Abstract: In an evolved radio access network (RAN) architecture user planes (UP) and the control planes (CP) are separated into different network elements. This concept is improved by further splitting the control plane (CP) in mobile specific control functions and area specific (cell and multi-cell) control functions, the proposed method comprising the steps of processing paging and broadcast functional tasks on the control plane of at least one of the radio network controlling elements resulting from this split, processing mobile control functional tasks on the control plane of at least one other radio network controlling element resulting from the split, processing the paging and broadcast functional tasks in a first and a second logical block, the first logical block performing paging tasks which are related to core network defined areas and the second logical block performing paging tasks for radio access network defined areas.

Abstract: In evolved radio access network architectures the user and the control planes are separated into different network elements. This implies that the core network must exchange control and user information related to a particular user terminal with these two different network elements. Moreover, information not linked to a particular user but to a certain cell or area must also be directed to the appropriate control plane server or user plane server.

Abstract: The invention relates to a foot-supporting insole of which the front bounding line (24) extends in front of the ball (28) of the little toe at the outside of the foot and behind the ball (27) of the big toe at the inside of the foot. To enable such an insole to be used in all conventionally marketed shoes and to ensure that correct adaptation to the foot of the wearer will not be necessary, it is suggested to make the insole (2) of resiliently elastic material of substantially constant thickness and to construct it so that it is curved upwardly at the inside (3) of the foot, the stiffness of the insole (2) at least at the outside zone of the foot being so high that the foot rotatingly rolls towards the big toe during walking. Preferably, the length of the insole (2) at the inside of the foot corresponds to a size which is several sizes smaller than the measurement corresponding to the length at the outside of the foot.

Abstract: To improve the walking motion of the foot in the area of the big toe, a foot-supporting sole features a rigid section which, in the area of the little toe extends further forward than in the area of the hallux ball.
