Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to a method for handling a service request from a requesting entity in a telecommunications network. A first service request for a particular service is received from the requesting entity. A sequence identifier is assigned to the requesting entity from which the first service request is received. The first service request is rejected by sending a reject message to the requesting entity and the assigned sequence identifier is also communicated to the requesting entity. At some later time, the sequence identifier is transmitted (e.g. broadcasted) in the telecommunications network in order. A second service request for the particular service is then received from the requesting entity and the serving entity now allows the request for the service.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and network for receiving at least a first access request from a first device and a second access request from a second device. A first message is transmitted from the network to the first device, wherein the first message comprises a first access time or first access time window. Similarly, a second message is transmitted from the network to the second device, wherein the second message comprises a second access time or second access time window. The first access time or first access time window is different from the second access time or second access time window. Subsequent to the first message, the network receives the first access request from the first communication device at or after the first access time or within the first access time window and, subsequent to the second message, the network receives the second access request at or after the second access time or within the second access time window from the second device.

Abstract: An infrastructure and method is disclosed for controlling wireless access to a telecommunications infrastructure for a device. A first access grant time interval applicable for granting access for the device to the telecommunications infrastructure is stored in a device register system. The first access grant time interval is applied when the device requests access to the telecommunications infrastructure via a first network node of the telecommunications infrastructure. However, a second access grant time interval is applied in a second network node of the telecommunications infrastructure when the device requests access via the second network node. The second access grant time interval is applicable for granting access for the device to the telecommunications infrastructure and is different from the first access grant time interval.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling activation of at least one terminal in a machine-type communication application using a wireless access network. The wireless access network comprises a number of location areas, each of the location areas comprising a plurality of cells. The terminal has been assigned an identifier. First, a location identifier is received from a location provider, the location identifier indicating a subset of cells of at least one of the location areas. Activation of the at least one terminal is then controlled by transmitting at least one broadcast message on at least one cell broadcast channel in the cells of the subset indicated by the location identifier. The broadcast message contains the identifier or identifier part assigned to the terminal, such that the at least one terminal is signalled that the broadcast message is intended for him An activation control system and a mobile terminal for use with such a system are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for congestion control in a telecommunications network. The telecommunications network supports one or more active data sessions between a server and at least a first and second communication terminal by providing at least a first and a second bearer for these terminals. The at least first and second communication terminal are assigned to a group for which a common group identifier is or has been stored. Further, a first individual congestion parameter for the first bearer and a second individual congestion parameter for the second bearer of the first and second communication terminal are or have been stored. A group load indicator is defined for the group of terminals corresponding to the common group identifier. The group load indicator is monitored and compared with a group load condition for the group of the at least first and second communication terminals corresponding to the common group identifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transferring data from at least a first communication module and a second communication module to, respectively, a first data processing centre and a second data processing centre via a circuit switched telecommunications network. A first and second connection request containing respective first and second pre-provisioned telephone numbers from the first and second communication modules are received in the network. The first and second telephone numbers are processed such that the network refrains from authenticating the first and second communication modules. Subsequently first and a second circuit switched data connections are established with the first and second communication modules for receiving data. The data can be routed from the first communication module to the first data processing centre and from the second communication module to the second data processing centre in accordance with the first and second telephone numbers, respectively.

Abstract: Method of registering a mobile subscriber in a mobile network and network unit for a mobile network having a home location register in which data related to a plurality of active mobile subscribers are stored. A first attempt of a mobile subscriber to attach to the mobile network is detected, and subsequently the home location register is updated by entering data related to the mobile subscriber in the home location register. Data related to a mobile subscriber which is not yet registered in the home location register may be stored in a second register, and the data related to the mobile subscriber is transferred from the second register to the home location register upon detection of the first attempt.

Abstract: System for mobile telecommunication, comprising a first mobile network (KTm), connected to a first nonmobile network (KTv) having routing means (X). Terminals connected to the nonmobile network may set up a connection with mobile terminals having the first or a second mobile network as their home network. A mirror register (MLR), connected to the routing means in the nonmobile network, is used to record a copy of the user profile transferred by the HLR register of the home network of a roaming mobile terminal to the VLR register of the non-home network. The user profile stored in the mirror register in this manner is then used—together with the VLR—to directly drive the routing means X of the nonmobile network KTv, as a result of which the routing path is considerably shortened.
