Abstract: A supplementary service implementation method, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network system and a mobile terminal are provided. The method may include: receiving an Uplink NAS Transport message from a mobile terminal; analyzing the Uplink NAS Transport message; and performing a supplementary service if an SS message is determined to be contained in the Uplink NAS Transport message based on a NAS message container of the Uplink NAS Transport message. The method in the present disclosure can solve problems that an LTE terminal can not directly provide CISS when it is in an LTE network, or it has to fall back to a circuit-switched 3G/2G network so as to support CISS. Therefore, the method can reduce overheads introduced by network switching, and improve performances of LTE networks and LTE mobile terminals.

Abstract: A first access node of a first network utilizes code sequences, assigned to different user devices, to distinguish at least acknowledgements received in parallel or sequentially from those user devices. The first access node determines from received signaling that a root sequence of the code sequences is in use by a second access node of a second network, then changes that root sequence of the code sequences assigned to the different user devices. In certain examples the access nodes are WLAN access points APs and the acknowledgements are received in response to a group probe/poll. In various embodiments the first AP monitors its neighbors' group probes/polls to learn the root sequences/basic service sets in use in those neighbor networks, or the AP's own stations monitor and send the information in neighbor reports. This latter option can be initiated by the stations themselves, or by the AP.
