Abstract: An autonomous network has a plurality of autonomous terminals, equipped with at least one programmable transceiver, and which are embodied to independently identify frequency ranges provided for a communication link and used to reconfigure the programmable transceiver thereof. One or more technical system states of the network, with which a specific operation of the network is described, is defined. One or more sets of rules are defined for the autonomous terminal, one rule comprising authorized operational states and/or configurations of the autonomous terminals. The effects of the actual operation state and/or configurations of the autonomous terminals on the actual system state of the network is monitored. The sets of rules and/or definition of new rules, which comprise actual operational states or configurations of the autonomous terminals, is adapted when the actual system state of the network differs from the defined system state of the network.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, in a radio communications system comprising at least one base station (BS1, BS2) provided with means for transmitting data via a communication link (BCCH; V), wherein the data is divided into a plurality of data packets and being transmitted via the communication link to at least one receiving station (UE). To reduce power consumption it is proposed that the downloading of the data packets is halted if it is determined that a data packet has not been received or a corrupted data packet has been received by the receiving station, the missing or corrupted data packet is retransmitted via the same or a different communication link at a later time.

Abstract: In a method for establishment of a connection in a radio communication system, a user terminal selects an operator, based on information on at least one operator of a radio communication system in a country-specific pilot channel, selects a radio communication system based on information on at least one radio communication system in an operator-specific pilot channel for the selected operator and carries out an access to the selected radio communication system for establishment of a connection.

Abstract: A method provides first data via a pilot channel of a radio communication system with the pilot channel with the data transmitting information data on available access possibilities. To provide the first data, second data received from at least one terminal is used, with the second data referring to the access possibilities available for the at least one terminal.

Abstract: Access-protected memory zones in network elements are localized in an operator's network that supporting the reconfiguration of SDR terminals in combination with protected data transmission methods which include methods for authenticating and authorizing the communication partners and for communicating in a protected manner, especially to protect integrity and confidentiality. Such access-protected data is provided by the terminal and is transmitted to the radio access network in the framework of negotiations and is temporarily stored therein or is generated directly in the RAN in the framework of processes related to the terminal. The generation and management of access-protected memory zones by the network operator result in a massive relief of the load to which the air interface is subject while also significantly alleviating the network infrastructure with regard to signaling.
