Abstract
The present invention relates to a solution for indicating cell characteristics that apply specifically for a mobile terminal (3) accessing a radio cell (4) of a network node (1) in a telecommunications system (10). This is provided in methods and devices for providing and handling a node identifier string with mobile terminal cell specific properties to the mobile terminal. The node identifier string may be provided in a radio resource control communication message.

A method in a radio network access node in a radio access network, for indicating characteristics of a cell of said access node to a mobile terminal accessing said cell through said access node comprising providing a node identifier string to said terminal from said access node, said identifier string being indicative of cell specific properties specifically applicable with said terminal within said cell.
A method implemented in a mobile terminal accessing a radio network access cell in a radio access network, for indicating characteristics of said cell on said terminal, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a node identifier provided from a network access node of said cell, said identifier being indicative of cell specific properties specifically applicable with said terminal within said cell;
- and
- matching said received node identifier with a pre stored node identifier associating to a set of terminal specific cell properties being pre stored in a memory space of said terminal.
An access node of a telecommunications network, arranged to indicate characteristics of a radio cell of said access node to a mobile terminal accessing said cell, wherein the access node is arranged to provide a node identifier string to said terminal from said access node, said identifier string being indicative of cell specific properties specifically applicable with said terminal within said cell.
A mobile terminal accessing a radio cell of an network access node in a telecommunications network, arranged to indicate characteristics of said cell, wherein said terminal is arranged to receive a node identifier provided from the network access node of said cell, said node identifier being indicative of cell specific properties specifically applicable with said terminal within said cell and further arranged to compare the received node identifier with a pre stored, in the memory of the terminal, node identifier associating to a set of terminal specific cell properties being pre stored in a memory space of said terminal.
