Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate restriction on use. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from radio-access-technology-specific access restrictions. A method can include registering a user equipment with a network element. The registering can include identifying user equipment capabilities. The method can also include receiving a response from the network element indicating restriction on use of at least one radio access technology.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code is configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
- register a user equipment with a network element, wherein the registering comprises identifying user equipment capabilities;
- receive a response from the network element indicating restriction on use of at least one radio access technology;
- and
- operate the user equipment in accordance with the indicated restriction.
5 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code is configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
- receive a registration request for a user equipment at a network element, wherein the request identifies user equipment capabilities;
- determine a restriction on use of at least one radio access technology for the user equipment;
- and
- send a response to the user equipment indicating the restriction on use of at least one radio access technology, and indicate to an access node that the access node is to impose at least one restriction on serving at least one radio access technology to the user equipment.
5 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code is configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
- receive a context setup message indicating at least one restriction on serving at least one radio access technology to a user equipment, wherein
- the context setup message comprises access control information with optional validity information;
- and
- impose the at least one restriction on serving at least one radio access technology to the user equipment, based on the context setup message.
