Abstract: In Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN, systems, an access point supports access using one or more frequency bands. A WLAN device transmits a query to a WLAN access point prior to association of the WLAN device with the WLAN access point, requesting an indication of one or more frequency bands used by the WLAN access point to support access. The WLAN access point receives the query from the wireless device using one of the one or more frequency bands and transmits to the wireless device an indication of the one or more frequency bands in response. A relative priority of frequency bands may be provided in order to guide the WLAN device in choosing a preferred frequency band.

Abstract: The subject innovation relates to a system and method for routing in a base station system a message received from a mobile communication device to a core network. The base station system may be connected to at least two core networks and an identifier being assigned to each core network. An exemplary method comprises receiving in the base station system the message from the mobile communication device together with an identifier assigned to a first core network of the core networks. The identifier may be read in the base station system. The exemplary method also comprises forwarding the message from the base station system to the first core network based upon the read identifier.

Abstract: A method of mapping a plurality of symbols from a first communication scheme (e.g. GSM) to frames of a second communication scheme (e.g. CPRI) to enable data of the symbols to be transmitted over a communication link that operates according to the second communication scheme, wherein N of the symbols are transmitted in a sequence n=0, . . . , n?1 and X of the frames are transmitted in a sequence x=o, . . . , x?1, the method including transmitting data of the symbol n during a frame x, where x is dependent upon the value n*TF*fs where TF is the duration of each of the symbols from the first communication scheme and fs is the frequency of transmission of the frames of the second communication scheme.

Abstract: The subject innovation relates to a method and system for selecting a core network to serve a mobile communication device. An exemplary method comprises receiving in the mobile communication device a first identifier from a shared radio access network being connected to multiple core networks. The exemplary method also comprises reading second identifiers of the multiple core networks from a data item stored in the mobile communication device upon receipt of the first identifier. The data item may comprise an allocation between the first identifier and the second identifiers. The exemplary method additionally comprises selecting the core network from a group of available core networks, the group being determined based upon the second identifiers.

Abstract: A method for performing Circuit Switched Fallback of a radio access terminal in a multi-RAT network environment comprised of a packet switched network and one or more circuit switched networks, each of said networks including a plurality of cells and the radio access terminal camping on a serving cell in the packet switched cellular network, the method comprising; receiving a service indication for a circuit switched service; transmitting to the radio access terminal a message to release the radio connection in the packed switched network; wherein the message to release the radio connection from the packet switched network comprises: data identifying one or more carrier frequencies associated with one or more of the circuit switched cellular networks; and system information data of a plurality of cells associated with one or more of the circuit switched cellular networks to the radio access terminal; releasing the radio access terminal from the packet switched cellular network; and in the radio access termina
