摘要:
The application relates to charging of traffic from terminals and in particular of charging of traffic from GPRS mobile terminals which are roaming in a visited PLMN (not claimed). According to the applicant's acknowledged prior art, either the traffic passes the home PLMN or the Home Operator relies on the Visited Operator to generate the CDRs to be used by the Home Operator for billing. Whereas the first solution leads to tromboning and inefficient traffic routing, the second solution calls for a strong trust relationship between the Home and the Visited Operators. The present invention circumvents both problems in that the terminal generates a traffic counting information and sends it to the Visited Network. The Visited Network generates a traffic counting record comprising the traffic counting information from the terminal and traffic counting information from the Visited Network. The traffic counting record is subsequently sent to the Home Network.

摘要:
A method is provided for facilitating recovery from the failure of a P-CSCF within an IP multimedia Subsystem network. A gateway, such as a GGSN, monitors signals arriving at the gateway from the P-CSCF and provides an indication if the monitored signals become unacceptable, for example because of an interruption in the signals. The gateway responds by signalling the unavailability of the P-CSCF to user equipment, which was associated with the P-CSCF during a previous registration with the IMS network. In response, for example, the user equipment affected by the failure may request re-registration with the IMS network using a different available P-CSCF.

A server for controlling user MTC devices. The server ascertains if a user MTC device has an IP connection to a cellular access network, and if so, sends a message to trigger the user MTC device to initiate an application defined in the message. If a user MTC device does not have an IP connection, the server ascertains if the user MTC device is a mobile or a stationary user MTC device, and for a stationary user MTC device, the server sends a message to the cellular access network to trigger the user MTC device to initiate an IP connection, and for a mobile user MTC device, waits until the user MTC device has an IP connection, and for both kinds of user MTC devices, when the user MTC device has an IP connection, transmits a message to the user MTC device to initiate an application defined in the message.

The embodiments herein relates to a method in a target Mobility Management Entity, MME, for allocating bearers in a target network, which target MME is comprised in the target network and which target network comprises a first number of existing bearers. When a second number of required bearers is larger than the first number of existing bearers in the target network, the target MME transmits an allocation request message to a target base station. The allocation request message comprises a request for allocation of the first number of existing bearers and a request for allocation of a third number of extra bearers in the target network.
摘要:
A method of selecting a target core network of a communication network for handing over a voice session of a terminal from a packet switched source radio access network (RAN) to a target RAN. The voice session is anchored in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem, and the selected target core network includes a circuit switched domain which is associated with the target RAN and supports voice session continuity to hand over the voice session from the source RAN to the target RAN. The target RAN is associated with a network identification of the target core network. The method is executed by a node and includes receiving a network identification of at least one target core network associated with at least one target RAN. The target core network is selected based on an indicated support of voice session continuity by the network identification.

A method (100) for use in a Mobility Management Entity, an MME, in an LTE system, comprising (110) obtaining and determining the capability of a mobile terminal in the LTE system regarding the mobile terminal's capability for handover over from the LTE system to a 2G and/or a 3G system, comparing (115) the mobile terminal's capability and the LTE system's capability for Single Radio Voice Channel Continuity, SRVCC, handover over from the LTE system to a 2G and/or a 3G system, and, depending on the outcome of the comparison, instructing (120, 125) the mobile terminal to use Voice over LTE, VoLTE, or Circuit Switched, CS, fallback when initiating voice sessions.
摘要:
A network architecture comprising at least one core network, each core network comprising a number of packet data gateway access supporting nodes GASNs handling mobile user station access over an access network, said core network(s) further providing access to one or more global packet data communication networks (IN), and one or more nodes holding subscriber or mobile user station related information. The GASNs are further adapted to support intercommunication over a mobility protocol interface to, at reception of a request for change of access type from a mobile user station, establish information about the previous GASN of the mobile user station, and to, using the established information, update an established communication context concerning the mobile user station or create a new communication context concerning the mobile user station such that mobility between different access network types is enabled for a mobile user station without interruption of an ongoing session.
摘要:
There is provided methods for a user equipment (UE) and a user equipment being adapted to be attached and connected to a 2G/3G access network via a mobile switching centre (MSC) for performing at least circuit switched, CS, communication, or via a LTE access network and further on to a mobility management entity (MME) node, for performing packet switched, PS, and/or circuit switched, CS, communication. The user equipment (UE) is being adapted to receiving page signals (11, 12, 13) from the network side so as to inform the user equipment of incoming calls, the user equipment moreover being adapted to respond to page signals, such as by issuing page response signals (20). The user equipment (UE) is being adapted for responding with an Extended Service Request (15) message to the mobility management entity (MME) for triggering the mobility management entity (MME) to initiate handover to the 2G/3G access network. The user equipment—when receiving a page request (13; 61) stemming from a mobile switching centre (MSC), such as an IMSI page message (13) via a MME (12), and the IMSI page message contains a IMSI (62) and a CS domain indicator,—the user equipment being adapted for, without attempting to re-attach (63) to the mobility management entity (MME) over which the page was received, issuing a page response message (20; 68) to the mobile switching centre (MSC), thus performing cell reselection (67) to a 2G/3G access network for performing CS communication via the mobile switching centre (MSC).
