  • Publication number: 20170078938
    Abstract: A method and device for initiation a mobile originating service-based inter-system handover. At least two radio access networks (RANs) of different types, i.e. RAN of a first type and a RAN of a second type. A dual-mode mobile terminal communicates with the communication system via the RAN of the first type. The initiation of the inter-system handover is included in a transmission including a bearer capability (BC) field. The BC field indicates that a requested service is only operable with the RAN of the second type. In particular, at least one BC field is set to a parameter value, which serves as indication for the receiving network and its processing entities, respectively, which receiving network indicated to carry out the inter-system handover initiated by the mobile terminal.

  • Patent number: 8812000
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of initiation a mobile originating service-based inter-system handover, and devices enabling the method. A communication network comprises at least two radio access networks (RANs) of different types, i.e. a radio access network (RAN) of a first type and a radio access network (RAN) of a second type. A dual-mode mobile terminal designed to be operable with both the RAN of the first type and the RAN of the second type communicates with the communication system via the RAN of the first type. The initiation of the inter-system handover is included in a transmission, which comprises at least one bearer capability (BC) field. The bearer capability (BC) field is set to indicate that a requested service is only operable with the RAN of the second type.

  • Patent number: 8363639
    Abstract: A method for initiating a call is disclosed. In the method, after selection of a carrier type for the call, an attention command string including an indication of the selected carrier type is sent to a communication device from a device. The communication device may then initiate a call set-up procedure based on the indication of the selected carrier type included in the attention command string.

  • Publication number: 20060229064
    Abstract: A method for transmitting trace data to a network tester, comprising: tracing data transmission between a mobile terminal and a network, transmitting the trace data by using a standardized interface specification, and controlling, via specific AT commands, the setting of the trace parameters and the communicating of the trace data. The method is applied by a trace system comprising a network tester and a mobile terminal arranged for collecting trace data and for communicating the trace data to the network tester, a standardized interface and control means for setting the trace parameters and for communicating the trace data, controlled with specific AT commands. The network tester of the system arranged to collect trace data which applies to the data transmission, comprises a standardized interface.

  • Publication number: 20030114158
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing an intersystem handover of a mobile terminal accessing a communication network via a radio access network of a first type. The communication network comprises at least this radio access network of this first type and a radio access network of a second type. In order to enable an access to the communication network with a radio access technology required or desired by the mobile terminal, the intersystem handover is initiated by a transmission of the mobile terminal to the communication network, which transmission comprises information indicating that an intersystem handover from the radio access network of the first type to the radio access network of said second type should be performed. The invention equally relates to a corresponding mobile terminal, to a corresponding communication network, to a corresponding communication system, to a network element of a communication network and to a web switch of a communication system.
