE capabilities the eNodeB can request updated UE capability information from the UE.

  • Patent number: 10693937
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for identifying a source of quality degradation for a media call flowing in a first direction and a second direction between a mobile-originating user equipment (UE) and a mobile-terminating (MT) UE are presented. In an example method, a network node obtains a set of multiple rules specified respectively for multiple candidate sources of quality degradation for the media call in the first direction. These rules indicate whether a particular candidate source is an actual source of quality degradation based on values of certain key performance indicators (KPIs). The network node identifies, from among the multiple candidate sources of quality degradation, one or more sources of quality degradation by evaluating one or more rules from the set of multiple rules.
