Patent Images
1. A telecommunication method for a telecommunication network providing discontinuous radio coverage, the telecommunication network having a plurality of cells, the method comprising:
- providing a data stream to a mobile terminal within the coverage of a first one of the plurality of cells, interrupting the data stream when the mobile terminal is moved outside the coverage, determining the location of the mobile terminal outside the radio coverage, predicting a second one of the plurality of cells to be the target cell of the mobile terminal on the basis of the location determination, providing the data stream to a server being assigned to the second one of the plurality of the cells, resuming the data stream to the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is within the coverage of the second one of the plurality of the cells.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a telecommunication method for a telecommunication network providing discontinuous radio coverage, the telecommunication network having a plurality of cells, the method comprising:
- providing a data stream (126) to a mobile terminal within the coverage of a first (100) one of the plurality of cells, interrupting the data stream when the mobile terminal is moved outside the coverage,
- determining the location (142) of the mobile terminal outside the radio coverage,
- predicting a second one of the plurality of cells (102) to be the target cell of the mobile terminal,
- providing the data stream to a server (112) being assigned to the second one of the plurality of the cells,
- resuming the data stream to the mobile terminal (138) when the mobile terminal is within the coverage of the second one of the plurality of the cells.

5. A computer program product for a telecommunication network providing discontinuous radio coverage, the computer program product comprising instructions for:
-
entering of location information being descriptive of a location of a mobile terminal outside the radio coverage of the telecommunication network, predicting one of a plurality of cells of the telecommunication network to be the target cell of the mobile terminal on the basis of the location information, providing a data stream to the one of the plurality of the cells prior to arrival of the mobile terminal within the coverage of the one of the plurality of the cells. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
