摘要:
A mechanism for providing a connection from an IP-based network to a circuit-switched network, such as a GSM network is disclosed. A temporary routing number for the circuit-switched network, such as an E.164 number, is delivered to a user terminal, and a circuit-switched call leg is established from the user terminal to the IP-based network using the routing number. Thereby, IMS-services are provided for end users which are located in the radio access network not having sufficient QoS required for voice over IP. In the example of a conference call service, a request for a conference call may forwarded via a data channel or data path to an application server which provides that conference call service. The application server then selects a conference routing number and returns the routing number to the conference host terminal via the data channel. Using the received conference routing number, the conference host terminal can then set up a circuit-switched connection as a call leg of the conference call.

摘要:
A method and a wireless telecommunication system of performing network-assisted handover of calls between a serving network and another wireless network that employs communication protocols different from those of the serving network. A message is sent from a mobile station of a user to the serving wireless network, which includes an indication that the mobile station is capable of communicating with the neighboring wireless network. Information relating to the communication characteristics of the neighboring wireless network is also sent from the serving wireless network to the mobile station. Using the information relating to the communication characteristics of the neighboring wireless network, the mobile station receives radio signals from the neighboring wireless network. The quality of the radio signals between the mobile station and the neighboring wireless network is measured. The serving wireless network sends a message to the neighboring wireless network to request a handover of the communication transaction when the quality of the radio signals between the neighboring wireless network and the mobile station meets a predetermined minimum threshold. Then a handover of the communication transaction from the serving wireless network to the neighboring wireless network is executed after the neighboring wireless network has established a communication channel for the mobile station pursuant to the handover request.
摘要:
A method for monitoring a connection to a user terminal in a telecommunications system and a telecommunications system comprising an element (CSCF) controlling a connection to a user terminal (UE) and a system part (SGSN, GGSN) providing transport of user data, which system part is separate from said controlling element, wherein a system element which knows the state of the connection to the user terminal (UE) is arranged to send an indication message to the controlling element (CSCF) indicating the state of the connection, and the controlling element (CSCF) is arranged to decide the state of the connection to the user terminal (UE) based on the indication message received.
摘要:
A method, a system, or an article of manufacture provides Mobility Management (MM), for example, an update procedure, in a Core Network (CN) of a mobile communication system. The Mobile Station (MS) includes an indicator which defines an update type. The update type includes: all CN entities; one type of CN entity only. If the indicator has the update type of all CN entities, the MS registers all CN entities. If the indicator has the update type of one type of CN entity only, the MS registers the one type of CN entity only. The CN entities may be MSC/NVLR CN entity, SGSN CN entity, or other CN entity. The method includes the MS determining to which of the CN entity to perform the update procedure; the MS updating the CN entity; the CN acknowledging the MS whether update is successful or failed; and the CN acknowledging the MS whether update of other CN entity is needed, if needed, the CN defining to which of the CN entity to perform update, and continuing the update of the defined CN entity. The MS does not have to know the services subscribed to a user, nor does the MS have to know the configuration of the CN.
摘要:
A method and arrangement for implementing the acquisition of data relating to network-specific supplementary services and a method for updating subscriber data relating to network-specific supplementary services in a telecommunications system. The subscriber data relating to the network-specific supplementary services is permanently stored in a subscriber identity module (12) of a user terminal. The user terminal (11) is arranged, at least when registering in a visited network (30), to automatically transmit the subscriber data relating to the supplementary services of the visited network (30) for temporary storage to the subscriber database (34) of the visited network (30).
摘要:
A cellular radio access network and a location updating in a cordless communications system, in a cellular radio access network (1), which is connected to one or more core networks (2, 3, 4, 5) or services (SP2 to SP5), each of them having a dedicated mobility management. In a cell, identities of all those location areas are broadcast to which said cell belongs. A subscriber terminal (MS) sends to the radio access network only one location updating message irrespective of how many core networks (2, 3, 4, 5) or services (SP2 to SP5) have a simultaneously changing location area at a handover from one cell to another. On the basis of the information contained in the location updating message, the network (1) defines the core networks or services and location areas to which the location updating applies and sends a location updating message informing the new location of the subscriber or the subscriber terminal separately to each defined core network or service.

The present invention proposes a method for performing a relocation procedure for a user equipment (UE) communicating in a communication network and being movable therein, said communication network comprising at least two serving nodes (SGSN1, SGSN2) of a core network of said communication network, each of which serving nodes being connected to at least one access network controller (RNC1, RNC2) of a access network of said communication network, each of which access network controllers being adapted to perform a communication with said user equipment (UE) within its coverage area, and each serving node being assigned to a respective routing area (RA1, RA2), said method comprising the steps of monitoring (S100) the occurrence of a relocation condition, deciding (S200), whether said relocation condition is an inter serving node relocation condition, switching (S400) the communication from a first access network controller (RNC1) of a first serving node (SGSN1) to a second access network controller (RNC2) of a second serving node (SGSN2), when the decision in said decision step (S200) is positive; maintaining (S600) the control of communication in the core network anchored in the first serving node (SGSN1) while the communication connection is in a first state (S500); and changing (S700) the control of communication in the core network to the second serving node (SGSN2), when a changing condition is detected (S500). The present invention also proposes a corresponding system and network element.
摘要:
A cellular mobile telephone system is provided. The system operates on frequency bands each of which comprises a respective total number of sub-bands. Each sub-band has a different respective frequency. The system includes a network of base stations, and mobile stations. The mobile stations comprise a given mobile station communicating with the network on a sub-band within a current operational frequency band comprising one of the operational frequency bands. The network transmits to the given mobile station certain information regarding designated sub-bands for which the given mobile station is to perform measurements. The certain information comprises a minimum number of alternate sub-bands of an alternate operational frequency band other than the current operational frequency band. The given mobile station receives from the network the certain information and transmits to the network a measurement report comprising measurement results for a number of alternate sub-bands equal to at least the minimum number but less than the total number of alternate sub-bands.
摘要:
The present invention is a novel and improved method for managing in a single location the ciphering keys and algorithms used for encrypting or ciphering the communications of a specific mobile station with multiple core networks or core network entities. Further another aspect of the invention is that the management location is movable as the mobile station moves within the radio access network.
