Abstract: User location-based alerting in a cellular network may be provided. Geographical location information for one or more mobile terminals of the cellular network is received at a network entity of the cellular network from one or both of: a core network part of the cellular network; and a network management part of the cellular network. One or more geographical locations are identified and a message is then generated to cause an alert to be sent to any mobile terminals in the one or more geographical locations based on the received geographical location information.

Abstract: User location determining in a cellular network may be provided. Geographical location information for one or more mobile terminals of the cellular network is received at a network entity of the cellular network from one or both of: a core network part of the cellular network; and a network management part of the cellular network. A message for communication from the net-work entity to another entity is then generated based on the received geographical location information. For instance, this may allow one or mobile terminal locations to be tracked and their locations may be reported.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides radio resource controllers 110, RRCs, and methods for setting inactivity timers for user equipment devices, UEs. In one aspect, there is provided an RRC 110 for setting inactivity timers for UEs within a cell 140, the RRC being configured to: set a first inactivity timer for a first user equipment device, UE, 120 in the cell 140, wherein the first UE 120 is of a first user type; and set a second inactivity timer, separate to the first inactivity timer, for a second user equipment device, UE, 130 in the cell 140, wherein the second UE 130 is of a second user type.
