Abstract: A method for configuring a connection between a User Equipment, UE, and a 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP, compliant mobile communications network at the UE. The method comprises checking a service equivalency indicator, the service equivalency indicator indicating zero or more mobile communications networks the UE is permitted to transmit a new request for a PDN connection corresponding to a previously rejected request for a PDN connection.

Abstract: A method of operating a mobile communications network arranged to communicate data packets between a mobile terminal and a packet data network via one or more routers, wherein the one or more routers include routing information for routing data packets, the method comprising establishing a data packet pathway for communicating data packets between a first Internet Protocol, IP, address associated with the mobile terminal and a second IP address associated with the packet data network, the data packet pathway including a first local gateway, wherein a local gateway is a first point within the mobile communications network through which all data packets communicated over the data packet pathway from the second IP address to the first IP address must pass; communicating one or more data packets between the first and second IP addresses via the data packet pathway; selecting a second local gateway; updating the routing information of at least one of the routers such that the second local gateway replaces the firs

Abstract: A device is disclosed. The device includes a communication unit configured to transmit a subscription request to a primary subscriber device and receive a provisioning profile in response to the subscription request and a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) configured to be provisioned based on the received provisioning profile.

Abstract: A communication system (28), comprises a master device (44) and slave device (30). Consequential to negotiations within the system (28) and having regard to system capacity and a relative hierarchy that exists between on-going communications, a bandwidth used for an on-going communication between the master device (44) and the slave device (30) is modified in proportion to a substantially instantaneous data rate requirement of the communication. As such, the system allows fluctuations in the amount of information, transmitted in a fixed time through an optimization of an available and dynamically varying bandwidth, while biasing the communication resource in relation to the relative hierarchy.

Abstract: A radio communications system that utilizes multiple cells to provide radio communication services to a plurality of mobile stations. In the cells that service high concentrations of mobile stations within a very small geographic area, such as large office buildings, there are provided a plurality of radio frequency capsules within the geographic area serviced by the cell. In addition to having a base site for providing Broadcast Control Channel(BCCH), the cell contains multiple RF capsules for transmitting and receiving traffic channels as well as receiving Random Access Channel(RACH) bursts from a plurality of mobile stations in a portion of the geographic area serviced by the base site. The RF capsules do not provide a BCCH, rather the BCCH is provided by a microcell transceiver that is servicing the particular cell.
