摘要:
A method and apparatus performs handover from an OFDM-based E-UMTS system to a CDMA-based UMTS system. A UE in communication with a PDN via the E-UMTS system, measures signal strength of the UMTS system, and sends a measurement report message indicating the measured signal strength to the E-UMTS system. A radio access network (E-RAN) of the E-UMTS system, determines whether to perform handover from the E-UMTS system to the UMTS system based on the measured signal strength. If the handover is to be performed, a core network (E-CN) of the E-UMTS system generates a PDP context and an MM context for the UE in response to a handover request from the E-RAN. The E-CN sets up a data tunnel for the UE to a GGSN of the UMTS system using the PDP/MM context. After setting up the data tunnel, the E-CN sends to the UE a handover command message including information on a radio bearer (RB) to be used by the UE to access the UMTS system. The UE accesses the UMTS system using the RB information. After accessing the UMTS system, the UE forwards user data for the UE via a data transmission path composed of the E-CN, the data tunnel, a SGSN, and a RAN of the UMTS system, between the PDN and the UE.

A method and apparatus for performing an inter-RAN L2 handover and an inter-CN L3 handover in a packet-switched network are provided. When a UE connected to an old CN through the old RAN moves to a new RAN belonging to a new CN, an old RAN sends a handover required message to a new RAN. The new RAN acquires a new IP address for the UE from the new CN and sends a handover command message including the new IP address to the old RAN. The old RAN forwards the handover command message comprising an address of the new RAN to the UE. The UE performs an inter-RAN handover in response to the handover command message, to communicate with the old CN through the new RAN and performs an inter-CN handover based on the new IP address to communicate with the new CN through the new RAN.

A method and apparatus is provided for reducing a signaling overhead in routing area update performed by a mobile station in a mobile communication system. The method includes grouping cells of the mobile communication system into predetermined cell groups by the network entity, wherein each of the predetermined cell groups is a minimum unit for routing area update; determining cell group identifiers of the cell groups by the network entity; and determining metric information for determining a shape of the routing area by the network entity.

摘要:
A method for supporting a communication service of an idle mode terminal located in a common routing area in a mobile communication system that includes a Node B, an Access Gateway (AGW), and a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), and has a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network and a 3rd Generation (3G) network connected to each other to perform transmission/reception. The AGW receives tracking area information of the LTE network, including routing area information of the 3G network, from the idle mode terminal via the Node B. The AGW sends common routing area indication information and identification information of the terminal to the HSS if the routing area information is coincident with the tracking area information. The HSS stores the common routing area indication information and the identification information of the terminal, and sends a response message according to the indication information.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing a L3 handover between CNs in a packet-switched network are provided. When a UE moves from an old RAN to a new RAN, the UE sends a measurement report message including cell information to the old RAN. The old or new RAN determines whether to perform a L3 handover. If the L3 handover is required, a tunnel is established between the new RAN and a new CN. The UE performs a handover from the old RAN to the new RAN, without establishing a tunnel between the new RAN and an old CN. Upon detection of the movement of the UE, the new RAN sends a L2 handover complete message to the old RAN. After moving to the new RAN, the UE acquires a new IP address, performs the L3 handover, and communicates with the new CN through the new RAN.
摘要:
A method and system in which upon occurrence of a P-CSCF failure, a network sends an IMS reregistration request message to a UE. An S-CSCF or an AS monitors a P-CSCF to detect occurrence of a failure in the P-CSCF. Upon detecting the occurrence of a P-CSCF failure, the S-CSCF or the AS sends a request message for IMS reregistration to the UEs being served by the failed P-CSCF. In this manner, the UE can continuously receive the service even though a failure occurs in the P-CSCF.

A method and system for processing a call change request in an IMS are provided, in which a network entity receives a call request message requesting a first call from a calling UE, stores call information and caller information of the call request message, forwards the call request message to a called UE, acquires, upon receipt of a call change request message requesting change of the first call to a second call from the called UE during the first call, the caller information of the calling UE using an old call information included in the call change request message and the stored call information, inserts the caller information in receiver information of the call change request message, delivers the call change request message to the calling UE, and establishes the second call between the calling UE and the called UE by replacing the first call with the second call.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for communications of a UE using an IP address in a mobile communication system are provided. When the UE moves from an old subnet managed by an old gateway to a new subnet managed by a new gateway, the UE determines whether there are allocated radio resources. In the absence of the allocated radio resources, the UE determines whether an IP-based application service is in progress. If the IP-based application service is in progress, the UE determines to reuse an old IP address in the new subnet. If the IP-based application service is not in progress, the UE determines to use a new IP address in the new subnet. Then the UE sends to the new gateway an RAU request message including an indication indicating whether the old IP address or the new IP address will be used in the new subnet.
