FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE, THIRD NODE AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY FOR HANDLING ROAMING INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17917722 titled 'FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE, THIRD NODE AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY FOR HANDLING ROAMING INFORMATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for handling roaming information in a communications network. The method involves a first node determining a mobility procedure for a device from a second communications network that is roaming into the first network. The mobility procedure is based on the preference of the second network and can be related to either an Evolved Packet System (EPS) fallback procedure for non-emergency services or an Emergency Service fallback to EPS procedure. The first node then provides an indication of the determined mobility procedure to a second node, which enables the usage of the indicated procedure. A third node sends an indication of the preference to the first node.

  • The method determines a mobility procedure for a roaming device based on the preference of the second network.
  • The determined mobility procedure can be related to either EPS fallback for non-emergency services or Emergency Service fallback to EPS.
  • The first node provides an indication of the determined mobility procedure to the second node.
  • The second node enables the usage of the indicated mobility procedure.
  • The third node sends an indication of the preference to the first node.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in telecommunications networks to handle roaming devices and ensure seamless connectivity.
  • It can be used in both non-emergency and emergency service scenarios to determine the appropriate mobility procedure for a roaming device.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of determining the correct mobility procedure for a roaming device based on the preference of the second network.
  • It addresses the need for efficient handling of roaming information in communications networks.

Benefits

  • The method ensures that the appropriate mobility procedure is used for a roaming device, improving the overall connectivity experience.
  • It allows for seamless transition between networks and ensures uninterrupted service for the roaming device.
  • The method enables efficient communication between nodes in the network, facilitating the usage of the determined mobility procedure.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, performed by a first node, for handling roaming information. The first node operates in a first communications network. The first node determines a mobility procedure to be used for a device from a second communications network while roaming into the first communications network. The mobility procedure is related to at least one of: a) an Evolved Packet System (EPS) fallback procedure for a non-emergency service, and b) an Emergency Service fallback to EPS procedure. Determining the mobility procedure is based on a preference of the second communications network. The first node then initiates providing an indication of the determined mobility procedure to a second node, which receives the indication and enables usage of the indicated mobility procedure. A third node sends a first indication to the first node indicating the preference.
