Abstract: In a radio system a network node is provided to be operatively connected to a set of radio base stations of the radio network and to retrieving a neighbor list from each radio base station in said set of radio base stations. Based on said list of neighbors it is determined if a pair of radio base stations lack a connection between them, and upon determining that a connection between two radio base stations is lacking a connection between said pair of radio base stations is set up.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solution for handling a plurality of machine to machine, M2M, devices in a wireless communication cell by providing a shared Internet Protocol, IP, address for the plurality of M2M devices and one of the M2M devices acts as a master device for attaching and receiving the shared IP address and other communication configuration control data from a wireless gateway. The M2M devices communicate with a central M2M server using datagrams with the shared IP address and device identity information together with data or control messages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for allocating a network entity for handling user communication signals of a user, the user communication signals comprising payload and signalling load. The method comprises obtaining (801) a load attribute, the load attribute indicating a load ratio between the payload and the signalling load, selecting (803) a network entity upon the basis of the load attribute, and initiating (805) a network entity location procedure to allocate the selected network entity for handling the user communication signals.

Abstract: A digital radio network having a first single random access for packet data is enhanced by providing a second access which includes a second random access channel for controlled short data messages and a polled data channel for larger data messages. All mobiles operating within the system can access the first channel but only dual-mode mobiles can connect to the second access.

Abstract: A roaming mechanism enabling a mobile station to roam between a first data packet network utilizing a Mobile IP Method (MIM) and a second data packet network utilizing a Personal Digital Cellular Mobility Method (PMM) is disclosed. A foreign agent (FA) is introduced into the PMM network for enabling a mobile station associated with the MIM network and currently roaming within the PMM network to communicate packet data with an associated home agent (HA). A home agent (HA) is further introduced into the PMM network for enabling a mobile station associated with the PMM network and currently roaming within the MIM network to communicate packet data with an associated FA or Mobile IP Client Emulator (MICE) currently serving the roaming mobile station.

Abstract: A new access scheme for a digital radio network for providing packet data access to mobile stations operating within said network. A random access channel (ACH) is provided for control signaling and short data messages between the network and the mobile stations. One or more polling data channels (PDCHs) are provided for larger quantities of data to be sent between the mobile stations and the network. A mobile station seeking access to send data packets contacts the network over the ACH channel, registers for packet access and is assigned a unique flag pattern. The network then sequentially provides to various registered mobiles access to a PDCH channel by sending its flag pattern in a message over the downlink PDCH. When each mobile recognizes its own unique flag pattern it knows that it is then allowed to send a discrete number of packet bursts to the network over the uplink PDCH before access to the PDCH is given to another registered mobile station.

Abstract: A system for assisting a user of a computer system in entering valid information includes a computer having a processor and a memory, a display device for illustrating screen objects, a screen cursor for indicating a location on the display device, an input device for positioning the screen cursor, and screen information for indicating user operations available with the input device.
