A method to provide subscriber type into account for mobility and radio resource management decisions in a radio access network

摘要

A mobile system where generic information is defined which is applicable per the UE in order to convey subscription related information from the core network to the radio access network which can be used to steer the user to an appropriate cell or for any other Radio Resource Management (RRM) related procedure/decision. It is proposed to define an information element (herein referred as subscriber type) which allows an indication or pointer to a set of rules which are locally defined in involved nodes (e.g. CN SGSN, MSC, routers etc) and describe the handling rules to be applied in the RAN for each user of the mobile system independently.
