Method and Apparatus for Inter Home Node B Cell Update Handling
First Claim
1. A method of cell updating in a communication system comprising (i) a first wireless communications system comprising a licensed wireless radio access network and a core network and (ii) a second wireless communications system comprising a plurality of short range access points for establishing service regions of the second wireless communications system using licensed wireless frequencies and a network controller for communicatively coupling a user equipment (UE) operating in the service regions to the core network, wherein the UE has one or more active sessions on a first access point, wherein the UE does not have a dedicated radio channel between the UE and the first access point, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a second access point, a cell update message from the UE;
sending a cell update request message from the second access point to the network controller, the cell update request message for sending from the network controller to the first access point to request information for handling the cell update message received by the second access point; and
receiving, at the second access point, a cell update response message from the network controller, said cell update response message received by the network controller from the first access point.

Abstract
A method of cell updating system that includes a first wireless communications system that has a core network and a second wireless communications system that includes several short range access points using licensed wireless frequencies and a network controller for communicatively coupling a user equipment to the core network. The UE has one or more active sessions on a first access point. There is no dedicated radio channel between the ULE and the first access point. The method receives a cell update message from the UE. The method sends a cell update request message from the second access point to the network controller. The cell update request message is for sending from the network controller to the first access point to request information for handling the cell update message received by the second access point. The method receives a cell update response message from the network controller.

17. A computer readable medium storing a computer program for cell updating in a communication system comprising (i) a first wireless communications system comprising a licensed wireless radio access network and a core network and (ii) a second wireless communications system comprising a plurality of short range access points for establishing service regions of the second wireless communications system using licensed wireless frequencies and a network controller for communicatively coupling a user equipment (UE) operating in the service regions to the core network, wherein the UE has one or more active sessions on a first access point, wherein the UE does not have a dedicated radio channel between the UE and the first access point, the computer program executable by a processor, the computer program comprising sets of instructions for:
-
receiving, at a second access point, a cell update message from the UE; sending a cell update request message from the second access point to the network controller, the cell update request message for sending from the network controller to the first access point to request information for handling the cell update message received by the second access point; and receiving, at the second access point, a cell update response message from the network controller, said cell update response message received by the network controller from the first access point.
