Abstract: A method for paging a user equipment, UE, in a radio access network, RAN, served by a core network node. When a UE attaches to the radio access network, a service area identity included in the respective a respective registration message from each UE, is received and registered in the core network node. The method further includes a step of receiving one or more data packets to be sent to a receiving UE attached to the network and determining a permitted latency for delivery of the one or more data packets to the UE. When permitted latency exceeds a predetermined latency threshold, a step of retrieving the registered SAI for the receiving UE is performed. In a concluding step in the method of paging, a first page is performed of the UE, directing the first page to cells belonging to a first paging area determined by the retrieved SAI.

Abstract: For managing multicast transmissions in a cellular network, a control plane module (162) of a gateway node (160) of the cellular network establishes one or more control plane sessions associated with the multicast transmissions. Further, a user plane module (164) of the gateway node (160) establishes one or more user plane sessions associated with the multicast transmissions. The control plane module (162) of the gateway node (160) indicates context information of the control plane session(s) to an external storage (175). During a failure of the control plane module (162) of the gateway node (160), the user plane module (164) of the gateway node (160) maintains the user plane session(s). After recovery from the failure of the control plane module (162) of the gateway node (160), the control plane module (162) of the gateway node receives the context information from the external storage (175) and re-establishes at least one of the more control plane session(s) on the basis of the received context information.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a bridge inspection and evaluation method based on impact vibration. The method includes backward analysis of the bridge based on impact on blocks without reference points and forward analysis of the bridge based on progressive impact loading, where the backward analysis of the bridge based on impact on blocks without reference points is used to rapidly inspect the medium and small bridges from the road network to find the ones with serious shortage of bearing capacity, and the forward analysis of the bridge based on progressive impact loading is used to evaluate the actual bearing capacity of the bridges, which may have good safety condition in the backward analysis. The present invention realizes low-cost and highly efficient inspection and evaluation of the medium and small bridges in the road network.

Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method in a second CN node (205,407) for handling a failure in a communications network (200). The failure has caused communication between the second CN node (205, 407) and an old first CN node (203a) to become unavailable. The communication is associated with a session. When the failure has been detected, the second CN node transmits a session start request message to a new first CN node (203b, 405b, 410b). The session start request is a request to restore the session. The session start request message comprises a restoration flag indicating restoration of the session for a same service established before the failure and allowing a RAN node (201, 403) in the communications network (200) to accept the session start request message.

Abstract: Multicasting in Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) nodes and the respective nodes. The method in a node configured as an MBMS gateway includes, in response to receipt of a session start request message for a multicast session, allocating a transport network IPv4 multicast address and a transport network IPv6 multicast address for the session, and generating another session start request message and transmitting it to a node configured as a Mobility Management Element (MME). The session start request message includes a first pair of the allocated transport network IPv4 multicast address and an IPv4 multicast source address, and a second pair of the allocated transport network IPv6 multicast address and an IPv6 multicast source address. In response to receipt of MBMS data from a node configured as a Broadcast-Multicast Service Center (BM-SC), the MBMS data is sent using at least one of the first and second pair of addresses.

Abstract: A control node (140; 150) of a cellular network establishes one or more control plane sessions with a gateway node (160). On the basis of these one or more control plane sessions with the gateway node (160), the control node (140; 150) also establishes one or more control plane sessions with one or more radio access network nodes (112, 114; 122, 24) to control multicast transmissions by the one or more radio access network nodes (112, 14; 122, 124). Further, the control node (140; 150) detects a connection failure to the gateway node (160). When detecting the connection failure, the control node (140; 150) starts a first timer. Further, also the gateway node (160) detects the connection failure. When detecting the connection failure, the gateway node (160) starts a second timer. The second timer is configured with a longer duration than the first timer.
