  • Patent number: 9301079
    Abstract: The present solution relates to providing a call service in a communication system, where in response to recognizing a predetermined event related to a user terminal (UEA), it is checked (203, 204) whether the user terminal (UEA) is a roaming user terminal (UEA) roaming in a visited packet switched network. It is also checked (203, 204) whether the user terminal (UEA) is defined to use a home network routing function in the visited packet switched network. If the user terminal (UEA) is a roaming user terminal (UEA) roaming in the visited packet switched network and defined to use the home network routing function in the visited packet switched network, the home network routing function is over overridden by performing (209) a forced setup of the call service to a local circuit switched network.

  • Patent number: 9049624
    Abstract: A method where a first type location area of a mobile node is registered to a first mobility management node. A second type location area is determined based on a location of the mobile node. A second type location area of the mobile node is registered to a second mobility management node of a second system. A request to perform user plane bearer establishment through the second system is received. Thereupon, radio measurements associated with at least two candidate cells are obtained from the mobile node. Candidate cells are searched to find at least one cell associated with the second type location area. A cell is selected among the at least one cell, which is indicated to the selected cell to the mobile node. A handover request is provided to the mobile node.

  • Patent number: RE45984
    Abstract: A method for setting up a radio traffic channel in a 3G-network shared between at least two operators. The network's traffic channel resources are divided into operator specific parts, the parts not sharing any common traffic channels. User equipment is allocated channel resources in accordance with it's associated operator, according to a coarse level allocation control, which may be overridden in case no idle traffic channels are available. The allocated traffic channel is preferably associated with the user equipment operator and is furthermore idle in as a large area as possible and/or exhibits an optimum QoS, thereby maximizing network capacity and throughput by minimizing the probability of inter-frequency handover signalling and compressed mode operations. A radio network controller includes installed software, which carries out the traffic channel allocation and control.
