Abstract: The system (1) of the invention is configured to receive information relating to relay devices (11, 17-19) present in a certain spatial area and determine relay configuration information for the relay devices from the information. The relay configuration information instructs the relay devices when to receive and/or relay data units and when not to receive and/or relay data units. The system is further configured to transmit the relay configuration information to the relay devices. The relay device of the invention is configured receive a data unit from a further device (21) or not in dependence on the received relay configuration information and/or relay a received data unit to the cellular communication network (31) or not in dependence on the received relay configuration information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system comprising a mobile device (1), a device (13b) for transmitting information, a device (15) hosting a device registry (14) and a wireless device (3a). The mobile device (1) comprises a receiver, a transmitter, storage means and a processor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling access for a user equipment to at least one local device via an intermediary system that is configured to connect to a local network and to a public network. The user equipment is connected to the public network and the at least one local device is connected to the local network. The method comprises a number of steps in the intermediary system. One of these steps is storing one or more location conditions for access for the user equipment to the at least one local device. Another step is receiving first location information of the user equipment over the public network, the first location information indicating a location of the user equipment. Yet another step is controlling access for the user equipment to the at least one local device by verifying whether the first location information satisfies the one or more location conditions. The invention further relates to the intermediary system used in the method.

Abstract: System and method for making a vertical handover decision between first and second networks using a terminal configured to attach to both networks and a fixed point in either network. Both networks allow information flow between the terminal and the fixed point. When attached to the first network the terminal detects the second and compares a first bandwidth measurement, representing available bandwidth along a first path between the terminal and the fixed point, to a second bandwidth measurement representing available bandwidth along a second path between the terminal and the fixed point. The terminal maintains attach to the first network if the first bandwidth measurement is higher than the second bandwidth measurement and makes a decision to handover to the second network if the second band¬ width measurement is higher than first bandwidth measurement.

Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to a method in a user equipment for instructing establishment of a connection between a first local device and a second local device, the user equipment being connected to a public network, wherein an intermediary system is configured to connect to a first local network, to a second local network and to the public network. A virtual view is generated and, upon receiving a selection of a representation in the view, connectivity information is obtained regarding the communication path between the first local device and the second local device. An ability for user to instruct establishment of communication path in dependence of the connectivity information.

Abstract: Methods and systems enabling the end users of cellular devices to set up infrastructure-based D2D connections with other devices from within the over-the-top (OTT) applications running on their devices are disclosed. The methods are based on dynamically reconfiguring respective network-level firewalls protecting different end user devices.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for communicating between at least one local device connected to a local network and a user equipment connected to a public network, via an intermediary device that is configured to connect to the local network and to the public network. The method comprises the steps in the intermediary device of connecting to the local network and storing a device identifier of the at least one local device in the local network. The method further comprises connecting to the public network and transmitting profile information for the user equipment enabling the user equipment to present a virtual representation of the local device in the local network. The profile information comprises the device identifier.
