摘要:
In case of both circuit-switched and a packet-switched connection handover from a source (200) to a target (510) radio access network or base station subsystem a new target ID indication message (415.1; 415.2) is sent to a core network node (422) either from a core network element (215) or from the target radio access network or base station subsystem, depending on whether there is an interface (Gs) between the core network element and the core network node. In one embodiment, in contrast to the prior art, the new target ID indication message is mandated to only identify one target base station or target radio access network.

A system and method for minimizing signalling loads due to mutual exchanges of information between neighboring cells in which the same session is transmitted, and for reducing the time required to transmit MBMS neighbor cell information messages in a serving cell when a higher level of signalling occurs, wherein all broadcast control channel (BCCH) carriers indicated in a BCCH allocation are monitored by a mobile station (MS). A list of the cells having the strongest non-serving carriers is updated as often as the duration of the running average for measurements of the BCCH allocation. Base transceiver station identity codes (BSICs) and neighboring cell indexes of BCCH carriers are added to an uplink radio link control/medium access control (RLC/MAC) message that is transmitted to a network. As a result, the network is provided with the identity of which cell the mobile station is most likely to reselect to upon reception of the uplink RLC/MAC control message carrying the BSICs and neighboring cell indexes of the neighboring non-serving BCCH carriers of the mobile station.

Before execution of a routing area update (RAU) procedure associated with a handover of a mobile station (40) from a source cell to a target cell in a mobile telecommunication system, a handover required message (14) is sent to a core network (CN) from a source base station (16) in the source cell having a mobile station identifier (IMSI), an identifier of at least one target cell routing area code (RAC) and a temporary logical link identity (TLLI). In response thereto, a handover command message (32) is sent to the source base station from the core network having a packet-temporary mobile subscriber identity (P-TMSI) for transfer to the mobile station in ciphered form over a radio interface between the source base station and the mobile station so that the mobile station is able to send packet-switched (PS) data on an uplink before the RAU procedure is executed.
摘要:
A method with which cellular network terminals are informed of a possibility to use services of 3G mobile communication networks in a radio access network. A spare bit of the broadcast message SI3 of GSM system is defined as a bit indicating, whether the current GERAN cell supports UMTS service through the Iu interface or not. In a favourable case, another SI message is broadcast including a description of the PBCCH where Iu information for mobile stations is placed. Should the GERAN support also the GPRS service, said another message is SI13, and if the GERAN does not support the GPRS service, said another message is SI13alt. This message can only be employed by UMTS capable mobile stations. By means of the invention the information presumed by the use of the UMTS network can quickly be acquired by a mobile station, which for example arrives in a GERAN cell.

摘要:
A system and method for reducing idle mode power consumption for mobile stations (MS) that have joined a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) session and are waiting for the session to start. The invention is also directed to reducing the power consumption of an MS for which an MBMS session is inactive. In alternative aspects of the invention, the power consumption of mobile stations is reduced in the absence of ongoing MBMS session activity. Reduced power consumption is achieved by eliminating the need to read notification messages from an MBMS specific notification paging group when the notification message is for a different MBMS session than the paging group that the MS has currently joined.
摘要:
A system and method for minimizing the gap in service during the reception of an MBMS session due to the reselection of a neighboring cell in which that MBMS session is not ongoing, wherein a mobile station (MS) indicates its target cell and MBMS service id (i.e., BSIC, neighboring cell index, and Temporary MBMS Group Identity (TMGI)) to a network by sending this information to the network in an RLC/MAC message, e.g., a packet downlink ACK/NACK or with a new message. If the network has resources available for allocation, the network is permitted to allocate these resources for the MBMS session indicated by the MS and send corresponding MBMS neighbor cell information to the MS upon receipt of the packet downlink ACK/NACK or the new message. When the MS receives the MBMS neighbor cell information, it will then reselect to the target cell identified by the MBMS neighbor cell information.
摘要:
The problem of synchronization of the handover of the CS and PS resources to the same target cell during DTM handover is solved without affecting the performance of the CS handover. The mechanism of synchronizing the handover of the PS and CS resources is supported by the following functions: (1) resource indications on the CS and PS handover signalling to indicate to target cell network nodes that the CS and PS handover is ongoing at the same time for the same MS; (2) allocated resources indications on the CS and PS handover signalling to indicate to the source cell nodes that there are resources available in the target cell for CS and PS resources; (3) management of the synchronization of the CS and PS handover in the source and target cell.
