Abstract: The present invention relates to a solution for paging of idle user equipment and in particular for changing mode status from idle to connected in an efficient manner. This is provided in a method, nodes, and a system arranged to determine a suitable paging message related to a framework table indicating selection criteria entries for access point name, quality of service class indicator, IMSI number, and IMEI number and determining from the framework table a paging granularity set to be used in the paging request from a granularity table comprising entries for paging areas, number of paging retries, and time between retransmissions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for UE context setup in an eNodeB for a UE subscriber in an infrastructure network. The network comprises at least one eNodeB providing radio access for the UE and an MME connected to the eNodeB. The eNodeB/-s comprises an inactivity timer releasing the UE context being setup in the eNodeB after a defined time period.

Abstract: Communication is enabled between a first network in which control functions and user functions are combined in a first node and a second network in which user functions are implemented in a second node, and control functions are implemented in a third node. A determination is made whether data received contains control data. If so the control data is extracted from the received data and is forwarded to the third-node in which control functions are handled. The control data is used for resource handling. The extraction and forwarding may be performed in the first, second, or third node, or at any surface in between. If the received data does not contain control data, the data will be forwarded to the second node. The first network may be a second generation data packet network, e.g., a Global Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, and the second network may be a third generation packet data network., e.g., a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) network.
