Abstract
Embodiments herein relate a method performed by radio network node for handling communication of a UE in a wireless communication network. The radio network node is configured to determine to initiate or avoid initiation of a process for handing over communication of the UE from the radio network node of a first RAN to a second RAN based on whether the communication includes an emergency service or not, and an identity associated to the second RAN and/or the first RAN based on the target PLMN ID.
Claims20
A method performed by a radio network node for handling communication of a user equipment (“UE”) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- determining to avoid initiation of a process for handing over (“HO”) communication of the UE from the radio network node of a first radio access network (“RAN”) to a second RAN when the communication includes an emergency service based on an identity associated to the second RAN indicating that the second RAN is a public land mobile network (“PLMN”) restricted during emergency communication;
- and
- subsequent to determining to avoid initiation of the process for HO the communication, communicating additional communications with the UE,
- wherein determining to avoid initiation of the process comprises determining to avoid initiation of the process when the communication includes an emergency call based on the second RAN being associated with a different PLMN than the first RAN and is associated to a different PLMN of a different operator than the first RAN.
A radio network node for handling communication of a user equipment (“UE”) in a wireless communication network, the radio network node comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- memory coupled to the processing circuitry and having instructions stored therein that are executable by the processing circuitry to cause the radio network node to perform operations comprising:
- determining to avoid initiation of a process for handing over (“HO”) communication of the UE from the radio network node of a first radio access network (“RAN”) to a second RAN when the communication includes an emergency service based on an identity associated to the second RAN indicating that the second RAN is a public land mobile network (“PLMN”) restricted during emergency communication;
- and
- subsequent to determining to avoid initiation of the process for HO the communication, communicating additional communications with the UE,
- wherein determining to avoid initiation of the process comprises determining to avoid initiation of the process when the communication includes an emergency call based on the second RAN being associated with a different PLMN than the first RAN and is associated to a different PLMN of a different operator than the first RAN.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein that are executable by processing circuitry of a radio network node to cause the radio network node to perform operations for handling communication of a user equipment (“UE”) in a wireless communication network, the operations comprising:
- determining to avoid initiation of a process for handing over (“HO”) communication of the UE from the radio network node of a first radio access network (“RAN”) to a second RAN when the communication includes an emergency service based on an identity associated to the second RAN indicating that the second RAN is a public land mobile network (“PLMN”) restricted during emergency communication;
- and
- subsequent to determining to avoid initiation of the process for HO the communication, communicating additional communications with the UE,
- wherein determining to avoid initiation of the process comprises determining to avoid initiation of the process when the communication includes an emergency call based on the second RAN being associated with a different PLMN than the first RAN and is associated to a different PLMN of a different operator than the first RAN.
