Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for data transmission in a cellular network for wireless communication, comprising at least one base node, to at least one user equipment camping on said base node, the method comprising the steps for the base node of: —transmitting in at least one frequency band at least two frame structure settings and one master information block, the master information block comprising data fields indicating to an access information channel for at least one of the frame structure settings in the frequency band, wherein the access information channel of a frame structure setting provides access information indicating to the part of the frequency band reserved to respective frame structure setting, —transmitting user relevant data in said part of the frequency band configured according to said frame structure setting.

Abstract: Provided is a method to operate a base station of a cellular network, the base station being capable of supporting bandwidth limited operation of user equipments camping on said base station, comprising the step for said base station of broadcasting a set of system information items. The set of system information items additionally comprises a first system information item indicating that camping is allowed for at least one first user equipment supporting bandwidth limited operation only. The set of system information items comprise a second system information item indicating whether newly camping is allowed for at least one second user equipments supporting additionally other modes of operation than bandwidth-limited operation, under the condition that said second user equipment is intending to use at least one of the features specific to a base station supporting bandwidth-limited operation. Other embodiments disclosed.

Abstract: User equipment communicates by means of a primary base node and at least one secondary base node of a cellular network that are respectively assigned to different radio access networks. The user equipment sends a first message comprising its available capabilities to the primary base node, and receives a first indication from the primary base node relating to the capabilities being used by the primary base node. It sends a second message to the secondary base node, comprising those capabilities not being used by the primary base node. and receives a second indication from the secondary base node relating to the capabilities being used by the secondary base node. It sends a third message with still unused capabilities to the primary base node. and initiates a communication link with a remote terminal by means of the primary and the secondary base nodes using the configured capabilities.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for positioning of a user equipment operating in a cellular network, the user equipment being configured to ascertain location information of base stations of the cellular network. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining cell specific reference signals from a serving base station and at least one other base station, obtaining from the serving base station a synchronization indication relating to time synchronization among the serving base station and the at least one other base station, determining a time difference of arrival of the reference signals of at least two base stations that are time synchronized, and determining a position of the user equipment based on the location information of the respective base stations and the determined time differences of arrival.

Abstract: A method for data transmission between a user equipment operating in a cellular network, and a control terminal accessible from the cellular network. The user equipment operates in a communication connection to the control terminal by means of first and second wireless carriers, with one of the control terminal and the user equipment acting as transmitting apparatus, and the other as receiving apparatus. The transmitting apparatus sends content as a first data packet over the first wireless carrier and as a second data packet over the second wireless carrier. The receiving apparatus attempts to receive the first data packet over the first wireless carrier and the second data packet over the second wireless carrier, and sends over the first and second wireless carriers a message indicating whether at least one of the first and second data packet was successfully received.
