Abstract

A system and method of establishing a network connection for a mobile communication device in a mobile communication network. The method can include receiving an emergency service call identifier from an unregistered mobile communication device, the emergency service call identifier identifying an emergency service request to a home service center, and routing the emergency service request to the home service center. The emergency service call identifier can include a subscriber identification. The method can also include sending a short message service message to the mobile communication device. The short message service message can include an unblock code.

Claims

1. A method of establishing a network connection for an unregistered mobile communication device in a mobile communication network, comprising:

receiving an emergency service call identifier from the unregistered mobile communication device, the emergency service call identifier identifying an emergency service request to a home service center; and

routing the emergency service request to the home service center.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the emergency service call identifier includes a subscriber identification.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising sending a short message service message to the mobile communication device.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the short message service message includes an unblock code.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the receiving step further comprises receiving the emergency service call identifier during a call type setup.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the receiving step further comprises receiving the emergency service call identifier during a random access request from the mobile communication device on a random access channel.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the emergency service call identifier includes

a subscriber identification;

and

a random access channel emergency service call type.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the mobile communication network is local to the mobile communication device and the mobile communication network is remote from the home mobile communication network of the mobile communication device.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the receiving step includes receiving an emergency service call identifier from the unregistered mobile communication device having a blocked subscriber identity module.

10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising:

receiving, from the home service center, an unblock code including data for unblocking the subscriber identity module; and

forwarding the unblock code to the unregistered mobile communication device.

11. A system for communication using a mobile communication device, comprising:

a local network; and

a controller coupled to the local network, the controller configured to receive an emergency service call identifier from an unregistered mobile communication device on the local network, the mobile communication device being in a blocked mode, the emergency service call identifier identifying an emergency service request to a home service center, and the controller is further configured to route the emergency service request to the home service center.

12. The system for communication using a mobile communication device according to claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to receive a subscriber identity from the mobile communication device, forward the subscriber identity to the home service center, receive an unblock code from the home service center, and send the unblock code to the mobile communication device.

13. The system for communication using a mobile communication device according to claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to send a short message service message including an unblock code to the unregistered mobile communication device.

14. The system for communication using a mobile communication device according to claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to receive the emergency service call identifier during a call type setup.

15. The system for communication using a mobile communication device according to claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to receive the emergency service call identifier during a random access request from the mobile communication device on a random access channel.

16. The system for communication using a mobile communication device according to claim 11, wherein the mobile communication network is local to the mobile communication device and the mobile communication network is remote from the home mobile communication network of the mobile communication device.

17. The system for communication using a mobile communication device according to claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to receive an emergency service call identifier from the unregistered mobile communication device having a blocked subscriber identity module.

18. The system for communication using a mobile communication device according to claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to receive, from the home service center, an unblock code including data for unblocking the subscriber identity module and forward the unblock code to the unregistered mobile communication device.

19. A method of establishing a network connection for a blocked mobile communication device in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:

receiving a service request from the blocked mobile communication device in an random access communication on a random access channel;

receiving international mobile subscriber identification information from the blocked mobile communication device; and

forwarding the international mobile subscriber identification information to a home service center.

20. The method according to claim 19, further comprising:

receiving unblocking information from the home service provider; and

forwarding the unblocking information to the blocked mobile communication device.
