Embodiment Construction

[0029] FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate different shared network scenarios which are for example suitable for UMTS shared network solutions:

[0030] In a Geographically Split Network operators each covering part of a region, for example a country, together provide access in the whole region.

[0031] In a Common Shared Network, e.g. one, UMTS operator provides UMTS service for himself and further operators who operate only GSM networks.

[0032] In a geographically split network, user equipment subscribed to different operators is allowed access to a UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) with different access restrictions for different areas 1, 2, 3 of this UTRAN. An example situation is shown in FIG. 1, in which operator A and B together to cover a whole region but compete in a middle area 2 where they both have coverage. The networks of Operator A and B have an equivalent access technology in this case, i.e. both provide UMTS access. User equipment subscribed to operator B is allowed in t...

Abstract

The invention concerns a method for determining whether to grant access of a user equipment (UE) to a radio access network in a present position of the user equipment (UE) within a communications system. The communications system comprises a control node (N1, N2) handling services for the user equipment (UE) and an access node (AN1, AN2) controlling the access network. The method is initiated by receiving a request for service processing for the user equipment (UE) in the control node (N1, N2) with an identification of the user equipment (UE). A subscriber group information is determined for the user equipment (UE) according to the identification of the user equipment and sent to the access node (AN1, AN2). Furthermore, an area access information according to the present location of the user equipment (UE) is determined in the access node (AN1, AN2). The access granting of the user equipment (UE) to the radio access network is performed according to a logical combination of the subscriber group information and the area access information. A communication network, nodes and software programs embodying the invention are also described.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for determining whether to grant access of a user equipment to a radio access network in a present position of the user equipment within a communications system, the communications system comprising a control node handling services for the user equipment and an access node controlling the access network. A communication network, nodes and software programs embodying the invention are also described.[0002] The radio access networks of customary mobile communication systems comprise one or several base stations for the wireless connection to the user equipment and an access node which controls the base stations and connects them to the core network of the communication system. The access node can be for example a base station controller (BSC) as defined in GSM or a radio network controller (RNC) for a base station subsystem according to UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) specifications. The access node therefore administra...
