8. A method for transmitting at least one group message to at least one group of one or more subscriber devices in at least one radio cell of a radio communication network, a base station of each radio cell being controlled by at least one higher-order radio network controller, the method comprising:
-
monitoring, via at least one higher-order radio network controller, how many subscriber devices in each radio cell are currently subscribed to the respective group; and
transmitting to the at least one higher-order radio network controller, by a respective subscriber device via an air interface of the base station associated with a current location radio cell of the respective subscriber device, at least one information signal indicating to the at least one higher-order radio network controller whether the respective subscriber device is currently subscribed to the respective group, with a user ID of the respective subscriber device not being added to the at least one information signal. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A radio communication network for transmitting at least one group message to at least one group of one or more subscriber devices in at least one radio cell of the radio communication network, comprising:
-
one or more subscriber devices;
a respective base station for each radio cell in the radio communication network; and
at least one higher-order radio network controller for controlling the base stations;
wherein the at least one higher-order radio network controller monitors how many subscriber devices in each radio cell are currently subscribed to a respective group, and wherein at least one information signal indicating to at least one higher-order radio network controller whether a respective subscriber device is currently subscribed to the respective group is transmitted by the respective subscriber device via an air interface of the base station associated with a current location radio cell of the respective subscriber device to the at least one higher-order radio network controller, with a user ID of the respective subscriber device not being added to the at least the one information signal. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A subsystem of a radio communication network for transmitting at least one group message to at least one group of one or more subscriber devices in at least one radio cell of the radio communication network, the radio communication network including a respective base station for each radio cell of the radio communication network, comprising:
-
one or more subscriber devices; and
at least one higher-order radio network controller for controlling the base stations;
wherein the at least one higher-order radio network controller monitors how many subscriber devices in each radio cell are currently subscribed to a respective group, and wherein at least one information signal indicating to the at least one higher-order radio network controller whether a respective subscriber device is currently subscribed to the respective group is transmitted by the respective subscriber device via an air interface of the base station associated with a current location radio cell of the respective subscriber device to the at least one higher-order radio network controller, with a user ID of the respective subscriber device not being added to the at least one information signal. - View Dependent Claims (16)

- 17. A radio communication device for receiving at least one group message transmitted to at least one group of one or more subscriber devices in at least one radio cell of a radio communication network, with a base station of each radio cell being controlled by at least one higher-order radio network controller which monitors how many subscriber devices in each radio cell are currently subscribed to a respective group, comprising parts for transmitting to the at least one higher-order radio network controller, via an air interface of the base station associated with a current location radio cell of the radio communication device, at least one information signal indicating to the at least one higher-order radio controller whether the radio communication device is currently subscribed to the respective group, with a user ID of the radio communication device not being added to the at least one information signal.
