IDENTIFICATION OF HOME AREA IN A MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and device at a mobile telecommunication system for identification of home area (H). The home area is defined by the coverage area for one or more base stations in the mobile telecommunication system. At registration of home area, a customer (K) calls the mobile telephone system via a special call number. The mobile telephone system identifies the call number as well as the customer in question. After that, an equipment for recording of home area (I) is initiated. The customer after that travels around in the intended home area at which the telecommunication system registers which base station/stations (B) are activated during said registration phase. The registration phase can relate to one or more calls to the mobile telephone system. Information regarding which base stations that are activated in connection with registration of the home area (H) is transmitted from the mobile telephone system to the equipment for recording of home area. The information is after that registered in a database (D). The customer after that may have access to certain services within the home area or a lower charge than in the rest of the mobile telephone network.
