Response To CS Paging Request

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for handling a paging request for a Circuit Switched session, when the paging request is intended for a terminal attached to a Packet Switched cell in a radio access network and having one or more ongoing Packet Switched sessions. The request is received at a node in the radio access or core network to establish a Circuit Switched session with the terminal whilst the terminal has one or more ongoing Packet Switched sessions. The importance of the ongoing Packet Switched session is determined at the node, and the paging request is rejected if any of the ongoing Packet Switched sessions is more important than the Circuit Switched session. The node may be a MME, an eNodeB or the terminal itself.
