PROCEDURES FOR CONTROLLING ALTERNATIVE RADIO-ACCESS TECHNOLOGY (RAT) IN MULTI-RAT CAPABLE TERMINALS

摘要

There is provided a method for controlling different parts of a terminal that are able to communicate over at least a first radio access technology protocol and a second radio access technology protocol, where said first and second radio access technology protocols are different and wherein said method includes the steps of detecting (1301) in logical parts that operate a first radio access technology protocol that at least parts of a second radio access technology protocol should be activated or deactivated; transmitting (1303) an indication from logical parts that operates a first radio access technology protocol to logical parts that operates a second radio access technology protocol where said indication is an input to said logical parts that operate the second radio access technology protocol to activate or deactivate parts of second radio access technology protocol.
