Receiving radio access technology priority settings depending on the operation mode of a terminal

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and arrangements of handling inter-working between different radio access technologies in a telecommunication system comprising communication network nodes (10; 15) communicating with a plurality of user equipments (18) on uplink (17) and downlink (16) channels. Radio access technology priority settings depending on in which operation mode said user equipment (18) is in, sent by the communication network node (10; 15), are received in the user equipment (18).

主权项

1. A method in a user equipment of handling interworking between different radio access technologies in a telecommunication system, wherein the telecommunication system comprises communication network nodes communicating with a plurality of user equipments on uplink and downlink channels, the method comprising:
operating the user equipment in a first operation mode among multiple operation modes defined within a particular one of said radio access technologies; receiving first radio access technology priority settings specific for the first operation mode; switching to operating the user equipment in a second operation mode among said multiple operation modes, the second operation mode differing from the first operation mode; and receiving second radio access technology priority settings specific for the second operation mode, the second radio access technology priority settings configuring the user equipment to prioritize said radio access technologies differently than the first radio access technology priority settings.
