Abstract: The invention discloses a method for receiving a data packet from a first communication device by a second communication device in a wireless network comprising the following steps: —awaiting the data packet at the second communication device; determining a context information related to the data packet by the second communication device; if the data packet is not received successfully, controlling transmission of a negative acknowledgement indicator, NACK, and/or transmission of a channel quality indicator, CQI, by the second communication device to the first communication device based on the context information.

Abstract: In a method for wireless communication, a receiver receives a first signal at a first radio frequency and determines the reception level of the first signal. The receiver receives data during a reception level of the first signal at the first radio frequency. The receiver decides, based on the determined reception level, whether at least one measurement is to be taken on a second signal transmitted at a second radio frequency. A radio station carries out the method.

Abstract: A user equipment receives from a network a transmitted (broadcast) access mode indicator that indicates whether a closed subscriber group CSG network is being operated as open or closed, and if it indicates open a user equipment UE that is not a registered member of the CSG is allowed access to the closed subscriber group network as a guest member. The CSG network can provide higher priority services to its registered members by differentiating them over guest members by an indication, received from each UE in its RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL CONNECTION REQUEST message, whether it is registered or a guest. The CSG can also transmit its ID/name for display at the UE so the UE may select whether and which CSG to join.

Abstract: A network transmits (broadcasts) an access mode indicator that indicates whether a closed subscriber group CSG network is being operated as open or closed and if it indicates open a user equipment UE that is not a registered member of the CSG is allowed access as a guest member, a user group of the closed subscriber group network, and allowing the user equipment access to the closed subscriber group network as a guest member. The CSG network can provide higher priority services to its registered members by differentiating them over guest members by an indication, received from each UE in its RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL CONNECTION REQUEST message, whether it is registered or a guest. The CSG can also transmit its ID/name for display at the UE so they may select whether and which CSG to join.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, in a radio communications system comprising at least one base station (BS1, BS2) provided with means for transmitting data via a communication link (BCCH; V), wherein the data is divided into a plurality of data packets and being transmitted via the communication link to at least one receiving station (UE). To reduce power consumption it is proposed that the downloading of the data packets is halted if it is determined that a data packet has not been received or a corrupted data packet has been received by the receiving station, the missing or corrupted data packet is retransmitted via the same or a different communication link at a later time.

Abstract: A method of selecting suitable frequency bands for data transmission between a network node and a user equipment within a mobile communications network. A method selects suitable frequency bands for data transmission between a network node and user equipment within a mobile communications network. A scheduler on the network node side selects data transmission mode depending on the user equipment capability of receiving data from at least two frequency bands simultaneously. The scheduler preferably selects the data transmission mode in the following way: simultaneous data transmission over at least two frequency with or without splitting traffic data or data transmission over only one available frequency band. For data transmission, a radio frame structure (Big MAC element) is dynamically established in the so-called medium access control layer, shortened so-called MAC-layer, by using concurrent radio resources from other frequency bands or other radio access technologies.

Abstract: A respective agent platform in network elements and producer-specific agents that are installed directly on platform or by way of agent proxies of agent providers. The agents then receive raw information on arising operating errors by way of a defined interface of the agent platform, and, together with producer-specific information on the respective terminals or types of terminal that are known only to the respective producer, from corresponding compressed decision information for evaluating cases of error and/or for optimizing reconfiguration decisions. The agents then provide the information for the network element or the network operator and/or the agent provider or the terminal producer, via the defined interface. This leads to a higher reliability of the interoperability of terminals and network elements in mobile radio networks including reconfigurable terminals.

Abstract: A method for configuring a mobile terminal wherein a basic configuration for use of the mobile terminal in differently organized communication networks is set up in the mobile terminal. The basic configuration for use of the mobile terminal in a particular communication network of the communication networks is modified by a change, for which purpose data for a configuration specific to the particular network is loaded into the mobile terminal. The change remains available during the use of the mobile terminal in the particular communication network. Correspondingly a suitable mobile terminal and a suitably embodied mobile radio network implement the method.

Abstract: A first network radio station communicates with a user station with the aid of first radio technology while a second network radio station simultaneously communicates using second radio technology, receives data on radio technologies that can be utilized by the user station, and performs a reconfiguration process allowing the second network radio station to utilize the first radio technology. The second network radio station then communicates with the user station with the aid of the first radio technology.

The program module is accommodated by a server, the program module is transmitted to a subscriber terminal, a test criterion is calculated each time inside a security device and in the subscriber terminal by using the program module and an individual key. By comparing the test criterion, it is determined whether the program module has been defectively received by the subscriber terminal.
