Abstract: A method includes receiving information indicating a user equipment is to be handed over from a source base station and scheduling transmission of a control channel for said user equipment in dependence on identity information associated with said user equipment.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for communication are provided. The apparatus is configured to receive from an upper scheduler data for user terminals served by the apparatus, wherein a first set of terminals is connected to more than one cell and a second set of user terminals is not connected to more than one cell; receive from an upper scheduler physical layer resources to be allocated for the first set of user terminals; determine physical layer resources for the second set of user terminals and allocate the received and determined resources for the user terminals.

Abstract: A method of exchanging data in a communications network is provided. A control channel channelization code is assigned for transmitting user specific data channel allocation information to a particular mobile station (MS). The data channel allocation information indicates which part of the transmission time interval (TTI) available for data can be used by that particular MS. The control channel channelization code is shared in a TDMA fashion between the MSs during the TTI in a proportion equal to that in which the data channel channelization code is shared between the MSs such that each MS is allocated a share of the control channel channelization code in that part of the TTI. The control channel channelization code is then transmitted in a part of the TTI corresponding to that in which the data channel channelization code is transmitted for a particular MS.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for communication are provided. In the proposed solution communication on a shared channel utilizes a first format based on sub frame length and/or a second format based on Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access symbol length.

Abstract: There is provided initiating a handover of a connection of user equipment, the connection including a path from an access network to a core network and switching the path to the core network on the basis of data received on the connection exceeding a threshold.

Abstract: In an embodiment there is established for a user equipment UE a first discontinuous reception DRX period of a first radio access technology RAT using at least one parameter that is common with a second DRX period of a second RAT for the UE. From the perspective of the network, transmission opportunities to the UE using the first RAT are arranged according to the established first DRX period. From the perspective of the UE, reception opportunities at the UE using the first radio access technology are arranged according to the established first DRX period. There may be one access node or two cooperating access nodes serving the UE with the different RATs. In different embodiments the DRX active periods may be purposefully aligned or misaligned. Examples of such a common DRX parameter include DRX cycle, DRX inactivity timer, and DRX on-duration time.

Abstract: A method of allocating resources in a communications network is provided, where the resources are allocated to mobile stations belonging to different network operators. It is determined whether capacity is available in the network for established connections between the mobile stations and the communications network. If it is determined that the capacity is not available for the established connections, the resources are split according to a pre-determined share between the network operators.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for inter-radio access technology carrier aggregation mobility enhancement. The apparatus receives a mobility reporting parameter from a first network node. The apparatus measures parameters of signals received from the first network node and one or more second network nodes based on the measurement reporting parameters. The apparatus generates a measurement report based on the measurement reporting parameters and the measured parameters of the signals, transmits the measurement report to the first network node, and receives a mobility parameter from the first network node based on the measurement report. The measurement reporting parameters include report configuration information for configuring the measurement report based on measured parameters obtained for designated signals received from the first network node and for signals received from the one or more second network nodes.
