Full multi operator core network (MOCN) and mobility to other radio access technologies (RATS)

摘要

A telecommunications node (e.g., base station subsystem) and method are described herein that broadcasts a set of system information messages (e.g., SI2quater messages or pairs of SI2ter messages and SI2quater messages) for use by a legacy mobile station which enhances the overall probability (over time) that the legacy mobile station (non-supporting mobile station) in a network sharing scenario will find frequency, cell information or a combination of both within the broadcasted system information messages to be used for the legacy mobile station's cell reselection process to provide continuity with the legacy mobile station's registered PLMN (i.e. the Common PLMN of a shared radio access network). In addition, the telecommunications node (e.g., base station subsystem) and method can also broadcast a different type of system information message for used by a supporting mobile station.

主权项

1. A telecommunications node for use in a shared radio access network associated with a plurality of dedicated radio access networks, the telecommunications node comprising:
a transmitter; a processor; and a memory that stores processor-executable instructions where the processor interfaces with the memory and executes the processor-executable instructions to enable the following act:
sequentially broadcast a set of first system information messages, wherein each one of the first system information messages is differentiated by an order of multiple instances of neighbor cell information listed therein when compared to the other first system information messages, and wherein the multiple instances of neighbor cell information are associated with one or more of the dedicated radio access networks; andeach one of the first system information messages comprises a SI2quater message, wherein the SI2quater message is configured such that the neighbor cell information contained therein provides at most three frequencies per radio access technology (RAT) and mode, and at most sixty-four frequency and scrambling codes pairs associated with one or more of the dedicated radio access networks.
