Abstract: In order for making MTC more efficient and/or secure, a base station forming a communication system connects a UE to a core network. A node serves as an entering point to the core network for a service provider, and transmits traffic between the service provider and the UE. The node establishes, as a connection to the base station, a first connection for directly transceiving messages between the node and the base station. Alternatively, the node establishes a second connection for transparently transceiving the messages through a different node that is placed within the core network and has established a different secure connection to the base station.

Abstract: A communication system is disclosed in which a base station receives, from a communication device, NAS signalling for establishing a connection via the base station. The base station forwards the NAS signalling to a default MME for setting up the connection to the default MME. The default MME sends, responsive to the base station forwarding the NAS said signalling, a message identifying an MME group to which the NAS signalling should be rerouted. The base station selects an MME based on the message identifying the MME group, and forwards the NAS signalling to the selected MME, and includes information indicating that the NAS signalling shall not be rerouted.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, media, and systems implemented to handling timer-based resizing events based on activity detection can trigger a start of a resize timer. The resize timer can periodically provide a notification to check for resize activity in a user interface displayed on a display device. In response to the notification, an absence of the resize activity can be determined after a threshold inactivity time period has expired from the start of the resize timer. In response, a stop of the resize timer can be triggered. After triggering the stop, a first resize activity associated with a first timestamp can be detected in the user interface. A restart of the resize timer from the first timestamp can be triggered to periodically provide the notification to check for resize activity in the user interface. Subsequent continuation or stopping of the resize timer can be based on further presence or absence of resize activity.
