Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling a call transfer from a circuit switched access network to a packet switched access network. A Mobile Switching Centre Server receives a notification that a call for a terminal requires handover from a circuit switched access network to a packet switched access network. The MSC Server determines whether the terminal is currently registered in an IMS network and/or whether the MSC Server is registered such that it can perform handover from the circuit switched access network to the packet switched access network. If so, then return Single Radio Voice Call Continuity is invoked to perform a handover of the call from the circuit switched access network to the packet switched access network. If not then the MSC Server invokes error handling procedures.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring a session from a packet switched access network to a circuit switched access network. A Mobility Management Entity receives a service type indicator from a gateway node. The service type indicator indicates a type of service for the session, and is associated with bearers used for the session. The Mobility Management Entity subsequently receives, from an eNodeB, an indication that the session is to be transferred from the packet switched network to the circuit switched access network. The Mobility Management Entity determines the bearers associated with the session using the service type indicator, and initiates transfer of the session using those bearers. This ensures that the correct bearers are transferred regardless of whether or not identifiers such as QCI values have been ascribed to other types of service.

Abstract: A method of enabling dual registration of a User Equipment, UE, with first and second Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, networks, the method comprising, in response to a connection request made to a gateway node by the UE, sending to the UE, network addresses of respective first and second Proxy Call Session Control Functions, P-CSCF, the first and second P-CSCFs being configured to enable IMS registrations to the first and second IMS networks respectively.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus are described for controlling set up of a terminating call from an IMS to a UE, in a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) situation. A first MSC receives a terminating call from IMS and tries to page the UE. The UE has moved to the second MSC and performs a Location Update to the second MSC. The second MSC informs the first MSC with a Send Identification message comprising an address of the second MSC. The first MSC maintains the IMS subscription of the UE at Cancel Location and forwards the terminating call to the second MSC. The first MSC acts as relay for subsequent call control messages for calls of the UE. The first and second MSCs are supervising the ongoing calls and as soon as all calls are completed the second MSC registers the UE into IMS and the first MSC de-registers the UE from IMS.

Abstract: A body part of a vehicle includes a structural component and a deformation component. A connecting component is fastened to an end portion of the deformation component. The connecting component has a contact surface configured to come into contact with a mating contact surface of the structural component. A normal spacing is formed between the contact surface and the mating contact surface, and the connecting component is configured to form force-transmitting contact between the contact surface and the mating contact surface in the event of a crash.

Abstract: A crash barrier for implementing a collision with a vehicle has a front to be moved toward the vehicle when the collision is implemented. The front side has a predetermined width and a predetermined height. The front side further has a selected surface region that takes up at most a 50% part of a width of the front side. A volume region of the crash barrier behind the surface region has a greater level of rigidity than a surrounding region of the crash barrier. Therefore, in the event of an impact against the vehicle, a greater level of rigidity acts in the selected surface region than in a surrounding region.

Abstract: A technique for handling mobile terminating connection attempts for a mobile terminal for which a change of an association from a first routing node to a second routing node is accompanied by a Circuit Switched (CS) fallback is described. In one exemplary embodiment, a method may be performed by a Circuit Switched Fallback Interworking Function (CSFB-IWF) for handling mobile terminating connection attempts for a mobile terminal for which a change of an association from the CSFB-IWF to a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) is accompanied by a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB). The method may include receiving a mobile terminating connection attempt to the mobile terminal. In response to receiving the mobile terminating connection attempt, the method may include paging the mobile terminal using a Mobility Management Entity (MME). In response to paging the mobile terminal, the method may include triggering the mobile terminal to initiate a CSFB procedure.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling a radio access handover with respect to a user equipment, UE, in a radio access domain from a first radio access network, RAN, to a second RAN are described. A radio access node of the first RAN receives a first message (M10) information to keep a radio connection to the UE. In reaction to the first message, a movement of the UE to the second RAN is inhibited, during a certain time period.

Abstract: It is desirable for a user equipment (UE) 100 to be able to determine if connecting using an access point name (APN) would result in a home routed or local breakout (LBO) routed connection. With this information, the UE can decide which APNs to use for packet data network (PDN) connections e.g. to ensure that the bearers on the PDN connection are able to carry certain services which are incompatible with home routing or LBO routing, or to ensure that charging is carried out by the home or visited network, as desired (e.g. to avoid roaming fees). Alternatively, the user can be presented with the option of home routing or LBO routing for a connection. In order to provide this information to the UE, modified signalling is proposed, among others, by means of a method of operating a mobility management entity (MME) 200 in a mobile telecommunications network.

Abstract: In a mobile network with a plurality of access networks, a control node controls access of a user equipment to that one of the access networks which is currently used by the user equipment. The control node determines an access capability of the user equipment in the access network. The access capability includes whether an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) voice over Packet Switched (PS) session is supported. The control node provides an indication of the determined access capability to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) associated with the user equipment. The indication may then be retrieved from the HSS and used to control termination of a connection to the user equipment.

Abstract: A communication network comprises a packet switched domain associated with a packet switched capable radio access network and supports an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem voice session via the packet switched capable radio access network. The terminal supports an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem voice session via the packet switched capable radio access network and an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem emergency voice session via the packet switched capable radio access network. A method is executed by a control node of the packet switched domain and comprises sending instruction information to the terminal. The instruction information instructs the terminal to execute an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem voice session via the packet switched capable radio access network without regard to whether the communication network has indicated support of an emergency session related data transmission via the packet switched capable radio access network and the packet switched domain.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a solution for providing IMS services to users having circuit-switched controlled terminal being not adapted to provide IMS services to the users. In particular, it is proposed, in order to allow IMS to take the full call and service control, to place a user agent being responsible for the user ported to the IMS in a new node type called Mobile Access Gateway Control Function (MAGCF). This new node combines the logical functionality of a cellular switching center and the logical functionality of IMS. Further it is proposed to enhance a user's register, like HLR, to provide also information about the availability of a MAGCF node and about whether a particular user is enabled to use the MAGCF functionality.
