Patent Images
1. A method for sharing a radio access network node between multiple mobile networks, comprising:
- providing a radio cell comprising a physical node;
supporting a plurality of virtual nodes on the physical node; and
at the radio cell, broadcasting;
data corresponding to a radio access service;
a plurality of network identifiers of respective multiple mobile networks, wherein each of the multiple mobile networks corresponds to at least one of the plurality of virtual nodes; and
a mobile network specific parameter applicable only for accessing a specific mobile network by user equipment associated with the specific mobile network, wherein the mobile network specific parameter includes at least one of the group consisting of;
a tracking area code, a cell identifier, and a cell barred indication.

Abstract
In particular, systems and methods according to present principles configure physical eNodeB to have multiple virtual eNodeBs, where each virtual eNodeBs corresponds to a particular PLMN. Thus, each PLMN has its own virtual eNodeB which is hosted on a common shared physical eNodeB.
