  • Patent number: 9210553
    Abstract: A management method and apparatus for a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) white list are provided in the present invention, which can avoid the case that causes the CSG white list of a User Equipment (UE) to include a new Operator CSG List (OCL) and an old Allowed CSG List (ACL). The method includes the following steps: a User Equipment (UE) receives an updated Operator CSG List (OCL) or an Allowed CSG List (ACL) from a network side; according to the updated OCL or ACL, UE generates the CSG white list. With the present invention, when UE performs cells selection or handover according to the CSG white list which is provided to a non-access stratum by an access stratum as a basis for access control, the selected CSG identifier can not be refused by the network, the user experience can not be reduced, and unnecessary network signaling overhead can not be increased.

  • Patent number: 9155064
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and device for processing paging message when Idle State Signalling Reduction (ISR) is active. The method includes the following step: a Mobility Management Entity (MME) determines that a Mobile Switching Center (MSC)/Visited Location Register (VLR) is a default MSC/VLR and the paging message is used for a Short Message Service (SMS), the MME does not send the paging message to a Serving General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Support Node (SGSN). The present invention can reduce the unnecessary paging signalling in an Evolved Packet System (EPS) and the 2nd Generation (2G)/3rd Generation (3G), therefore avoiding the network resource waste occurred in the interface of the MME and the SGSN, in the air interface of a General Packet Radio Service/Enhanced Data Rate for Global System for Mobile communication Evolution Radio Access Network (GERAN)/Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), and in the MSC/VLR.

  • Patent number: 9049083
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications technologies, and provide a base station antenna and a base station antenna feed network. The base station antenna includes a transceiver array, a first-level vector synthesis network, a second-level phase shifter array, a second-level vector synthesis network, and an antenna unit array. By using the second-level vector synthesis network, the base station antenna makes phase differences between multiple vector signals sent to antenna units smoother, thereby extending an adjustable range of a downtilt on the premise that the number of transceivers is as small as possible.

  • Patent number: 8996039
    Abstract: A paging method and device are disclosed, and the technical solution includes: determining to page an user equipment (UE) by using international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), and before the paging, judging whether tracking area identity list (TAI List) of the UE is stored, and if the judgment result is “no”, then paging the UE in the tracking area (TA) served by the base station connected with the local area. Adopting the technical solution enables to effectively resolve the problem of uncertainness of paging an UE in which TAs, wherein the problem exists in the existing technology, and happens when mobility management entity (MME) pages the UE by using IMSI during the process of network error recovery.

  • Patent number: 8874094
    Abstract: An informing method and equipment for index parameter of access type/frequency of selection priority are provided. Said method includes that a Mobility Management Entity (MME) receives the voice capabilities and settings reported by User Equipment (UE) (101); the MME generates a Radio access type/Frequency of Selection Priority (RFSP) index according to the subscribed RFSP index, the voice capabilities and settings reported by said UE, and the operator's configuration policies (102); when the MME determines that said generated RFSP index is different from the RFSP index in use, it replaces the RFSP index in use with said generated RFSP index (104); the MME informs the Radio Access Network (RAN) of said generated RFSP index (105). The present invention overcomes the problem that the transmission of the new RFSP index in use can not be finished under the condition that the UE is in an idle state, the UE has no uplink data, and the MME does not receive the notification of the downlink data.
