Patent number: 11190992Abstract: A device communicates with a terminal in association with at least a first other device, using at least two carriers, wherein at least a first carrier towards the terminal is established from the device and at least a second carrier is established towards the terminal from the first other device. The device receives a report indicative of a connection quality of the first carrier, responsive thereto issues a request for handover of the first carrier towards a second device, sends relocation information in relation to the first carrier towards the first other device, and only after sending that relocation information, commands the terminal to perform a handover of the first carrier to the second device. Such device, in cooperation with other devices, accomplishes an optimized handover in terms of a primary component carrier relocation from a serving eNB towards a target eNB, while a secondary component carrier is maintained.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Seppo Ilmari Vesterinen, Johanna Katariina Pekonen, Henri Markus Koskinen

Patent number: 9807809Abstract: One kind of communication is referred to as device-to-device D2D communication. Misuse is an issue for this type of communication. For example a public safety network may permit D2D communication to operate in an area following a natural or other incident where the controlling network entity loses coverage. However this permission to allow D2D communication without the controlling entity can lead to users of D2D apparatus such as public safety communications devices configured for use in a first region being able to perform D2D communications in a second region in licensed bands that are illegal or not permitted. Furthermore, each device should be configured to setup an ad hoc network using D2D only in those areas where the licensed bands can be used legally by the device. Therefore, each device determines its position and blocks D2D operation when outside of a geographical area to which it was configured.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2012Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Vinh Van Phan, Ling Yu, Kari Veikko Horneman, Johanna Katariina Pekonen

Patent number: 9204339Abstract: There is provided a mechanism for controlling an autonomous mobility procedure of a user equipment. A list of candidate communication cells usable as target cells for the autonomous mobility procedure conducted by the UE is transmitted by the network to the UE. Furthermore, when the list is sent to the communication element, preparation information is sent to the candidate communication cells contained in the list sent to the user equipment for preparing the candidate communication cells for a potential autonomous mobility procedure conducted by the user equipment. When a cell is detected, the user equipment uses the list to determine whether the detected cell is a candidate cell for the autonomous mobility procedure. When the cell receives an access request, it uses the preparation information for determining that the requesting UE is conducting an autonomous mobility procedure, and obtains configuration date for immediately providing service to the user equipment.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Johanna Katariina Pekonen, Antti Anton Toskala, Klaus Ingemann Pedersen

Patent number: 8831605Abstract: A method for a mobile communications network where a cell is identifiable by a global identifier unique in the mobile communications network and/or a short identifier re-usable in another cell of the mobile communications network. A registry associates information representing a location within the coverage area of the mobile communications network to a defined group of short identifiers. When an access point sends a request for registration to provide services of a cell in a mobile communications network, the request includes information indicating a location of the access point. The registry is used to select a short identifier to be applied in a cell of an access point before registering the access point to provide services of a cell in the mobile communications network.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2009Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Troels Emil Kolding, Christian Markwart, Johanna Katariina Pekonen, Hanns Juergen Schwarzbauer, Ingo Viering
