A base station includes a control unit that controls one or more identifiers to be installed on a plurality of transmission points in accordance with the number of control signals transmitted from the transmission points to one or more wireless terminals or the number of radio resources used to transmit the control signals to the one or more wireless terminals.

A system comprising means for: receiving a request for locations of a plurality of devices for communicating in a network, said request comprising an identifier for identifying said plurality of devices; checking whether each of two or more devices of said identified plurality of devices has been registered on the network; in response to determining that at least one device of the two or more devices has been registered on the network, determining and reporting at least one location for the at least one device determined to be registered on the network; and in response to determining that at least one device of the two or more devices has not been registered on the network, storing at least one indication of at least one pending request for at least one location of the at least one device not registered on the network.

Telecommunications data may be summarized into mathematical statistics that may not correlate with conventional semantic attributes. Such statistics may be difficult to observe without access to the telecommunications data, and therefore may be much less susceptible to social engineering attacks or other privacy-related vulnerabilities. The mathematical statistics may represent first, second, or higher order behavior-related observations relating to subscribers physical movements, engagement of applications and web browsing on a mobile device, as well as usage and billing of a mobile device. The statistics may not correlate to semantic identifiers for subscribers, and therefore may be difficult to observe and therefore identify specific subscribers whose statistical summaries may be known.

A method for routing communication calls via VoIP and via PSTN to communication devices and computer program products thereof A user (B) having a communication device (H) running an application (D) receives a communication call and upon the user (B) having decided, for a given data network, and before the call being received, which one of a VoIP or PSTN interface be preferred for receiving the call, the method comprising: if the VoIP interface is preferred, routing the communication call by a Communication Call Control Service (F) to the mobile communication application (D) as a VoIP call, and delaying the routing of the communication call over the PSTN interface; or if the PSTN interface is preferred, routing the communication call via the PSTN interface as a PSTN call, and if the result of the PSTN call indicates that said communication device (H) is not registered in the PSTN network further routing the communication call via the VoIP interface. Route and combine VoIP and PSTN incoming call alerts to maximise chance for the call to be answered.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for monitoring User Equipment (UE) reachability in a wireless communication system. More specifically, a method for monitoring UE reachability in a wireless communication system comprises receiving, by a Mobile Management Entity (MME), a message for monitoring the UE reachability including UE reachability related indication from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS); and allocating, by the MME, an Active Time to a UE, wherein the UE reachability related indication is used for setting the Active Time of the UE and wherein the UE reachability indication is used for the UE to stay reachable so that downlink data that a server wants to transmit to the UE can be transmitted to the UE.

The subject matter described herein generally relates to making an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) available at a base station, such as an evolved node (eNodeB) base station, within a cellular network, for example, a long term evolution communications system. The base station can receive data in response to a data request. The received data can include a header including an international mobile subscriber identifier. The base station can generate a first data for use in performing at least one communication function based on the received international mobile subscriber identifier. The base station can transmit the first data to at least one server communicatively coupled to the base station. Related apparatuses, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

The present disclosure describes various techniques to provide network access to a user equipment by using network infrastructure and/or wireless spectrum from an asset operator. In an aspect, a network device associated with the asset operator may receive a request for wireless wide area network (WWAN) access for a UE. The network device may identify the UE as a subscriber of an operator based at least in part on the request, where the operator is different from the asset operator, and where the network device is configured to provide WWAN access to subscribers of the operator via a core network associated with the operator based at least in part on a services agreement between the operator and the asset operator. The network device may then provide WWAN access to the UE in response to identifying that the UE is a subscriber of the operator.
