APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR SELECTING A FREQUENCY BAND IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method and apparatus. In the method, an apparatus, for example, a base station, receives radio interface capabilities from a mobile node. The apparatus receives a subscriber frequency band priority profile identifier from a mobility management entity node. The apparatus finds an entry from a frequency band priority data structure using the subscriber frequency band priority profile identifier and the at least one radio interface capability and obtaining at least one frequency band priority from the entry. The apparatus applies the at least one frequency band priority to control the mobility of the mobile node.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by an apparatus, information on at least one radio interface capability of a mobile node; receiving, by the apparatus, a subscriber frequency band priority profile identifier from a core network node, the subscriber frequency band priority profile identifier being associated with a mobile subscriber of the mobile node; finding, in the apparatus, an entry from a frequency band priority data structure by using the subscriber frequency band priority profile identifier and the at least one radio interface capability; obtaining, in the apparatus, at least one frequency band priority from the entry; and using, in the apparatus, the at least one frequency band priority to control at least one of target cell and frequency band selection of the mobile node.
