The present invention provides a method of initiation a mobile originating service-based inter-system handover, and devices enabling the method. A communication network comprises at least two radio access networks (RANs) of different types, i.e. a radio access network (RAN) of a first type and a radio access network (RAN) of a second type. A dual-mode mobile terminal designed to be operable with both the RAN of the first type and the RAN of the second type communicates with the communication system via the RAN of the first type. The initiation of the inter-system handover is included in a transmission, which comprises at least one bearer capability (BC) field. The bearer capability (BC) field is set to indicate that a requested service is only operable with the RAN of the second type. In particular, at least one bearer capability (BC) field is set to a parameter value, which serves as indication for the receiving network and its processing entities, respectively, which receiving network indicated to carry out the inter-system handover initiated by the mobile terminal.
Method of initiation an inter-system handover of a mobile terminal accessing a communication network via a radio access network of a first type, wherein the communication network comprises at least said radio access network of said first type and a radio access network of said second type, wherein said initiation of said inter-system handover is included in a transmission including at least one bearer capability field indicating that a requested service is only operable with said radio access network of said second type.
Module for initiation of a mobile originating service-based inter-system handover within a communication network, which mobile terminal is operable with said communication network comprising at least a radio access network of a first type and a radio access network of a second type, wherein said mobile terminal is adapted to access said communication network via said radio access network of said first type;
Mobile terminal enabled for initiation of a mobile originating service-based inter-system handover within a communication network, which mobile terminal is operable with said communication network comprising at least a radio access network of a first type and a radio access network of a second type, wherein said mobile terminal is adapted to access said communication network via said radio access network of said first type;
Network entity enabled for triggering a mobile originating service-based inter-system handover within a communication network, of which said network entity is a part, wherein a transmission is received from a mobile terminal operable with at least a radio access network of a first type and a radio access network of a second type forming said communication network, wherein said transmission of said mobile terminal accessing said communication network via said radio access network of said first type includes at least one bearer capability field, which indicates that a requested service is only operable with said radio access network of said second type.
Communication network enabled for performing a mobile originating service-based inter-system handover, which communication network comprises radio access networks of at least a first and a second type and a network entity for triggering said inter-system handover of a mobile terminal operable with said radio access networks of said first and said second type, wherein said inter-system handover is performed upon a transmission of said mobile terminal accessing said communication network via said radio access network of said first type, wherein said transmission includes at least one bearer capability field indicating that a service requested by said mobile terminal is only operable with said radio access network of said second type.
