Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for controlling data service for a vehicle-based user of a telecommunication network. The method comprising: retrieving data associated with location behavior of the user within the network; predicting, based on said data and on a current user location within the network, a future user location within the network; performing a determination of network capability at the future user location; and modifying, in response to the determination, a configuration of the network and/or a service parameter associated with the user. A network element, system and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: Control of handover of a User Equipment (UE) between a first base station of a first type and a second base station of a second, different type in a cellular network. At least one handover parameter is configured at one or more of: the UE; the first base station; and the second base station, on the basis of the first type and the second type.

Abstract: Controlling handover of a User Equipment (UE) between first and second base stations in a cellular network is provided. The first base station is configured for operation whilst mobile. A mobility parameter is determined for the first base station, the mobility parameter relating to a change in location for the first base station. Then, the first base station is configured to permit or prevent handover of the UE between the first and second base stations based on the mobility parameter of the first base station.

Abstract: Control of handover management at a first base station in a cellular network is provided. A separate, provisioning base station of the cellular network may provide the first base station with a radio backhaul interface to a core network part of the cellular network. Then, handover status information may be communicated to the first base station, the information being based on a handover status for the provisioning base station. Additionally or alternatively, the first base station is configured for operation whilst mobile and a mobility parameter is determined for it, relating to a change in location for the first base station. Handover status information is communicated to the first base station based on the determined mobility parameter.
