Abstract: Because the current RRC: ACTIVE SET UPDATE message presently used in soft handover does not contain HS-DSCH related information, which could be utilized for a Serving HS-DSCH cell change, a separate Radio Bearer Control procedure is needed between the UE (10) and the RNC (20) for carrying out the Serving HS-DSCH cell change. Should HS-DSCH related information—applicable to Serving HS-DSCH cell change—be added to the RRC: ACTIVE SET UPDATE message (32), an unnecessary Radio Bearer Control procedure is avoided, and the drawbacks of the current method are overcome.

Abstract: A method of controlling base transceiver stations in a telecommunications system and a telecommunications system which comprises one or more base transceiver stations (BTS1, BTS2, BTS3) and an object model representing elements of the telecommunications system, by means of which object model the elements are controlled. The object model comprises a cell object (CELL) which represents one or more base station objects (BTSO1, BTSO2, BTSO3), and the telecommunications system is arranged to control the base station objects, represented by the cell object, via the cell object such that the operation performed on the cell object will be performed simultaneously in all base station objects, represented by the cell object, where said operation can be performed.

Abstract: Systems and methods applicable, for instance, in the supervision of workers. A worker device may, for example, be employed to access a storage element associated with a workplace location, and/or a sensor may capture. The worker device might, for example, provide to another device dispatch including, for instance, sensor output and/or data read from the storage element.

Abstract: A method of communications in a cellular telecommunications network is disclosed. A cell update message is sent from a user equipment to a network node. The cell update message comprises a cell update cause. The cell update cause includes one of information indicating user data transmission or information indicating control data transmission, if the cause of the cell update is a uplink data transmission. A first procedure is used for data transmission if said information is user data transmission. A different second procedure is used for data transmission if said information is control data transmission.

Abstract: A radio access network (RNC) assigns for a real-time media session a real-time access bearer that can be shifted between a dedicated channel state and a common channel state. The assignment is made in response to receiving an access bearer assignment message indicating that the real-time media session requires a real-time access bearer of that type. The media activity of the real-time access bearer is then monitored, and the access bearer shifts to the common channel state upon detecting media inactivity during the dedicated channel state, and shifts to the dedicated channel state upon detecting media activity during the common channel state.
