Abstract:
A method for performing Cell-Updates or URA-Updates in a mobile communication system (10) is disclosed, whereby a user Equipment (UE) (19) sends a Cell-Update message or URA-Update message to an SRNC (16a). The transported Cell-Update message or URA-Update message includes a sequence counter which is incremented each time the UE (19) sends such a message to the SRNC (16a). The SRNC (16a) stores the value of the sequence counter for each Cell-Update message or URA-Update message received and acknowledged. If the SRNC (16a) receives a Cell-Update message or URA-Update message with a corresponding sequence counter value that is lower than the sequence counter value stored for the previously received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message, then the SRNC (16a) ignores the received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message. Also, the SRNC (16a) does not store the sequence counter value for the ignored, received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message.
Abstract:
In a radio access network, a SRNC relocation procedure (100, 100') is performed for relocating a role of a serving radio network controller (SRNC) for a telecommunications service involving a user equipment unit (UE) from a first radio network controller (261) to a second radio network controller (262). In accordance with various modes of the SRNC relocation procedure, the first radio network controller signals to the second radio network controller information for linking transport channels utilized for the service with a radio access bearer (RAB) for the service. In a first mode of the invention, the signaling links a dedicated transport channel (DCH) utilized for the service with a radio acces bearer (RAB) for the service. In second through fourth modes of the invention, during the SRNC relocation procedure the signaling links uplink and downlink transport channel (TrCH) IDs with the radio access bearer (RAB) identifier. Preferably but not exclusively, in accordance with the SRNC relocation procedure the signaling of the information for linking the transport channels with the radio access bearer (RAB) for the service occurs at a time when a user equipment unit (UE) involved in the service is not changing cells, with the signaling being routed via a core network. Advantageously, the SRNC relocation procedure of the invention allows the target SRNC node to utilize, after the relocation, the same transport channels as before the location, without having to make new allocations of transport channels.
Abstract:
A method for performing Cell-Updates or URA-Updates in a mobile communication system is disclosed, whereby a User Equipment (UE) sends a Cell-Update message or URA-Update message to an SRNC. The-transported Cell-Update message or URA-Update message includes a sequence counter which is incremented each time the UE sends such a message to the SRNC. The SRNC stores the value of the sequence counter for each Cell-Update message or URA-Update message received and acknowledged. If the SRNC receives a Cell-Update message or URA-Update message with a corresponding sequence counter value'that is lower than the sequence counter value stored for the previously received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message, then the SRNC ignores the received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message. Also, the SRNC does not store the sequence counter value for the ignored, received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message.

Abstract:
Un método para llevar a cabo, para un servicio de telecomunicaciones, una reubicación de un rol de un servidor controlador de red de radio desde un primer controlador de red de radio (261) a un segundo controlador de red de radio (262), caracterizado porque para un servicio para el que se da la reubicación, el primer controlador de red de radio envía una señal al segundo controlador de red de radio con información para enlazar un canal de transporte utilizado para el servicio con una portadora de acceso de radio para el servicio, y en el que después de la reubicación el RAB para el servicio está enlazado mediante un segundo controlador de red de radio al mismo canal de transporte que fue utilizado por el primer controlador de red de radio para el servicio previo a la reubicación.

Abstract:
Un método de procesamiento de una conexión de unidad de abonado en respuesta a detectar un fallo en un nodo en un sistema de comunicación (10) donde las conexiones se establecen entre una red externa (12, 14) y las unidades de abonado (30) por medio de una red de acceso (22), caracterizada por los pasos de: detectar un fallo en un nodo del sistema de comunicación; determinar una o más conexiones de unidad de abonado afectadas por el fallo detectado; y enviar un mensaje identificando la una o más conexiones de unidad de abonado afectadas.
Abstract:
A network prepares a capabilities message which is broadcast by a base station to advise mobile user equipment units of services (radio access technology type, generation, and radio frequency band) supported by the base station. The capabilities message includes a bitmap which contains, for each potential service, a bit indicating whether that service is supported. In addition, the capabilities message contains preferred network identifiers. These preferred network identifiers correspond to the preferred network(s) available for each supported service. In addition, a handover requirements message provides the user equipment unit with a bitmap indicating the services for which the base station requires the user equipment unit to make handover measurements and reports.
