Patent number: 10091680Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for collecting and detecting service area (SA) swapping noise in a wireless network including a plurality of SAs serving a plurality of devices. By receiving SA updates from the stationary devices of the plurality of devices changes in SA identifiers of the SA updates associated with each stationary device are detected. For each stationary device, if two or more SAs are detected to have changed for the stationary device, then these SAs are identified as contributing to SA swapping noise. With this in mind, SA transitions between the identified SAs for a non-stationary device of the plurality of devices are not interpreted as movement of the non-stationary device. However, SA transitions for the non-stationary device from these SAs to other SAs not contributing to SA swapping noise are interpreted as a change of location or movement of the non-stationary device.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Julien Forgeat, Richard Carlsson, Tomas Goldbeck-Löwe

Patent number: 9445391Abstract: Methods are provided for filtering, collecting, and analyzing location data for a plurality of devices in a wireless network. Location data for one or more devices is received, for each device the location data includes a unique identifier. Whether the devices belong to the group of devices is determined based on the unique identifier. The location data of devices determined to belong to the group of devices are stored and used in the mobility analysis and the results distributed accordingly. A relevancy analysis may be performed on the stored location data of devices determined to belong to the group of devices in which device information is generated that is associated with devices not belonging to the group of devices. The device information is fed back to determine whether the devices belong to the group of devices based on the unique identifier.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M. ERICSSONInventors: Richard Carlsson, Tomas Goldbeck-Löwe, Sky Zhao

Publication number: 20160191510Abstract: A tamper-resistant security device, such as a subscriber identity module or equivalent, has an AKA (Authentication and Key Agreement) module for performing an AKA process with a security key stored in the device, as well as means for external communication. The tamper-resistant security device includes an application that cooperates with the AKA module and an internal interface for communications between the AKA module and the application. The application cooperating with the AKA module is preferably a security and/or privacy enhancing application. For increased security, the security device may also detect whether it is operated in its normal secure environment or a foreign less secure environment and set access rights to resident files or commands that could expose the AKA process or corresponding parameters accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2016Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Mats Näslund, Tomas Goldbeck-Löwe, Karl Norrman

Patent number: 8873498Abstract: One aspect pertains to a method of enabling an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network to implement predetermined Quality of Service (QoS) resource policies applied to subscriber/service groups operating via the network. The method comprises receiving a request for QoS resources to be provided to a bearer for traffic of a user of a subscriber/service group from which the request originated. A Resource Class (RC) parameter is assigned to the request. The RC parameter identifies a resource partition and the originating subscriber/service group, A Gx-Request that includes the RC parameter is forwarded to the EPC network to invoke application of the requested QoS resources so as to establish a bearer in accordance with the predetermined policies identifiable from the RC. Other aspects pertain to EPC network nodes configured accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Zoltán Richárd Turányi, Hans Eriksson, Tomas Goldbeck-Löwe
