  • Patent number: 8515462
    Abstract: One object of the invention is a method for connection re-establishment in a mobile communication system, comprising: a step wherein a network entity in charge of initiating a paging procedure for a mobile station in idle mode sends a paging request carrying mobility management context information and/or service management context information related to said mobile station, a step wherein, upon the reception of said paging request, network entities in charge of communication over the radio interface in the paging area, store said mobility management context information and/or service management context information and send a paging message over said radio interface, a step wherein a network entity receiving a response to said paging message from said mobile station over said radio interface uses said stored mobility management context information and/or service management context information, for said connection re-establishment over said radio interface for said mobile station.

  • Publication number: 20040203775
    Abstract: A method of allowing access to services in a cellular mobile radio system in which different services are available and in which prior registration is necessary to allow a given user to access given services, said method being essentially characterized in that an attempt to register a user for services that are not allowed initiates the execution of procedures for registering that user for services that are allowed.

  • Patent number: 6792283
    Abstract: A cellular mobile radio network selects a cell when a mobile station accesses the network, if a different cell than initially accessed by the mobile station is better suited to provide the types of services required by the mobile station, and is available. If a better cell is selected, the network initiates a hand over of the mobile station to the selected cell.
