Method, apparatus and network node to identify the connections affected by a node failure in an access network.

摘要

A method of processing a connecting subscriber unit in response to detecting a failure in a node in a communication system (10) where the connections are established between an external network (12, 14) and subscriber units (30) via an access network (22), characterized by the steps of: detecting a failure in a node of the communication system; determining one or more subscriber unit connections affected by the detected failure; and send a message identifying the one or more subscriber unit connections affected.
