Abstract: In a radio communication system including a plurality of subscriber stations and at least one radio access device, useful information of a group of subscriber stations is transmitted by radio. A number of subscriber stations of the group is located in the radio coverage area of the at least one radio access device. The at least one radio access device notifies the subscriber stations of the number of subscriber stations of the group before the useful information is transmitted, using a radio resource. The notification contains information relating to at least one signal in the transmission of the useful information transmitted via another radio resource.

Abstract: One or more identifiers are set for each terminal and a priority ranking is allocated to each identifier to determine priority of one scheduling command relative to any other scheduling command. A data block is transmitted from the base station to the, or each, terminal, including the scheduling command and at least one identifier. Each terminal indicated by the identifier adapts its power level or data rate in accordance with the scheduling command.

Abstract: Cell re-selection for a mobile terminal in a single frequency layer includes determining termination of a multicast broadcast multimedia service (MBMS) session in that frequency layer and checking for availability of stored information relating to a previously used frequency. If this information is available, then a check of the validity of stored information is made. If this information is not available or is not valid, then the mobile station selects a frequency from the SIB 11/12 list and attempts cell selection on a suitable cell on the selected frequency. If the cell selection attempt is not successful, then initial cell selection procedures are carried out to determine to which cell the terminal should move.

Abstract: A method of controlling receipt of signals at a terminal (1) of communications system involves receiving data (D1,D2) on at least one control channel from a first base station (2). The terminal is adapted to periodically perform measurements on signals transmitted by at least one second base station (3,4). The terminal determines whether a period in which data signals (D2) are on the at least on control channel at least partially overlaps with a period for performing measurements (M2) and disables performance of measurements in favor of receipt of data on the at least one control channel.

Abstract: A method of providing mobility information in a mobile communication system comprises setting a mobility flag on initiation of a user subscription representing (5) mobility type in a network (3) for each subscriber.
