Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing packet delivery and/or forwarding services via at least one PLMN, wherein a packet handling unit (1) receives from a content source (2, 3) content for a respective service that is to be transmitted via at least two different kinds of radio access networks (4, 5) of said at least one PLMN. In order to enable such a transmission, it is proposed that the packet handling unit (1) adapts the content data rate and/or the amount of data of the content separately for each radio access network (4, 5) via which the content is to be transmitted. The packet handling unit 1 then forwards the content to each of these radio access networks (4, 5) with the respective adapted data rate and/or the respective adapted amount of data. The invention equally relates to a corresponding packet handling unit and a corresponding communication system.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and system for providing location services in a mobile wireless network between a user and a location services provider, wherein the control point of periodic location requests is dynamically allocated to one of a plurality of network elements

Abstract: The invention proposes a method for transmitting a message to a plurality of user entities in a network by using a multicast service, comprising the steps of encrypting a multicast message by using ciphering, and sending the encrypted multicast message to the plurality of user entities simultaneously. The invention also proposes a corresponding multicast service control device and a corresponding user entity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling information provided to a user in a telecommunications network from at least one information provider. The network has identifying information defining the at least one type of information which can be provided to the user. The method comprises the steps of determining the type of information which an information provider proposed to provide to the user; and uses the identifying information and the determined type of information to control if the proposed information can be provided to the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing multicast and/or broadcast services to user terminals (8, 9) via a cellular network (2, 5). In order to increase the efficiency of multicast or broadcast transmissions, it is proposed that each of said user terminals (8, 9) willing to receive content data of at least one multicast and/or broadcast service enters at least once for a pre-determined time a state in which it is capable of receiving content data of said multicast and/or broadcast service. The invention equally relates to a corresponding user terminal, to a corresponding cellular network and to a corresponding mobile radio system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanism for providing location information regarding mobile terminals, especially regarding WLAN terminals. In order that the known mechanism for locating users of a mobile cellular network could be utilized for locating WLAN terminals, a location service request concerning a WLAN terminal is received and routed by the same network elements that receive and route location service requests concerning users of a mobile cellular network. However, in the case of a WLAN terminal the location service request is diverted to a predetermined network element, where the access point currently serving the WLAN terminal is identified. The location information corresponding to the said access point is then determined, and the location information is returned as the location of the terminal. The location of the serving WLAN access point thus represents the location of the WLAN terminal.

Abstract: A telecommunications system and a method for use in a telecommunications system is disclosed. The system comprises at least one station, means for determining the location of said station in said system, and means for providing information on said location of said station to a location service client The system is also provided with means for defining in dependence on information relating to the client, the accuracy of the location information to be provided to the client.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system provided with a plurality of access entities. The access entities are for provision of wireless communication for stations within the service area thereof. The communication system comprises a broadcasting element adapted to control broadcasting within at least one of the access entities and a location service function. The location service function is adapted to generate and process information that associates with the location of a station. The location service function and the broadcasting element may interact with each other.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an integration construction between a steam boiler provided with a combustion chamber and a steam turbine. The steam is conducted from the steam boiler (10) along a connector to the steam turbine (11) for rotating an electric generator (K) producing electricity. The supply water circulated via the steam boiler (10) is vaporized in a vaporizer (190) located in the steam boiler (10) and superheated in a superheater (120). The supply water is conducted into the boiler through an economizer (20) acting as a heat exchanger, where heat is transferred from the flue gases of the boiler into the supply water. The economizer (20) is provided with at least two sections, comprising at least one first economizer section (20a1) and at least one second economizer section (20a2).

Abstract: In a system comprising at least two different domains both supporting location services, the Gateway Mobile Location Center routing the location service requests receives a routing address for both domains, i.e. at least two addresses, if the target mobile station has subscription to both domains. In order to select via which domain the attempts should be f first made to obtain the location information of the target MS, the state of the target MS is found out (2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5) at least in one domain and preferably in both domains.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of invoking privacy related to a user equipment (1) capable of accepting push messages in communications network, which push message is a message a server may send to the user equipment (1) without the user of the user equipment (1) asking for it and the server having the ability to be able to act as a push message initiator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunications system and a method for use in a telecommunications system. The telecommunications system Comprises a plurality of service areas, each of the service areas being identified by a service area identifier. In accordance with the method a service area identifier is requested that associates with a mobile station. Upon receipt of the request, one service area identifier is selected from a plurality of possible service area identifiers. A predefined rule for the selection of the service area identifier is used for the selection. Location information that associates with the mobile station is then provided based on the selected service area identifier.

Abstract: A mobile equipment (10), such as a cellular radio telephone, includes a controller (18) coupled to a wireless transceiver (14, 16) for bidirectionally communicating with one of a plurality of different networks (32, 32′), such as a GSM network and a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network. A data storage module (28), referred to herein as a SIM/USIM or as a UICC (UMTS Integrated Circuit Card), is readably coupled to the controller. The module stores information for specifying at least an identification and the operational capabilities of the module in each of the plurality of different networks. The controller is responsive to a request received from one of the plurality of networks through the transceiver for accessing the module to retrieve the stored information and for transmitting the retrieved information to the requesting one of the networks through the transceiver.

Abstract: The invention is a communication system (10) and a method of communication.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating formation of a RANcast in a radio communication system. An identifier identifies when a selected number of mobile user endpoints within a cell of a radio communication system are to receive the same multicast data. When the number exceeds a selected threshold, a RANcast is implemented by a RANcast implementer in which a common channel is used to broadcast the multicast data to all the mobile user endpoints.
