A METHOD AND AN ARRANGEMENT IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to an arrangement (1; 1a; 1b; 1c; 1d; 1e) for communication of subscriber identity module related data (901) in a wireless communication system (101). The arrangement compris es a wireless communication terminal (403; 403a; 403b; 403e; 403f) with a subscriber identity unit (303; 303a; 303b; 303c) which is adapted to comprise a subscriber identity module (201; 201 a) to which a subscriber identity (902) is assigned. The present invention also relates to a method for communication of subscriber identity module related data (901) in a wireless communication system (101) for implementation in a wireless communication terminal (403; 403a; 403b; 403e; 403f) with a subscriber identity unit (303; 303a; 303b; 303c). T he subscriber identity unit (303; 303a; 303b; 303c) is arranged to communicate the subscriber identity module related data (901) such as the subscriber identity (902) with the terminal (403; 403a; 403b; 403e; 403f) over a local wireless communication link (404; 404a; 404b; 404c; 404d). The arrangement according to the present invention makes it possible to separate the subscriber identity unit (303; 303a; 303b; 303c) from the terminal (403; 403a; 403b; 403e; 403f) while the terminal (403; 403a; 403b; 403e; 403f) is communicating in the wireless system (101).
