Abstract: Methods of operating a user equipment UE are discussed. An access category may be determined from a plurality of access categories and at least one access identity may be determined from a plurality of access identities to be applied for an access attempt. An establishment cause may be determined for the access attempt based on the access category determined from the plurality of access categories and based on the at least one access identity from the plurality of access identities. A connection request message for the access attempt may be transmitted to a wireless communication network, with the connection request message including the establishment cause determined based on the access category and based on the at least one access identity. Related devices are also discussed.

Abstract: A node of a wireless communication network controls connectivity of a radio device to the wireless communication network. The connectivity is based on parallel usage of a first radio technology and a second radio technology. Depending on subscription data associated with the radio device, the node controls a restriction of scheduling of radio transmissions of the radio device for one of the first radio technology and the second radio technology.

Abstract: A node (150) of a wireless communication network controls connectivity of a radio device (10) to the wireless communication network. The connectivity is based on parallel usage of a first radio technology and a second radio technology. Depending on subscription data associated with the radio device (10), the node controls a restriction of scheduling of radio transmissions of the radio device (10) for one of the first radio technology and the second radio technology.

Abstract: User Equipment (UE) receiving non-voice packet switched service in an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestial Radio Access Network (eUTRAN) cell undergoes handover to a circuit switched GSM/Edge Radio Access Network (GERAN)/UTRAN cell in response to a requirement for voice service. The voice service is established in the circuit switched domain of a GERAN/UTRAN cell to ensure service continuity regardless of UE mobility that would otherwise not be possible if the voice service was established in the eUTRAN cell. A Gs-like interface between a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) of the CS Core Network and the Mobility Management Entity (MME) of the Evolved Packet Core provides an interface for page requests and location update procedures to be performed.

Abstract: A user terminal for use with a communications system. The user terminal comprises a non-volatile memory and a subscriber identity authentication unit configured in use to communicate with a removable subscriber identity module and with said communications system in order to authenticate a subscriber identity stored in said subscriber identity module. A recording unit is provided for recording a used and authenticated subscriber identity in said non-volatile memory, while an emergency call initiation unit is configured to initiate an unauthenticated emergency call in the absence of a subscriber identity module, and to retrieve said used and authenticated subscriber identity from said non-volatile memory and to provide the retrieved subscriber identity to the communications system during the initiation.
