Abstract:
A cellular telecommunications network architecture is described where certain UEs are configured to assist the network to improve coverage in regions of poor radio conditions. In certain embodiments, appropriate UEs are selected to act as a dynamic, out-of-band coverage extensions. Network performance can thereby be improved when serving users at the cell edge(or in other poor radio condition regions of a cell). Data from UEs connected to those assisting UEs is encrypted to allow secure transit of data without requiring modification to the RAN or Core Network.

Claim (Index 7):
A method of communication between a cellular communication aggregation device and a cellular core network, the method comprising:\n establishing a cellular wireless connection from a radio system of the cellular communication aggregation device to a node of a macro cellular radio area network (RAN), the RAN comprising at least one node configured to provide a macro cell and being connected to a cellular core network, the cellular core network comprising a security gateway (SecGW) connected to a gateway, the gateway provided with an aggregator Access Point Name (APN) providing access to an aggregator SecGW, wherein the radio system connects to the macro RAN node to establish an Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer using the aggregator APN, wherein the EPS bearer transfers data from the cellular communication aggregation device across the macro RAN node and a secure connection from the macro RAN node to the SecGW to terminate at the gateway; establishing cellular wireless connections from a base station radio subsystem of the cellular communication aggregation device to one or more other cellular communication devices to thereby enable an aggregator EPS bearer to be established for transferring data from the other cellular communication devices across the EPS bearer, wherein the aggregator device acts as a base station in the connection; and establishing a secure connection between a security function of the cellular communication aggregation device and the cellular core network via the cellular wireless connection to the cellular macro cellular radio area network, wherein the secure connection:\n secures the data received by the base station radio system from the one or more other cellular communication devices in the aggregator EPS bearer; and \n carries the secured data from the base station radio system and routes the secured data to the aggregator SecGW for further transport in the aggregator EPS bearer, to be terminated at the or another gateway provided with an internet APN for routing the unencrypted data received in the aggregator EPS bearer to a packet data network (PDN).
