Abstract: A method for attaching a first radio base station (RBS) to a core network via a radio access network (RAN), wherein en a forwarding of data within the RAN is being controlled by a Software Defined Network, SDN, Controller, the RAN comprising a plurality of further RBSs being capable of providing radio connection to a plurality of UEs, and being under the control of the SDN Controller. At least one UE from the plurality of UEs is selected, wherein the selected at least one UE is located within an overlapping radio connectivity area of the first RBS and one of the further RBSs, denoted as a second RBS. The SDN Controller activates control onto the at least one selected UE. The SDN Controller connects the first RBS to the second RBS via the radio connections of the at least one selected UE. The SDN Controller enables the forwarding of data between the first RBS and the core network via the second RBS.

Abstract: The application relates to Network Function Virtualisation as standardised by ETSI GS NFV002 VI.2.1. The standard provides for dynamic instantiation and management of VNF instances. When using base stations as platforms on which VNFs can be instantiated, it has to be decided how this is done in an efficient way. The application proposes that in case a UE moves from an area covered by a source base station (210) to an area covered by a target base station (220), at least one VNF (250) is deployed on the target base station. This VNF may be a clone of a VNF (240) hosted by the source bases station.

Abstract: A distribution server for geographically targeted message distribution to a client is used for providing an application service, in particular a vehicular traffic related application service, such as a Cooperative Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS) service. An interworking device connects, e.g., via a cellular network connection, to the distribution server. Further, the interworking device connects via an ad-hoc network connection to the client. On behalf of the client, the interworking device performs registration for the application service at the distribution server. On the basis of the registration, the interworking device forwards at least one message of the application service between the distribution server and the client.

Abstract: A method, by a multipath control entity (100), to control a transmission of a user data plane stream via different network technologies between a mobile entity (200) and a proxy (300), wherein the user data plane stream is exchanged between the mobile entity (200) and an application server (410) connected to the proxy (300). It is determined which network technologies are supported by the mobile entity (200), and which network technologies are available for the mobile entity (200). In a split decision, it is determined that the user data plane stream is split into at least two stream parts and over which of the supported network technologies each of the at least two stream parts is transmitted between the mobile entity (200) and proxy (300) taking into account the supported and available network technologies.

Abstract: A plurality of mobile robots provide a radio coverage area of a wireless communication network. Each mobile robot comprises a radio base station of the wireless communication network. A mobile robot of the plurality of mobile robots moves to a geographical position to deploy as part of a daisy chain loop of the mobile robots upon receiving instruction from a maintenance base. Upon receiving further instruction from the maintenance base, the mobile robot moves to a further geographical position as part of a circular shift operation performed by the mobile robots deployed to the daisy chain loop to maintain the radio coverage area and send a further mobile robot of the mobile robots deployed to the daisy chain loop to the maintenance base.

Abstract: A device moving in a space determines one or more zones around it, wherein the one or more zones are linked to the device and move together with the device through the space. The device detects if a border of a first of the one or more zones starts to intersect or stops to intersect with a border of an area inside the space. If the detecting is affirmative, the device transmits information related to the intersection. An apparatus receives this information from the device and adapts a status value of the area in dependence of the received information.
