  • Publication number: 20150359025
    Abstract: The invention relates to a telecommunications network for wirelessly establishing a connection with a terminal located at a location in said network by a server. The terminal is identified by a terminal identifier in the telecommunications network. The telecommunications network contains a first network node and a second network node. The first network node is configured for receiving a data unit for the terminal from the server, that is preferably located outside the telecommunications network. The data unit comprises the terminal identifier. The first network node is being configured for receiving a location identifier indicative of the location of the terminal from the server and for deriving an address of the second network node using the location identifier. The derived address of the second network node is then used for transmitting a first connection request for establishing a connection with the derived second network node.

  • Patent number: 8533798
    Abstract: A method of providing access to both a first and a second network (1, 2) comprises the steps of: a terminal (4) requesting (RQ1), via the first network (1), access to the first network while providing a first identification (ID1), the first network verifying the first identification and, if the verification is successful, issuing a second identification (ID2), the terminal (4) requesting (RQ2), via the first network (1), access to the second network (2) while providing the second identification (ID2), an authentication server (112) verifying the second identification and, if the verification is successful, issuing a third identification (ID3), the first network (1) transmitting the third identification (ID 3) to the terminal (4), and the terminal (4) using the third identification (ID3) to obtain access to the second network (2).

  • Patent number: 7395350
    Abstract: Control system for a communications network, wherein the control system contains network-control means and information-processing means. Through the quality-control means, a user may set a desired quality (UQS). Additionally, the quality-control means measures quality delivered (UQS?) by the information-processing means and compares the two qualities, UQS and UQS?. By reference to a calculated comparison result, parameters are passed on to the network-control means in order to minimize a difference between the desired and delivered qualities. The quality-control means may comprise one or more user agents which may be set through the information-processing means and the communications network.
