System and Method for Tunneling System Error Handling Between Communications Systems
First Claim
1. A method for error handling by a controller in an interworking system, the method comprising:
- receiving a notification of an occurrence of an error in a first communications system;
determining if the error is a long-term error; and
causing a device in a second communications system with a session in the first communications system to halt communications with the first communications system if the error is a long-term error, wherein device in the second communications system with the session in the first communications system is not caused to halt communications with the first communications system if the error is not a long-term error.

Abstract
A system and method for tunneling system error handling between communications systems are provided. A method for error handling by a controller in an interworking system includes receiving a notification of an occurrence of an error in a first communications system, determining if the error is a long-term error, causing a device in a second communications system with a session in the first communications system to halt communications with the first communications system if the error is a long-term error, and not causing the device in the second communications system with the session in the first communications system to halt communications with the first communications system if the error is not a long-term error.

13. A method for error handling in an interworking system, the method comprising:
-
receiving error information indicating that a long-term error has occurred in a first communications system, the error information received by a management controller of a second communications system; and causing a device in the second communications system with a connection to the first communications system to halt communications with the first communications system in response to the error information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A management controller comprising:
-
a receiver to be coupled to a receive antenna for receiving signals detected by the receive antenna; a transmitter to be coupled to a transmit antenna for transmitting signals with the transmit antenna; a controller coupled to the receiver and to the transmitter, the controller configured to propagate error information related to an error detected in a first communications system to a device in a second communications system having a connection to the first communications system; a mapping unit coupled to the controller, the mapping unit configured to maintain a mapping of the device to a controller in the second communications system serving the device; and a message generate unit coupled to the controller, and to the transmitter, the message generate unit configured to generate an error information message to be propagated to the device desiring to establish the connection with the first communications system. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
