Abstract: Apparatus, methods and computer program products operate an electronic device to receive through from a wireless communications network a prioritized list of radio access technologies; to store the prioritized list of radio access technologies in a memory of the electronic device; and to consult the prioritized list of radio access technologies during cell selection and reselection operations. In variants the radio access technologies listed in the prioritized list of radio access technologies can be E-UTRAN, UTRAN or GERAN. In a further variant to consult the prioritized list may mean to compare at least one of a signal measurement and a quality measurement with at least one threshold established for a certain radio access technology appearing in the prioritized list, and to select/reselect to the certain radio access technology only if the at least one of the signal measurement and the quality measurement exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: There is provided a mechanism for controlling communications conducted in multiple frequency bands so as to decrease an interference level between the communications. When an interference situation caused between a first set UL communications performed on at least two different frequency bands and a DL communication performed on another frequency band is determined, a frequency carrier deactivation processing is conducted so as to deactivate either one of carriers of the at least two frequency bands of the set of UL communications. The deactivation processing includes for example an autonomous denial on the UE side or an interference reporting with deactivation on the eNB side.

Abstract: A method, receiving device, network element, system and computer program product for controlling discontinuous reception at a receiving device of a communication network are disclosed. A regular discontinuous reception cycle of a discontinuous reception scheme is set, and this regular discontinuous reception cycle is switched to a shorter temporary discontinuous reception cycle or is switched off, in response to an event which triggers a reply of the communication network to the receiving device. Thereby, delays of network replies can be shortened or controlled in case discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles are implemented at the receiving device.

Abstract: The negative impacts on a user equipment (UE) caused by the UE's support in network self-configuration and optimization is limited to an acceptable level by controlling user equipment measurements in a network to configure neighbor lists; requesting one or more measurements; the user equipment performing measurements in one or more adjacent cells in response to one or more measurement requests; reporting the measurements; and identifying cells in the network to be included in the neighbor list such that the user equipment measurements support network self-configuration and optimization.

Abstract: A method, terminal device, network element, system and computer program product for controlling discontinuous reception or transmission at a terminal device of a communication network are disclosed. A regular discontinuous reception or transmission cycle of a regular discontinuous reception or transmission scheme is set by using a first control layer, and in addition thereto a shorter temporary discontinuous reception or transmission cycle of an interim discontinuous reception or transmission scheme can be set by using a second control layer. This arrangement provides long discontinuous reception or transmission cycles for power consumption improvements while at the same time ensuring that the network can easily and flexibly shorten these cycles for increased data throughput, if needed.

Abstract: Measurement reports are received from a plurality of user equipments UEs. A local database that indicates measurement report status of the plurality of user equipments is dynamically updated based on the received measurement reports, and a request for a next measurement report is restricted to a limited number of the UEs based on the updated measurement report status. In various embodiments, the measurement report status indicates battery status for each of the UEs, the request includes a parameter by which the UEs generate a number and compare against to determine if they should report, and the UEs determine based on the parameter and a metric of their own battery status. Apparatus, method and computer programs are detailed for both the network side and the UE side of an overall system.
