Arrangement for simplifying the design and implementation of mobile services in a communication system
First Claim
1. An arrangement for simplifying the design and implementation of mobile radio terminal services in a communications system, comprising:
- distributed hardware and software components provided in accordance with a distributed processing environment (DPE) and configurable in use to provide one or more services to one or more users;
means for supporting one or more distribution transparencies in the DPE including access, location, or failure transparencies; and
means for supporting mobile radio terminal mobility transparency in the DPE such that an application program being executed at a mobile radio terminal located in one radio service area serviced via one radio base station is not interrupted or hindered in its execution when the mobile radio terminal moves to another radio service area serviced via another radio base station;
wherein the means for supporting mobile transparency in the DPE includes means for integrating a mobile radio terminal mobility function in the infrastructure of a software platform designed in the DPE, and wherein the means for supporting mobile radio terminal mobility transparency in the DPE includes an engineering object interceptor arranged at a boundary between a mobile radio terminal domain and a telecom system domain.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an arrangement for simplifying the design and implementation of mobile services in a communication system, especially a telecommunications system, said system comprising distributed hardware and software components which interact in order to provide services to one or more users, and for the purpose of this improved availability it is according to the present invention suggested a solution of introducing in said system a mobility transparency, for thereby enabling facilitated application design including inter alia terminal or personal mobility. Special emphasis is made on solutions based on realising mobility transparency by in-line solution, broker solution and proxy solution.
