  • Patent number: 10425804
    Abstract: In an embodiment, there is provided a method for service differentiation in a network sharing architecture for a mobile network wherein an Access Network AN is shared by different Service Providers SPs, said method comprising at least one step based on an identification of an SP by an SP identity that does not require this SP to own a PLMD-Id, for service differentiation in said AN.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2019
    Assignee: Alcatel Lucent
    Inventors: Cristina Gallmann, Laurent Thiebaut, Eric Brigant

  • Patent number: 8081607
    Abstract: A method of operating a mobile communication network includes defining at least one criterion of inclusion of network objects in at least one group of network objects also referred to as an object zone, constructing at least one object zone from network objects satisfying said at least one criterion and performing at least one radio network optimization operation using said at least one object zone constructed in this way.

  • Publication number: 20060239210
    Abstract: A subsystem for use in a system (OO) for optimizing and/or managing and/or supervising a communications network including network elements (C1-C3) with known geographical positions through which passes traffic defined locally by analysis data is dedicated to analyzing analysis data (D). The system comprises, firstly, an interface (I) adapted to select, firstly, network elements (Ci), secondly, an analysis to be effected on selected analysis data relating to said selected network elements and, thirdly, a type of analysis result, and, secondly, analyzer means (MA) adapted to effect each selected analysis on said selected analysis data taking account of the respective positions of said selected network elements and to deliver in a cartographic form analysis results conforming to said selected type, with a view to use thereof by said network optimization and/or management and/or supervision system (OO).

  • Publication number: 20060146707
    Abstract: A device (D) is dedicated to processing traffic data for a system (OO) for optimizing a communications network including network elements (Ci) through which passes traffic defined locally by parameter values. The device (D) comprises processor means (MT) arranged: firstly to determine for selected elements of said network a traffic model from successive measured values of a parameter representative of said traffic; and secondly to compare the traffic models determined in this way to base traffic models each representative of one type of traffic so as to associate a base traffic model with one of said network elements when a measured traffic model that corresponds to it is comparable to said base traffic model.

  • Publication number: 20030125088
    Abstract: Method for arranging a cell reselection process between mobile station (14) and base station (12) in a digital cellular communications system, the mobile station (14) location is known by a base station system (11) at the cell level and the base station system (11) controls the cell reselection. The base station system (11) broadcasts a first averaging time parameter and a second averaging time parameter over a system information message associated to packet mode.
