A method for maintaining association between switching units in a network includes the steps of determining that a call is to be routed via a base station, routing units, and a switching unit. The call is then routed via the base station, at least one routing unit, a routing link, and a switching unit. An association message is transmitted to the switching unit to inform it of an address of an additional switching unit. A mobile station within a coverage area of the base station is capable of communicating with the switching units, and elements of the system are configured to address the additional switching unit to determine whether the mobile station is communicating via an appropriate path.

According to one aspect, a communication network system comprising at least one first network and at least one second network providing application services over the first network is described. The system comprises first network means (GGSN) for receiving a message associated with an IP address allocated by the first network from the second network, for detecting that there is no active communication channel for this IP address which is allocated to a user equipment, and for sending an indication that the user equipment is not reachable through this IP address to the second network. The system further comprises second network means (P-CSCF/PCF) for receiving this indication.

The invention is a system and method of controlling an access of a subscriber to a network. The method includes sending an identification of the subscriber and a level of access to be provided to the subscriber from a visited network of a plurality of networks (12, 14, 16) connected to a home network (10); in response to the identification of the subscriber and a level of access to be provided to the subscriber, storing a subscriber profile of the authorized of access to be provided to the subscriber; and controlling access of the subscriber to any network dependent upon a comparison of access to be provided to the subscriber and the stored subscriber profile.

The present invention proposes a method of performing an area update for a terminal equipment (4A, 4B) in a communication network (1, 2, 3, 5, 6), the communication network comprising at least two areas (5, 6) being defined within an access network, at least one of said areas being served by at least two core network elements (1-2, 2-3) of corresponding network element types, each of said at least two core network elements communicating with said access network defining said areas via a different interface (Iu, Gb), the method comprising the steps of: monitoring, at the terminal equipment side, via which of said at least two core network elements (1, 2) serving a currently visited area (5) the communication with the terminal equipment (4A) is effected, detecting, at the terminal equipment side, an area update condition for said terminal (4A, 4B), requesting, by said terminal equipment, an area update for said terminal equipment (4B), and wherein said terminal equipment (4B) sets an identifier in said area update request identifying the core network element via which the communication with the terminal equipment (4A) has previously been effected. Still further, the present invention proposes also an accordingly adapted terminal equipment.

摘要:
The present invention proposes a method for performing a detach of a terminal registered to a telecommunication network by associating an identification for said terminal, deriving a signature for said identification, and allocating a pair consisting of said identification and said signature to said terminal, said method comprising the steps of: sending a detach request including said identification and said identification signature from said registered terminal to said network; receiving said detach request at the network side; comparing said received detach request with a record of registration data of said terminal kept at the network side; and detaching said terminal from said network, if said received detach request coincides with said record of registration data.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and system for changing a subscription information of a subscriber in a data network. When a subscriber profile or subscription information is changed or updated, this is detected and a registration procedure for registering a terminal device (40) of the subscriber to a new serving network element (12) is initiated in response to the result of a checking step for checking whether a capability of a network element (10) serving a terminal device (40) of said subscriber is still in accordance with said changed subscription information. Thereby, an automatic or semi-automatic adaptation of the serving entity to the changed subscription can be achieved.
