Abstract:
In an embodiment, there is provided a method for reducing the load due to user location change reporting for location-based policy and/or charging control services for said user, in a mobile communication system wherein granularity of user location includes granularity at cell level and/or granularity at service area level, a service area (or Location or Routing or Tracking Area) comprising a set of cells defined at network operation level, a method wherein said user location change reporting is based on at least one of: a granularity of reporting at a base station level, whereby a user location change is reported upon change of serving base station, a granularity of reporting at a policy area level, whereby a user location change is reported upon entering or leaving a policy area, a policy area comprising a set of cells and/or serving areas, defined at policy and/or charging control level, for a granularity of reporting at a cell level or at a service area level or at a policy area level, a deferred user location change reporting until user plane activity is resumed, in case said user is not currently active in the user plane.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, there is provided a method for service differentiation in a network sharing architecture for a mobile network wherein an Access Network AN is shared by different Service Providers SPs, said method comprising at least one step based on an identification of an SP by an SP identity that does not require this SP to own a PLMD-Id, for service differentiation in said AN.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, there is provided a method for overload control in a packet mobile communication system, said method comprising a step of: in case of overload, throttling downlink traffic received for mobile terminals in idle mode when this traffic belongs to a mobile terminal or to a mobile terminal connection declared as candidate for throttling.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, there is provided a method for session transfer between Access Networks for a User Equipment UE, said method including insertion in a signaling path of a Service Continuity Application Server anchoring said session in IMS, said method including: insertion of a Service Continuity Application Server V-SCC-AS located in a Visited PLMN V-PLMN for a UE roaming in said V-PLMN.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, there is provided an architecture for the support of CS domain services over a Packet only mobile system such as the Evolved Packet System access, in a mobile communication system comprising an Evolved Packet System (EPS) and a CS domain in turn comprising at last one Mobile Switching Center MSC, said architecture comprising at least one Interworking Function IWF, such that IWF is perceived as a Radio Network Controller RNC or a Base Station Controller BTS by a MSC, and as an Application Server by the EPS.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a radio network controller (BSCI), for a radio access communication network, comprising processing means (MT), upon receiving from an alarm centre (CA) a message of a first SMS-CB type associated with a selected class of alarm of a selected level, containing an alarm text message addressed to mobile terminals (T) located in at least one selected cell controlled thereby, for interrupting transmission to the mobile terminals, located in each selected cell, of any message of SMS-CB type associated with a class of level lower than that of the selected alarm class, and optionally all other communication of said terminals (for example, telephone calls thereof), so that the first message may be broadcast to the mobile terminals which are located in each selected cell controlled thereby and so that some at least of said mobile terminals should transmit an alarm signal (for example radio) and display the alarm text message contained in the first message.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method for Quality of Service management in a mobile communication system is provided, comprising, in an embodiment: temporarily providing, to a Bearer that has just been established for Non Real Time services, a higher priority than requested at Bearer establishment.
Abstract:
One object of the present invention is a method for Mobility Management MM in a system architecture supporting mobility between different access systems having separate Core Network CN-level MM entities while using common MM Area, said method comprising a step of: when a User Equipment UE leaves the coverage of a first one of said access systems where it is in a Non Radio Connected state as seen from Radio Access Network RAN, but seen in Connected State from CN-level MM entity, for the coverage of a second one of said access systems where it is in Idle state as seen from CN-level MM entity, putting the UE into Idle state as seen from CN-level MM entity of said first access system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for a handover of a UE (User Equipment) currently engaged in a voice call. More particularly, the invention relates to a handover from 1) a packet based radio where Voice Service is provided via VoIP over the radio and is controlled via Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based signalling (e.g. LTE, E-UTRAN or WIMAX radio) to 2) a radio access network where Voice Service can be only provided via circuit switched (CS) domain (a visited mobile switching centre (VMSC) is needed) such as legacy 3GPP UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN)/GSM/Edge Radio Access Network (GERAN) coverage. A MSC-S entity acting as a Packet Core Control Node on a Packet Switched (PS) network and as an Anchor Visited Mobile Switching Centre (VMSC) for a handover to a Circuit Switched (CS) network on the CS domain side is proposed, the MSC-S preparing a new path with a remote UE-B and a CS domain handover towards a target legacy radio coverage before requesting a UE-A to execute the handover.
Abstract:
One object of the present invention is a method for for configuring a cellular mobile communication network with Tracking Areas, comprising: a step of configuring a Radio Access Network entity, with at least one Tracking Area it is to be associated with, a step of registering a thus configured Radio Access Network entity onto a Mobility Management function and/or Paging Coordination function, for said at least one Tracking Area.
