Base Station Controller

Base Transceiver Station

designates equipment(s) for connecting one or several wireless access points to a wired or wireless infrastructure in order to allow communication(s) between users' inside or outside the wireless network.

designates the termination point of a tunnel toward a mobile node, for datagrams forwarded to the mobile node while it is away from home.

means a physical or logical connection selectively established for the purpose of conveying messages or information between users or networks.

means network resource(s) allocated or reserved for an affiliated user.

designates the state of a user/terminal having active, i.e. allocated logical traffic/control channel, dormant or suspended, i.e. without allocated logical channels but with maintained service instances. It also incorporates context (PDP context), User Plane, Control Plane operations.

transports control information used to control the function of the network element ("signalling channel", e.g. paging channel, broadcast channel, pilot channel).

means the wireless link from a wireless access point or network towards the user or terminal equipment (see also "uplink").

designates the network performing functions at a permanent location regardless of the location of the user's access point. The home network is responsible for subscription information management and for specific services not provided by the serving network; dedicated equipment used therefore is designed by HLR (Home Location Register); also for Home Agent, Home Subscriber Server.

designates the state of a user/terminal having no active traffic/control channel and no active service instances but being affiliated to the network (see also "Null state").

designates the association of a home address with a care-of address, along with the remaining lifetime of that association.

designates techniques or arrangements allowing operation of, or services to be provided to, a user capable of selecting or changing his point of attachment to the network.

designates a host or router that changes its point of attachment from one network or sub-network to another, without changing its home address.

means a plurality of communication links established over one or a plurality of networks for transferring information to one user/terminal.

means the physical or logical entities involved in providing communication services to users.

designates the state of a user/terminal having no active traffic/control channel and no active service instances.

means a user/terminal acting as a requester for communication towards a wireless access point.

means distributing/committing specific resources to a particular/specific network component.

designates networks owned and operated by non-public authorities.

Quality of Service

means allocation a resource to a communication.

means committing a resource to an entity for future allocation thereof for communication.

Radio Network Controller

means establishing an order of transmission of communication information based on precedence or priority policies.

designates the part of the network to which the access point providing user's access is connected. The serving network is responsible for path finding and transport of users data; dedicated equipment used therefore is designed by VLR (Visitor Location Register); also for Foreign Agent, Visiting Subscriber Server.

Service Level Agreement

means an entity recognized and authorized as user.

means the equipment acting as/or on behalf of a user.

means a user/terminal specified as a recipient for communication from within or via a wireless network.

transports communication information (user data) to and from one or several users.

means the wireless link from the user or terminal equipment towards a wireless network or access point (see also "Downlink").

means an entity acting as an information source (sender, transmitter, server) or information sink (recipient, receiver, client).

means equipment using a pre-defined dedicated wireless link.

means a communication link established via radio, infra-red, inductive or other electromagnetic radiation.

means a communication link using a specific frequency, time, code or space (or combination thereof).

designates an infrastructure deployment involving partitioning geographical areas in a plurality of sub-areas (zones, cells) for the purpose of reusing wireless resources.
