Abstract
Description
Background technique
[0001] The invention relates to a method of using a GSM / UMTS mobile communication network, in particular by a user equipment connected to a core network of an Evolved Packet System (EPS) mobile communication network.
[0002] The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has specific capabilities for Evolved Packet System (EPS) networks and devices to allow them to use legacy circuits provided by Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks Exchange (CS) service.
[0003] The motivation for this feature is that Circuit Switched (CS) services, such as voice and SMS services today, are not available on Evolved Packet System (EPS), since Evolved Packet System (EPS) only provides Packet Switched (PS) services fact.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for functionality that allows an Evolved Packet System (EPS) terminal - when it is registered in the Evolved Packet System (EPS) - when there is no...
