SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INDEPENDENT SETTING OF CELL CHANGE NETWORK CONTROL MODE AND NOTIFICATION OF CELL CHANGE MODE FOR UNCONTROLLED CELLS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for a mobile station, the method comprising:
- performing a first behaviour with respect to NCC (notification of cell change) mode and cell change network control in response to signalling of NCC mode and cell change network control in respect of some cells of a given RAT (radio access technology);
notwithstanding the signalling of NCC mode and cell change network control in respect of some cells of a given RAT, performing a second behaviour with respect to NCC mode and cell change network control in respect of cells of a defined category of cells of the given RAT that differs from the first behaviour in some manner.

Abstract
Systems and Methods for Independent Setting of Cell Change Network Control Mode and Notification of Cell Change Mode for Uncontrolled Cells are provided. In some cases, separate behaviour is specified for mobile stations in respect of uncontrolled cells. In some cases, behaviour is signalled by the signalling used for normal cells, but different meaning is attributed to the signalling. In some cases, at least one further criterion is combined with the signalling for controlled cells to determine the behaviour for controlled cells. In some cases, additional signalling is employed.

8. A method for a serving cell controller comprising:
-
transmitting at least one indication to signal a desired behaviour in respect of some cells in terms of at least one of; NCC mode; and cell change network control mode; transmitting at least one further indication to signal a desired behaviour in respect of a defined category of cells in terms of at least one of; NCC mode; and cell change network control mode. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

17. A method for a serving cell controller comprising:
-
receiving a notification of a cell change to a target cell from a mobile station; if it is determined that the cell change is not permitted, abstaining from responding to the notification to indicate that the cell change is not permitted. - View Dependent Claims (18)
