  • Publication number: 20020097693
    Abstract: In a call between mobiles 18, 19 located in the same UTRAN 24, and in which at least one mobile has an IMSI, a method of providing local switching in which the RNC 22 sends on an uplink from the first mobile 18 to the CN 10 information related to the first mobile, such as its IMSI, and stores at least a part of that information; when the RNC 22 receives the same information on a downlink from the CN 10 to the second mobile 19, it recognizes that the mobiles are within the same UTRAN 14 and performs local switching. Delay is reduced and the call can be charged at local rates. Instead of the IMSI, data frames from the first mobile 18 can be stored by the RNC 22 for comparison.
