Abstract: A method for security for inter-RAT carrier aggregation is disclosed. The method includes encrypting a message using an encryption technique for a first RAT. The method also includes sending, to a UE, at least a portion of the encrypted message using a different, second RAT. Sending using the second RAT does not further encrypt the at least a portion of the encrypted message. The method further includes receiving the at least a portion of the message encrypted using the first RAT protocol. Receiving uses the second, different RAT. The method also includes decrypting the at least a portion of the message using the first RAT protocol. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for manufacturing a component with hot isostatic pressing occurring in solid form, the component comprising a shape opening onto the outer surface. The method comprises forming a sheet metal capsule for metallic powder, and manufacturing a core by arranging around a core centre made of a first material, a form layer made of a second material, the shape of the outer surface of the form layer corresponding to the shape of the outer surface of the opening shape of the component. The core is placed in a spot, where the shape opening onto the outer surface is to be formed, and metallic powder is arranged in the sheet metal capsule, which forms the body part of the component to be manufactured. Cladding material is arranged between the outer surface of the core and the metallic powder, and hot isostatic pressing is performed to simultaneously compact the metal powder and the cladding material.

Abstract: A method includes transmitting, from a radio device of a secondary communication system, a signal into a channel of a primary communication system; monitoring channel signal quality-related feedback of the primary system; determining, based on the monitored channel signal quality-related feedback, an amount of mutual coupling between the transmitted signal and the channel, if any, caused by the transmitted signal; and if the amount of determined mutual coupling is less than a threshold amount, using the channel for communication with another radio device of the secondary communication system. The signal that is transmitted may be a probing signal having at least a predetermined temporally varying transmission pattern, and where determining includes correlating at least the predetermined temporally varying transmission pattern with changes, if any, in the monitored channel signal quality-related feedback.

An example embodiment includes a method, comprising: receiving a request from a wireless network, requesting device management information for coexistence within an unassigned frequency band with zero or more neighboring wireless networks of the wireless network; and providing the requested device management information for the wireless network, based on at least location of the wireless network, the device management information including at least allowed frequency and transmission power.

Abstract: A system for determining allowed channels for operating in unlicensed bandwidth. Initially, an apparatus may determine whether valid allowed channel information corresponding to the current position of the apparatus already exists in the apparatus. If the allowed channel information corresponding to the current position of the apparatus does not exist in the apparatus or is invalid, the apparatus may then determine if the allowed channel information can be provided by another apparatus. If the allowed channel information is available from another apparatus, this information may be requested from the other apparatus. Otherwise, the allowed channel information may be requested from a database.

Abstract: This document describes an apparatus for providing an advance indication of channels available for use by a mobile device travelling along a geographic path. The path extends across two or more cells, with each cell defining a particular set of radio channels available for use by the mobile device in that cell. The apparatus is configured to receive predicted geographic path signalling associated with prediction of the geographic path to be taken by the mobile device. The apparatus is also configured to determine radio channels available for use by the mobile device along that path. The apparatus is also configured to provide, in advance, an indication of the radio channels available for use by the mobile device along the geographic path in each respective cell along the path.

Abstract: A component adapted to an environment exposed to corrosive species such as chlorine, which component has a substrate and a coating on the substrate configured to shield the substrate from erosion and corrosion. The coating is formed and metallurgically bonded to the substrate by nickel vapor depositing and hot isostatic pressing or by surface brazing. The coating is manufactured to form a dense layer consisting of a protective material that substantially reduces corrosion rate under the presence of the corrosive species.

Abstract: A sender and a receiver includes first and second arrays of coupled oscillators, respectively, that are substantially identically constructed so as to exhibit substantially the same dynamical response to excitation. A chaotic waveform generated at the sender is transmitted to the receiver, which generates a second chaotic waveform, and compares the received waveform with the generated second waveform. If the first and second waveforms match the sender is an authorized sender. An integrated circuit includes an array of coupled oscillators that in combination generate a waveform in response to at least one excitation signal. The array of coupled oscillators represents, in response to application of the excitation signals, a multi-dimensional security key that is shared between the sender of the waveform and the receiver of the waveform.
