Abstract: A video stream is provided by a first meeting device. The video stream is displayed at least in a second meeting device in a visual digital meeting. The video stream is provided by a camera targeted towards an environment of a user of the first meeting device. A message is received from the second meeting device. The message includes a request for zooming the displayed video stream to be displayed at the second meeting device. A type of the visual digital meeting determined and any face and/or object present anywhere in the video stream provided by the camera is identified. It is then decided whether the request for zooming fulfils a first criteria based on the determined type and any identified face and/or object present. When the request fulfils the first criteria the requested zooming is allowed, and when the request does not fulfil the requested zooming is denied.

The method includes determining a pre-grant assistance information for the communication device based on at least one of (i) a status of a radio resource management function and any other pre-grant assistance information sent by the network node to other communication devices connected to the network node and (ii) information received from other network nodes. The pre-grant assistance information includes a value for a future grant to the communication device per leg of the two or more legs. The method further includes transmitting to the communication device an indication including the pre-grant assistance information per leg of the two or more legs.

Abstract: A method performed by a first device for handling a sharing of a presentation in an ongoing real-time communication session between the first device and a second device in a communications network is provided. The presentation being displayed in a first screen of the first device and is to be shared in a second screen of the second device. Upon initiating the sharing of the presentation, the first device triggers a front facing camera at the second device to capturing one or more second images towards a face of a second user of the second device. The first device obtains a feedback relating to whether or not the presentation to be shared is visible at the second screen. The feedback being based on an examining of the one or more second images to identify reflections reflecting the presentation when displayed in the second screen that corresponds to the presentation displayed in the first screen.

Abstract: A first radio base station (BS), a second BS and a core network (CN) node are provided, as are methods of operating the BSs and CN node when a first base station is to be replaced by a second BS. The first BS transfers to the second BS, information indicative of a BS state associated with the operation of the first BS; stops transmission to/from all wireless devices (WDs) to which the first BS is currently providing radio access; and transfers, to the second BS, information indicative of a plurality of WD states, a WD state being associated with a WD. The second BS then provides radio access to WDs, to which the first BS has hitherto provided radio access. The CN node can identify a need to replace a first BS; send a swap-in request to the first BS; and send a swap-out request to the second BS.

Abstract: A user terminal emulation server provides communication services through input and/or output (I/O) user devices to a user. The user terminal emulation server is configured to register the user with a network entity providing the communication services, and predict that an I/O user device will become proximately located to the user. Based on the prediction that the I/O user device will become proximately located to the user, the user terminal emulation server determines that the I/O user device has an I/O user interface that satisfies a capability criterion to enable the user to use a first one of the communication services. Based on the satisfaction of the capability criterion and before the user is predicted to become proximately located to the I/O user device, the user terminal emulation server signals the I/O user device to prepare for using the I/O user interface to provide the first communication service.

Abstract: A user terminal emulation server for providing a communication service through one or more input and/or output (I/O) user devices to a user. The user terminal emulation server is configured to register user information with a network entity providing the communication service, and predict likelihood the user will become proximately located to an I/O user device. The user terminal emulation server is further configured to determine discontinuous reception (DRX) settings based on the predicted likelihood the user will become proximately located to the I/O user device, and to configure the I/O user device to use the DRX settings for receiving downlink radio communications from a radio access network (RAN) which are related to the communication service. Related methods and computer program products are disclosed.

Abstract: A user terminal emulation server maintains a database identifying network addresses, UI capabilities, and locations of I/O user devices. Communication sessions are established between first and second user terminal emulation applications and respective first and second I/O user devices proximately located to respective first and second users and which provide acceptable combined I/O user interfaces to the first and second users. When a direct path criterion is satisfied for creating a direct traffic flow, a traffic flow that was from the first I/O user devices to the first user terminal emulation applications is redirected to now be from the first I/O user device to the second I/O user device without passing through either of the first and second user terminal emulation applications.

Abstract: A user terminal emulation server is provided that provides operational functionality of a user terminal using a networked set of I/O user devices that are determined to be proximately located to a user and to have user interface capabilities that are combinable to provide the user with the ability to receive or initiate a communication service with another user terminal through a network entity. The operations for emulating a user terminal may alternatively be performed by an I/O user device that provides communication services (using other I/O user devices.

Abstract: A user terminal emulation server maintains a database identifying network addresses, UI capabilities, and communication protocols of I/O user devices. Communication sessions are established between a user terminal emulation application and a network entity and I/O user devices proximately located to a user and provide a combined I/O user interface.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods for handling data units in a communication protocol layer (e.g., PDCP) of a network node for a wireless communications network. Such methods include receiving, from a lower protocol layer, one or more first data units with corresponding first sequence numbers. Such methods include, upon expiration of a first timer, forwarding the first data units to a higher protocol layer without receiving one or more second data units, from the lower protocol layer, with corresponding second sequence numbers that are lower than the first sequence numbers. Such methods include forwarding, to the higher protocol layer, any of the second data units that were received from the lower protocol layer during a second time period after expiration of the first timer. Other embodiments include network nodes (e.g., base stations, UEs) configured to perform such methods, as well as computer-readable media containing instructions that embody such methods.
