The method includes sending data from a cache (18) to a user terminal (16d), wherein the cache (18) is located at an interface device (12a-c); determining that the data is sent to the user terminal (16d) from the cache (18) without passing a core network (14); and generating and sending a dummy message (20) through the core network (14) to a device (22) having an internet protocol, IP, address.

Abstract: The technology pertains to wireless telecommunications systems in which a quality of service is handled for a service provided to a user equipment when the user equipment transitions from being served by a source network to being served by a target network. The quality of service is handled even if the source and the target networks implement proprietary QCIs. In general, a source QCI, which may be proprietary to the source network, is remapped to a predetermined QCI that identifies a set of predetermined QCI characteristics whose values are similar to the source QCI characteristics identified by the source QCI. The predetermined QCI and the set of predetermined QCI characteristics are used by the target network to provide the service to the user equipment after the transition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method in a second communication node within a communications network supporting a handover process of a first communication device from a first cell in the communications network to a second cell of the second communication node in the communications network. The second communication node determines (12) that a handover is to be performed of the first communication device from the first cell to the second cell. The second communication node then estimates (T4) an offered bit rate for the communication device within the second cell of the second communication node based on at least one parameter of the second cell. The offered bit rate is then transmitted (T6) in a message to the first communication device from the second communication node.

Abstract: A method and terminal for providing Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and other communication services to a group of users, such as a family, using an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network. A group private user identity is associated with a group public user identity and with a plurality of individual public user identities, each of which is associated with a different user in the group. Utilizing the group private User ID and the group public User ID, a browser registers a group subscription with the IMS network. When an individual user enters an identifier such as a PIN, the individual is then registered with the IMS network, while maintaining the group registration with the IMS network and the IPTV network. Individual users can be changed without having to restart the browser.
