A communication apparatus that causes an external apparatus to operate through a remote control, the communication apparatus comprising a communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with the external apparatus, and an instruction accepting unit configured to accept an instruction of an operation for the external apparatus to execute, wherein the communication unit establishes a wireless connection with the external apparatus upon the instruction accepting unit accepting the instruction, and transmits an operation command corresponding to the instruction to the external apparatus and disconnects the wireless connection with the external apparatus upon the external apparatus executing part of a series of operations corresponding to the operation command, without waiting for the remaining operations to be executed.

A system, base station and method are disclosed for detecting a radio network problem. For a handover failure occurs on a user equipment (UE), a first base station receives, problem information about the occurred handover failure from the UE, after a radio resource control (RRC) connection is reestablished or established between the UE and a cell controlled by the first base station. The first base station then transmits the received problem information to a second base station controlling a cell where the handover failure occurs. In this way, the network side can automatically identify and detect the handover failure. As such, the network can perform self-adjustment and optimization, therefore improving the network performance and satisfying use requirements of users.

A technique for implementing AP-local dynamic switching involves Layer 2 switching. This may be accomplished by providing data associated with wireless stations to an AP sufficient to enable the AP to determine whether traffic from a particular wireless station should be locally switched. Alternatively, the wireless station may be able to determine whether to locally switch traffic based upon the traffic itself. For example, it may be desirable to AP-locally switch voice traffic to avoid latency, which is particularly detrimental to voice transmissions such as voice-over-IP. Traffic that is not to be switched locally is Layer 2 tunneled upstream.

A second internet protocol network is logically connected to a packet data network connection provided between a user equipment and a first internet protocol network over a radio access network, the second internet protocol network located on a data path from the first internet protocol network to the user equipment. The first internet protocol network represents the highest level internet protocol point of attachment to the packet data network connection. Router advertisements are sent from the second internet protocol network to the user equipment over the radio access network via the packet data network connection.

The present disclosure provides a method for exchanging information between electronic devices, and an electronic device. The method includes at a first electronic device: determining that a request for exchanging information from a second electronic device is valid, after receiving the request; acquiring an information area with respect to the request, and selecting area data corresponding to the information area; and after or at the same time of the selection of the area data, establishing a communication connection with the second electronic device, and transmitting the area data over the communication connection. After coming into contact with the second electronic device, the electronic device equipped with the touch screen, as the first electronic device, may establish and perform data transmission with the second electronic device. Compared with the conventional methods that require transmission via mobile communication or 3G communication, the present disclosure can reduce cost for the user of the electronic device, and provide more diversified services and higher transmission bandwidth.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for handling the expiration of an inactivity timer. A cellular communications system may include a gateway (GW), for example, a converged gateway (CGW) or a local gateway (LGW). The GW may intercept a first message from the eNB intended for a mobility management entity (MME). The first message may include an indication to initiate removal of a first bearer and a second bearer. The first bearer may include an SI bearer associated with the eNB and the GW and/or include a Radio Bearer associated with the eNB and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRLI). The second bearer may include an S I bearer associated with the GW and a serving gateway (SGW). The GW may determine to maintain the second bearer to maintain a communication path associated with the GW and a WTRU and/or send a second message to the eNB to remove the first bearer.

A charging and data transfer method for use in a pressure support system adapted to provide a regimen of respiratory therapy to a patient includes establishing a near-field wireless coupling interface between a pressure generating device base unit of the pressure support system and a wireless peripheral device (32) of the pressure support system, transferring energy from the pressure generating device base unit to the wireless peripheral device over the near-field wireless coupling interface and using the transferred energy in the wireless peripheral device to charge an energy storage device (72) of the wireless peripheral device, and transferring pairing information between the pressure generating device base unit and the wireless peripheral device over the near-field wireless coupling interface.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to manage the establishment of a dual connection. A method according to an example embodiment may include causing a dual connection setup request message to be transmitted to a local area access point (LAAP) and causing a dual connection command to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE). The method further includes receiving a dual connection establishment complete message and causing resources associated with one or more split bearers to be released or suspended.

The present invention provides a method for processing paging from a server managing mobility in a mobile communication network. The method comprises: receiving from a network node a notification with respect to downlink data to be relayed to user equipment; transmitting a paging signal with respect to the user equipment to one or more base stations; receiving a context request with respect to the user equipment from a different server; recognizing that the paging will fail if the context request with respect to the terminal is received before receiving a reply to the paging; relaying a context reply to the different server depending on the recognition; and transmitting a processing request message with respect to the downlink data to the network node.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for call re-establishment. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include determining a radio link failure between a user equipment and a base station; and sending, by the user equipment after the determined radio link failure, a request to re-establish a connection, wherein the request includes layer information identifying the base station in a network. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
