SIGNALLING CONNECTION TO A POOL OF NETWORK ELEMENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a method of supporting the set-up of a signalling connection of a user equipment to a mobile communications network, wherein a radio network element broadcasts a pool identifier identifying a pool of network elements, furthermore to a method of setting-up a signalling connection by a user equipment to a mobile communications network. The user equipment receives a first pool identifier identifying a pool of network elements of the communications network, compares it with a second pool identifier and sends an initial transfer message comprising a pool registration parameter to a radio network element of the mobile communications network. The invention relates further to a method of setting up a signalling connection by the radio network element to a pool network element by determining said element. The invention relates further to corresponding computer programs, radio network elements and user equipment.
