Abstract: There is provided shared use of licensed frequency spectrum in a mobile communications network, while maintaining confidentiality between the license holder and the licensee. Geographical information on availability of licensed frequency spectrum for shared use is obtained. A site map of a mobile communications network is obtained. The site map includes locations of sites, where wireless access to the mobile communications network is provided. A configuration of frequencies for the sites on the basis of the available licensed frequencies for shared use at each location of the sites is determined.

Abstract: A method of providing connectivity settings to a terminal device includes the steps of: (i) detecting an indication about the terminal device being at a detected location other than an expected home location for the terminal device; and (ii) sending connectivity settings to the terminal device which are appropriate to the detected location. In one variant of the invention, detection occurs as a result of a travel plan notification that the terminal device is planned to be away from the home location. In another variant, detection occurs by determining that the terminal device is, in fact, away from the home location.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless communications system, in the preferred embodiment a GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network system, that includes a Logical Link Control layer of a mobile station and a Logical Link Control layer of a Serving General Packet Radio Service Support Node that are coupled together through a Gb interface. The system operates for establishing and operating a plurality of Temporary Block Flows for transferring Packet Data Units in either an uplink or a downlink direction between the Logical Link Control layer of the mobile station and the Logical Link Control layer of the Serving General Packet Radio Service Support Node.
