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:
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:
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.
Abstract:
Systems with support nodes (30) for transmitting multicast information to terminals (40) via radio networks controlled by radio network controllers (33) are provided with service detectors (54) for detecting multicast services supported by the radio networks and with contact instructors (55) for, in response to negative detection results, instructing the radio networks to contact the terminals (40) individually instead of contacting the terminals (34-39) as a group. Only radio network controllers (33) located in hotspot areas (81) need to be adapted to handle the multicast service. The terminals (40) comprise identifier selectors (43) for selecting access point identifiers to be sent to the support nodes (33) for identifying an individual bearer to be used for transmitting the multicast information, and identifier detectors (44) for detecting the access point identifier in a bearer set up message. The support nodes (33) further comprise identifier suppliers (56) for supplying the access point identifier received from the terminal (40) to the bearer set up message.
