Claims19
A method comprising:
- storing a mapping of zone identities and location areas;
- receiving a handover requisition message for a subscriber, the message comprising information relating to a location area of a handover destination;
- obtaining an information comprising at least one of a list of zone identities indicating zones wherein the subscriber is allowed to access services and a list of zone identities indicating zones wherein the subscriber is not allowed to access services;
- and
- verifying if the location area of the handover destination belongs to a zone wherein the subscriber is allowed to access services.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a handover requisition message comprising information relating a location area of handover destination for a subscriber;
- a storage configured to store a mapping of zone identities and location areas;
- a verifier configured to verify if the subscriber is allowed access services in the location area of handover destination;
- and
- a transmitter configured to send a resultant message based on the result of the verifying in said verifier.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a first handover requisition message;
- and
- a transmitter configured to send a second handover requisition message comprising an indication of zones wherein the subscriber is allowed to access services.
A system comprising:
- a first apparatus comprising a first receiver configured to receive a first handover requisition message comprising information relating a location area of handover destination for a subscriber, a storage configured to store a mapping of zone entities and location areas, a verifier configured to verify if the subscriber is allowed access services in the location area of handover destination, and a first transmitter configured to send a resultant message based on the result of the verifying in the verifier, said system further comprising:
- a second apparatus comprising a second receiver configured to receive the first handover requisition message, and a second transmitter configured to send a second handover requisition message comprising an indication of zones wherein the subscriber is allowed to access services.
