Mobile telecommunications system

摘要

A method of processing a handover request from a base station controller (BSC) of a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication)-type network. The method comprises the steps of passing a handover request with GSM-type parameters from a base station controller (BSC) through a Master Switching Center (MSC) of the GSM-type network to a UMTS core network (CN) and to a Radio Network Controller (RNC) of the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) network, translating the GSM-type parameters to UTRAN parameters in the Radio Network Controller (RNC), and allocating UTRAN resources in response to the translated parameters.

1. A method of establishing a Universal Mobile Telecommunication system (UMTS) communication between User Equipment (UE) and a UMTS network, wherein the User Equipment is in communication with a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM)-type network, the method comprising:
forwarding, in a handover command, at least one UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) parameter to the User Equipment via the GSM-type network; in the UE, receiving the handover command and at least one UTRAN parameter, wherein the at least one UTRAN parameter comprises a list of at least one radio link; and in the UE, using the at least one UTRAN parameter in a transfer of communication from the GSM-type network to the UMTS network.
