SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING DISCOVERY OF LOCAL SERVICE AVAILABILITY IN LOCAL CELLULAR COVERAGE
First Claim
1. A method for use in an user equipment (UE) comprising:
- receiving an indication of a type of connectivity available in a telecommunication cell;
wherein an indication of the type of connectivity available is one or more of;
local internet protocol access (LIPA) connectivity;
selected internet protocol traffic offload (SIPTO) connectivity; and
remote connectivity.

Abstract
Local IP Access (LIPA) allows an IP-capable user equipment (UE) connected via a femto cell direct access to other IP-capable devices in the local IP network. Selected IP Traffic Offload (SIPTO) is used to offload selected types of IP traffic towards a defined IP network close to the UE'"'"'s point of attachment to the access network. LIPA PDN Connectivity indicates a PDP Context or a PDN Connection that gives access to services located in the local IP network of the femto cell subsystem. SIPTO PDN Connectivity indicates a PDP Context or PDN Connection that allows offload of selected types of IP traffic towards a defined IP network close to the UE'"'"'s point of attachment to the access network. Systems, devices and methods are described herein that enable the identification of the type of connectivity available to a UE and enable session continuity for local cellular coverage.
