Definitions
- the invention addresses the field of mobile communications. It relates to a method, device and computer program for performing a location update procedure for a 5 mobile subscriber. It relates in particular to a roaming of a mobile subscriber from a 2 n generation system domain like a Global System for Mobile Communication GSM domain to a 3 r generation system domain like a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System UMTS domain, or vice versa.
- a location update procedure is performed to allow a roaming of a subscriber from one to another service domain.
- a mobile subscriber who is registered in a service domain of his Home Public Land Mobile Network HPLMN operator, leaves his home country and moves to a service 15 domain operated by a Nisited Public Land Mobile Network NPLMN operator, the location update procedure is performed to allow for the international roaming.
- Details about service accessibility can be found, e.g., in 3G TS 22.011 v.3.3.0, 3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical Specification Group Services and System Aspects; Service accessibility (Release 1999).
- the term 'roaming' describes as well a scenario, wherein the mobile subscriber has currently not accessed his HPLMN domain, e.g. because the terminal is at present switched off, but accesses while being located in a VPLMN domain the VPLMN domain by switching his terminal on.
- UMTS For UMTS, it is planned to use GSM Subscriber Identity Modules SIMs in a UMTS mobile terminal to get access to service.
- GSM Global System for Mobile communications
- UMTS subscribers will 30 be entitled to national roaming, as it is foreseen that the UMTS networks initially consist of small islands only.
- the subscriber shall have the possibility to register to networks on a national basis in addition to international roaming.
- GSM subscribers are usually not entitled to national roaming. Nevertheless, the GSM subscriber using a dual mode, e.g. GSM-UMTS, mobile terminal shall be able to access both GSM and UMTS systems in his home country as well as abroad.
- GSM-UMTS dual mode
- a GSM subscriber being served by his HPLMN operator's UMTS network moves, he can get out of coverage of his HPLMN operator's UMTS network but in coverage of another UMTS operator's network. According to national roaming agreements for UMTS he is granted service by the visited UMTS network. If getting out of coverage of the visited UMTS network, he is served by the same network operator's GSM network. Although there might be no roaming agreement for GSM existing between the GSM networks, the GSM subscriber cannot be prevented from roaming to the foreign GSM network. Summary of the invention
- a mobile communications system has at least one first communications service domain, e.g. a GSM domain, and at least one second communications service domain, e.g. a UMTS domain.
- a mobile subscriber is allowed to access said first communications service domain, which is e.g. a service domain of his HPLMN operator.
- a location update request is received at a network element, preferably a Mobile Switching Centre MSC or a Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN, of the communications system.
- the network element can be any further network node or part of any further network node of the communications system.
- the inventive function can be performed as well in an HLR.
- a subscription restriction information is received at the network element.
- the subscription restriction information indicates, whether an access restriction for accessing the second communications service domain applies for the mobile subscriber.
- the subscription restriction information is evaluated at the network element, and the location update procedure is performed depending on the evaluation.
- the provision of a subscription restriction information allows for a differentiated treatment of mobile subscribers using dual mode, e.g. GSM/UMTS, terminals with respect to roaming.
- Operators can design their UMTS networks according to island concepts for areas having a high population in an efficient way, while simultaneously providing in general a broad service coverage to their customers via GSM.
- Differentiated roaming agreements can be set with other operators. Individual roaming requirements given by national laws can easily be fulfilled.
- the mobile subscribers can benefit from dedicated roaming possibilities and access entitlements in terms of optimised service coverage.
- a home subscriber data register e.g. a Home Location Register HLR is adapted to store a subscription restriction information assigned to stored data of a mobile subscriber.
- the subscription restriction information indicates at least one access restriction that applies to the mobile subscriber for accessing a communications service domain of a mobile communications system.
- the HPLMN operator keeps by storing the subscription restriction information in his HLR control of the restrictions. Furthermore, easy administration and modification of the subscriber restrictions are possible.
- the operator can use the same Mobile Network Code MNC for both his GSM and UMTS portion of his PLMN, e.g. by simply storing an indicator in the network administration data belonging to the respective service areas giving the corresponding access type, e.g. GSM or UMTS.
- a user equipment of a mobile subscriber is adapted to store a subscription restriction information that indicates at least one access restriction that applies to the mobile subscriber for accessing a communications service domain of a mobile communications system.
- the user equipment can be any terminal like a GSM-, GPRS- or UMTS-phone, -laptop or -adapter.
- the user equipment can comprise a Subscriber Identity Module SIM card that stores the subscription restriction information.
- SIM card Subscriber Identity Module
- the signalling of the subscription restriction information can be performed by a network element, e.g. HLR, by a user equipment, or by both of them.
- a network element e.g. HLR
- an operator can decide for the latter case in particular if there are differences in the restriction information, which one of the signalling sources gets priority.
- the restriction information of the two signalling sources can be evaluated in a complementary way.
- the invention can be realised by a computer program, which is loadable into the internal memory of a digital processing unit, comprising software code portions adapted to control the steps of the described methods, when the computer program is executed on the digital processing unit. Therefore, servers that are by means of the computer program adapted to perform the inventive method can easily represent network elements according to the present invention.
- a location update is performed if the evaluation of the subscription restriction information indicates that an accessing of the second communications service domain is allowed for the mobile subscriber.
- a location update request is rejected if the subscription restriction information evaluation indicates that an accessing of the second communications service domain is not allowed for the mobile subscriber.
- an error information is sent in response to the location update request if the request is rejected, said error information indicating an access restriction as a reason for the rejection. Therefore, redundant re-tries of a location update request that has already been rejected can be avoided.
- the subscription restriction information is received within the location update request sent from a user equipment of the mobile subscriber.
- the receiving network node can evaluate, whether a corresponding accessing and/ or roaming of the mobile subscriber is allowed, without requesting said information from a further network node, e.g. from an HLR. Therefore, signalling traffic can be avoided.
- the subscriber data information is requested from a home subscriber data register, e.g. an HLR, and the subscription restriction information is received within subscriber data information sent from the home subscriber data register.
- a home subscriber data register e.g. an HLR
- the subscription restriction information is received within subscriber data information sent from the home subscriber data register.
- the information is under the control of the HPLMN operator.
- signalling traffic is minimised by using the transmission of subscriber data information, e.g. by a corresponding Mobile Application Part MAP message, which is performed for the purpose of location update, also for the transmission of the subscription restriction information.
- the subscriber restriction information comprises an access network type restriction information indicating an access network type restriction.
- Access network types are e.g. GSM, GPRS, UMTS or Wireless LAN.
- the subscription restriction information comprises a frequency band restriction information indicating a frequency band restriction.
- a frequency band restriction information indicating a frequency band restriction.
- mobile communications systems can use different frequency bands, also called frequency areas, to provide radio access.
- frequency bands are symbolized by a significant frequency, e.g. 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz (all GSM), and 2400 MHz (UMTS).
- the subscription restriction information comprises a Public Land Mobile Network PLMN type restriction information indicating a PLMN restriction.
- PLMN types are e.g. a HPLMN or a VPLMN.
- individual operator identifiers can be PLMN types as well.
- the home subscriber data register HLR is adapted to send on request a subscriber data information comprising a subscription restriction information that applies to the mobile subscriber. Therefore, a network element like a MSC or SGSN can retrieve - based upon a location update request received from a user equipment - the corresponding subscription restriction information in order to evaluate whether the subscriber is entitled to the requested communications service domain access.
- the user equipment is adapted to send a location update request comprising the subscription restriction information, if the user equipment determines a change of its location area.
- the computer program is stored on a computer readable medium like a CD-ROM, a floppy disc, optical disc or hard disk. Therefore, a good physical portability of the control software is provided, i.e. upgrades of network elements represented by servers can be performed in an easy way.

- a subscription parameter can be present in both the subscriber data stored in the HLR as well as on the SBV1 or in the user equipment itself. It can be used for two different types of roaming services allowing network operators (HPLMN and VPLMN) to allow and reject access to their network.
- the serving MSC is able to determine the access type the subscriber used.
- One type of roaming services refers to roaming restriction due to subscription restriction via the HPLMN.
- a currently unused parameter "Subscription restriction" as described in 3GTS 23.008 v. 3.5.0: 3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical Specification Group Core Network; Organisation of subscriber data (Release 99), clause 2.4.10 is enhanced to cover possible scenarios.
- this parameter is downloaded to the visited MSC/VLR (VMSC) at location update.
- VMSC Visit MSC/VLR
- the VMSC grants or rejects access to a roaming subscriber depending on the settings of this parameter and the type of access the subscriber uses.
- a specific error i.e. error code
- This approach can also be used to allow/reject GSM/UMTS roaming in the HPLMN.
- the UMTS SIM contains a parameter giving the same range as the one described in the above paragraph.
- the parameter is introduced as a capability and configuration parameter (3G TS 21.111, v. 3.3.0: 3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical Specification Group Terminals; USBVI and IC Card Requirements, release 1999, clause 10.1).
- the VMSC checks the value of this parameter and grants/rejects access to a roaming subscriber depending on the settings of this parameter and the type of access the subscriber uses. If access is denied, a specific error can be generated and sent to the mobile station of the subscriber, e.g. to trigger network reselection.
