Patent number: 10201029Abstract: A method including transmitting from, a node a request for a packet data network (PDN) connection; and indicating by the node that the PDN connection request is for a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) use. A method including receiving a request by a node for a second packet data network (PDN) connection, where the node has a first packet data network (PDN) connection; and accepting the request for the second packet data network (PDN) connection based, at least partially, upon the node indicating that the second PDN connection request is for a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) use. A method including selecting a second gateway for the second packet data network (PDN) connection based, at least partially, upon a determination that the request is for the multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) use, where the selecting of the second gateway avoids selection of the first gateway as the second gateway.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2014Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Sami Johannes Kekki, Mika Petri Olavi Rinne

Publication number: 20170311243Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved network connectivity through an available service provider. For example, certain communication systems may benefit from informing a user equipment of the available service providers without having to first establish an RRC connection. A method includes sending from a user equipment a radio resource control query request message to a network entity. The method also includes receiving at the user equipment a query response message in response to the radio resource control query request message. In addition, the method includes selecting at the user equipment a service provider based on the query response message.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2016Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventors: Mika Petri Olavi RINNE, Jari Pekka MUSTAJARVI

Patent number: 9544779Abstract: A method for acquiring spectrum beyond the licensed spectrum for wireless network communications comprising accessing a geolocation database to determine a configuration of white space frequencies that may be available and transmitting the carrier aggregation configuration to user equipment (UE). The carrier aggregation configuration may be at least partially encrypted with the key sequences for the encryption being optionally changed for improved security. The white spaces may be activated in a handshake sequence in which a network node transmits an enabling signal to UE, receives an enabling request from UE specifying which white spaces are requested, and transmits an enabling response. In an alternative to transmitting an enabling response, the node may activate the requested white spaces in an LTE signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2012Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Mika Petri Olavi Rinne, Mikko Aleksi Uusitalo, Mika Ilkka Tapani Kasslin
