Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a position of a terminal device (110) in a wireless communication system (100). According to the method, a first message (130-133) is broadcasted by the terminal device (110). The first message (130-133) comprises a positioning request and a terminal identifier identifying the terminal device (110). The first message (130-133) is received at a group of neighboring devices (120-123). Each neighboring device of the group of neighboring devices (120-123) is located within a wireless radio communication range of the terminal device (110). From one or more neighboring devices (120, 121) of the group of neighboring devices (120-123) a corresponding second message (140, 141) is transmitted to location server (103) of the wireless communication system (100). The second message (140, 141) comprises the terminal identifier and an indication that the terminal device (110) requested a positioning.

Abstract: Based on control data (1002) indicative of a user engagement in a mobile edge application (1001) which is being executed on a source mobile edge server (201-203) of a mobile edge system (200) and on a terminal (130), relocation of the mobile edge application (1001) from the source mobile edge server (201-203) to a target mobile edge server (201-203) is facilitated.

Abstract: Various examples generally relate to techniques of communicating using a security context of an encryption. Various examples specifically relate to performing negotiation of the security context.

Abstract: A service provided by a mobile edge server is relocated. A base station associated with the mobile edge server sends a control message to a mobile edge system, the control message being indicative of a predicted handover of the terminal from the base station to one or more candidate base stations.

Abstract: Determining whether service via a core network of the first type is available from the second cell. The method further comprises establishing a connection via the second cell by transmitting a message including a first indication, the first indication based on at least a portion of the identifier, and when service via a core network of the first type is not available from the second cell, transmitting in the message a second indication, the second indication indicating that the identifier was received from a core network different from the second type, without identifying the first type of core network.
