REMOTELY CONFIGURING ETHERNET LAYER FUNCTIONALITY

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for remotely configuring Ethernet protocol functionality in a terminal device connected to a cellular communications network. One aspect provides a network node comprising a communications interface for communicating with the cellular communications network, a radio interface for communicating with a terminal device, and one or more processors. The network node is configured to receive, from the cellular communications network, a request to send an Ethernet configuration message to a terminal device connected to the cellular communications network, transmit the Ethernet configuration message to the terminal device and receive a response message from the terminal device.
