  • Publication number: 20200374950
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing a communication service with a user equipment in the coverage area of a base station is disclosed. The base station is part of a telecommunication system comprising a plurality of base stations connected to a core network containing a connection information database. In the method, at least one communication identifier is received by the base station of the user equipment in the coverage area of the base station after the base station has processed information indicative of a disconnection between the base station and the connection information database, e.g. a disconnection between the base station and the core network. The received at least one communication identifier is stored in a local storage associated with the base station. The communication service is established via the base station using the communication identifier from the local storage.

  • Patent number: 10148553
    Abstract: A method and system is described for delivering data streams in a network comprising devices connected to the network via adapters and wherein at least some of the devices are programmed to indicate priority of a data stream using priority parameter values of respective priority parameter types. One device in the network operates as a controller and the accompanying controller adapter is configured to perform priority enforcement on data streams according to all priority parameter types used within the datastreams in the network. A controller is also described and the controller can be a gateway configured to allow data streams into and out of the network. The method, system and controller find particular application in networks based on shared network segments, for example power line communication or networks based on coaxial cable.

  • Publication number: 20070202883
    Abstract: A communication technique includes broadcasting a signal that indicates at least a plurality of protocols supported by the device that broadcasts the signal. In a disclosed example, the device that broadcasts the signal is also capable of receiving broadcast signals from other devices. In one example, the broadcasting device is a mobile station while in another example the broadcasting device is a base station. Devices that receive the broadcast signal can then establish a communication connection using one of the indicated protocols when desired. Disclosed examples include broadcast signals indicating available protocols for mobile station-to-mobile station communications, base station-to-base station communications and communications between mobile stations and base stations.
