Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of operation of a network node and a network node for executing the method to enable definition of an allowed area in which data services are provided to a wireless device, the allowed area having a size defined by one or more criteria comprising a predefined maximum number of tracking areas within the allowed area, the method comprises: upon attachment of the wireless device, accepting registrations of new tracking areas for the allowed area of the wireless device as long as the one or more criteria that define the size of the allowed area are satisfied.
Claims19
A method of operation of a core network Traffic Handling Function, THF, to enable definition of an allowed area in which data services are provided to a User Equipment, UE, the allowed area having a maximum size defined by one or more criteria indicating a predefined maximum number of tracking areas within the allowed area, the method being performed by the THF and comprises:
- once the UE is attached, accepting registration of a new tracking area for the allowed area of the UE when the UE registers in the new tracking area, as long as the number of tracking areas already registered for the allowed area of the UE is less than the predefined maximum number of tracking areas within the allowed area.
A core network Traffic Handling Function, THF, that enables definition of an allowed area in which data services are provided to a User Equipment, UE, the allowed area having a maximum size defined by one or more criteria indicating a predefined maximum number of tracking areas within the allowed area, the THF comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor whereby the THF is operable to:
- once the UE is attached, accept registration of a new tracking area for the allowed area of the UE when the UE registers in the new tracking area, as long as a number of tracking areas already registered for the allowed area of the UE is less than the predefined maximum number of tracking areas within the allowed area.
