Abstract
A method in a network node (115) is disclosed for managing interruptions to Wide Area Network, WAN, operation of a wireless device (110), wherein the wireless device provides Proximity Services, ProSe, over at least two carriers (305, 310). The method comprises determining (804) a configuration of the wireless device for ProSe operation such that an aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device is below an allowed interruption value.

A method in a network node for managing interruptions to Wide Area Network, WAN, operation of a wireless device, wherein the wireless device provides Proximity Services, ProSe, over at least two carriers, the method comprising:
- determining a configuration of the wireless device for ProSe operation such that an aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device due to ProSe operations on the at least two carriers is below an allowed interruption value, wherein the aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device comprises a total of interruptions to WAN operation on the at least two carriers.
A method in a wireless device for managing interruptions to Wide Area Network, WAN, operation of the wireless device, wherein the wireless device provides Proximity Services, ProSe, over at least two carriers, the method comprising:
- configuring ProSe radio resources on the at least two carriers such that an aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device due to ProSe operations on the at least two carriers is below an allowed interruption value, wherein the aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device comprises a total of interruptions to WAN operation on the at least two carriers.
A network node for managing interruptions to Wide Area Network, WAN, operation of a wireless device, wherein the wireless device provides Proximity Services, ProSe, over at least two carriers, the network node comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- memory;
- and
- processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the receiver, the transmitter, and the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:
- determine a configuration of the wireless device for ProSe operation such that an aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device due to ProSe operations on the at least two carriers is below an allowed interruption value, wherein the aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device comprises a total of interruptions to WAN operation on the at least two carriers.
A wireless device for managing interruptions to Wide Area Network, WAN, operation of the wireless device, wherein the wireless device provides Proximity Services, ProSe, over at least two carriers, the wireless device comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- memory;
- and
- processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the receiver, the transmitter, and the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:
- configure ProSe radio resources on the at least two carriers such that an aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device due to ProSe operations on the at least two carriers is below an allowed interruption value, wherein the aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device comprises a total of interruptions to WAN operation on the at least two carriers.
A non-transitory computer readable memory device storing a computer program comprising program instructions that, when executed on a network node configured to operate in a Wide Area Network, WAN, cause the processing circuitry to:
- determine a configuration of the wireless device for ProSe operation such that an aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device due to ProSe operations on the at least two carriers is below an allowed interruption value, wherein the aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device comprises a total of interruptions to WAN operation on the at least two carriers.
A non-transitory computer readable memory device storing a computer program for managing interruptions to Wide Area Network, WAN, operation of the wireless device, wherein the wireless device provides Proximity Services, ProSe, over at least two carriers, the computer program comprising program instructions that, when executed on a wireless device configured to provide Proximity Services, ProSe, cause the processing circuitry to:
- configure ProSe radio resources on the at least two carriers such that an aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device due to ProSe operations on the at least two carriers is below an allowed interruption value, wherein the aggregated interruption to the WAN operation of the wireless device comprises a total of interruptions to WAN operation on the at least two carriers.
