UMA GENERIC CGI

摘要

A method for causing GSM location information and UMA billing information to be encapsulated in a single CGI structural element during a standalone UMA network access session comprises a plurality of operations. An operation is provided for applying at least one algorithm to location information of a Mobile Station (MS) serving a subscriber device during a standalone UMA network access session for causing at least one of compressing, re-aligning and repackaging the MS location information whereby an amount of MS location information holding space of a GSM Edge Radio Access Network (GERAN) Cell Global Identity (CGI) structural element occupied by the MS location information is reduced such that a portion of the MS location information holding space becomes unused. An operation is performed for inserting UMA billing information into at least a portion of the unused portion of the MS location information holding space.
