  • Publication number: 20170374563
    Abstract: In some example embodiments there is provided a method. The method may include receiving an allocation of an antenna sector and a frequency band, wherein the allocation is selected from a plurality of sectors, wherein adjacent sectors in the plurality of sectors operate at different frequencies and intersect at a midpoint to enable a reduction in interference among the adjacent sectors; and receiving and/or transmitting, in response to the received allocation, on the allocated antenna sector and frequency band. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

  • Patent number: 9609683
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in which the network is informed of a connection break with a device having multiple SIMs. In this regard, from the perspective of the device, information regarding a connection break with the device is provided to a network entity associated with a first network, the device communicating with the first network via a first subscription. The method may also cause the connection break to be initiated and causing another connection to be established with the device via a second subscription. From the perspective of the network, a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in which the network receives information regarding the connection break and, based on the information, performs one or more network optimization actions.

  • Publication number: 20160277917
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to cause a plurality of network identifiers to be stored in a memory; assign a priority value to each of a plurality of networks; in an instance in which a mobile terminal is roaming, identify available networks; and select an available network based on the priority value of stored network identifiers. The selection of the available networks may further include determining the signal strength of the available networks; and further basing the selection of an available network on the signal strength of the available networks.

  • Patent number: 8818448
    Abstract: An apparatus for enabling user control of a fallback capability for circuit switched domain support may include a processor and a memory. The memory may store executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the apparatus to receive a service indication for a service related to a radio access technology not supported by a current serving domain, determine, based on previously stored user defined input, a response to the service indication with respect to conducting a fallback procedure to a radio access technology that supports the service, and execute the response based on a result of the determining.
