Patent number: 10448252Abstract: A GSM, UMTS or LTE mobile telecommunications network includes a radio access network comprising base stations, and further includes one or more additional access points. An access point may be connected to the network core by an IP transport broadband connection. The access point is configured to appear to the mobile terminal as a base station. Arrangements are disclosed which allow the network to restrict access to the network via these access points whilst also minimizing signaling requirements. The access points may be excluded from traditional Tracking Areas, but associated therewith by a network controller in a mapping in order to notify authorized mobile terminals of the Access Point's existence.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Vodafone IP Licensing LimitedInventors: David A. Fox, Timothy Frost, Gavin Wong, Jonathon Batkin, Jose-Luis Carrizo-Martinez

Patent number: 8682292Abstract: A GSM or UMTS mobile telecommunications network is disclosed. In addition to the conventional radio access network comprising the base stations, one or more additional access points are provided. An access point is connected to the network core by an IP transport broadband connection. The access point is configured to appear to the mobile terminal as a conventional base station—that is, it communicates with the mobile terminal using GSM or UMTS transport protocols and does not require any modification to a standard GSM or UMTS mobile terminal. Access Points are typically not under the direct control of the network provider. Arrangements are disclosed which allow the network provider to verify that the access point a mobile terminal is about to commence communicating through is at a particular location. Differential charging may be performed in dependence upon a subscriber's location.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Vodafone Group PLCInventors: Jonathon Batkin, Jose Luis Carrizo Martinez

Patent number: 8085715Abstract: A mobile telecommunications network includes a radio access network comprising base stations and one or more additional access points. An access point is connected to a network core by an IP transport broadband connection. The access point is configured to appear to the mobile terminal as a conventional base station—that is, for example, it communicates with the mobile terminal using GSM or UMTS transport protocols and does not require any modification to a standard GSM or UMTS mobile terminal. Access Points may not be under the direct control of the network provider, and so are more susceptible to security threats. The described system allows the network provider to verify that the access point through which a mobile terminal is about to communicate is a legitimate and trusted base station and/or is at a particular location. Differential charging may be performed in dependence upon a subscriber's location.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2007Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Vodafone Group, PLCInventors: Alan Law, Paul Edwards, Peter Howard, Jonathon Batkin, Jose Luis Carrizo Martinez
