  • Publication number: 20220141736
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to, e.g., a method performed by a source access node relating to handover of a UE. The source access node sends to a target access node, an initial handover preparation message with a first explicit indicator for the target access node to request an enhanced Make-Before-Break Handover. The source access node receives an handover preparation response message from the target access node, with a second explicit indicator accepting or rejecting the requested enhanced Make-Before-Break Handover. Further, the source access node selects a possible fallback mechanism, upon reception of the handover preparation response message from the target access node indicating rejection or no support of enhanced Make-Before-Break Handover.

  • Publication number: 20220131774
    Abstract: A method performed by a first network node includes generating a data volume report based on one or more characteristics associated with data communicated between the first network node and a user equipment. The one or more characteristics identify that the data volume report is to be generated on at least one of a per Data Radio Bearer basis and a per Quality of Service basis. The data volume report is transmitted to a second network node. The data volume report further includes an indication of a radio access technology type associated with the data volume report.

  • Publication number: 20220038975
    Abstract: Methods performed by a first node in a radio access network (RAN) for mobility of a user equipment (UE) served by a second node in the RAN. Such methods include receiving (1310), from the second node, a request for a mobility procedure for the UE towards at least one candidate target cell associated with the first node. Such methods include determining (1320) if the UE can be accepted for the requested mobility procedure and, if so, allocating resources to support mobility of the UE. Such methods include transmitting (1330), to the second node, a response that includes a configuration for the mobility procedure and indicates the UE can be accepted unless a cancelling message is subsequently received from the second node. Such methods include determining (1350) that the configuration is no longer valid, and transmitting (1360), to the second node, an indication that the configuration is no longer valid.

  • Publication number: 20210136676
    Abstract: A method of securing wireless backhaul for a child base station in a first network provided by a first operator, including: any parent base station with wireline backhaul capability and configured to virtualise a core network User Plane Function, UPF, advertises that it supports a wireless backhaul service; the child base station in the first network connects over an air interface to one or more parent base stations in a second network provided by a second operator; the child base station sends a backhaul service request to a connected parent base station; when the backhaul service request is accepted, the connected parent base station uses a virtualised UPF to enable a direct wireline backhaul link between the parent base station and a data network; and the child base station uses the air interface as a wireless backhaul link and the wireline backhaul link of the connected parent base station for backhaul.

  • Patent number: 9109770
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of manufacturing a lens for motor vehicle lighting modules, the method being intended to generate on the output surface (104) of said lens (100) microstructures formed by level differences situated on said output surface (104), the method including the following steps of forming a meshing on the output surface of said lens such that each mesh has similar dimensions, and generating in each mesh a microstructure formed by an output surface level difference, each level difference having a profile that varies as a function of the position of the mesh on the output surface of the lens.
