Method and apparatus for deactivating mobile radio stations from the network
First Claim
1. A method for deactivating at least one mobile station in a radio cell of a radio communication system, comprising:
- providing a radio communication system with a first network element which forms a send/receive device for each mobile station of the radio cell, a second network element which is designed for controlling the first network element, and a device which is connected between the first network element and the second network element;
detecting a first subscriber identification information and a second subscriber identification information which are transferred during an exchange of signaling information between the at least one mobile station and a third network element, wherein the transfer path is routed via the device;
storing the detected subscriber identification information in a memory of the device, the detected subscriber identification information indicating that the at least one mobile station is logged into a network; and
deactivating the at least one mobile station logged into the network responsive to a deactivation signal triggered by an external event not caused by use of the at least one mobile station, wherein the deactivation signal is delivered to the device and, causes the at least one mobile station to regard its own subscriber identity module as invalid and prevents the at least one mobile station from transmitting radio waves.

Abstract
Method for deactivating at least one mobile station in a radio communication system, particularly in a picocell on board an aircraft in a GSM mobile radio network, where the radio communication system has a first network element, which forms a transmission/reception device for each mobile station in the radio cell, a second network element which is set up to control the first network element, and a device which is connected between the first network element and the second network element, wherein the device carries out the following steps: detection of a piece of identification information, directed at the at least one mobile station, which is transmitted from the second network element to the first network element, use of this identification information to deactivate the at least one mobile station when a deactivation signal is supplied to the device.

10. An apparatus for deactivating at least one mobile station in a radio cell of a radio communication system comprising:
-
a first network element which represents a send/receive device for each mobile station; a second network element for controlling the first network element; a device connected into a signaling path between the first network element and the second network element; a first subscriber identification information detectable by the device; a second subscriber identification information detectable by the device, wherein the first and second subscriber identification information are transferred between the at least one mobile station and a third network element; and a memory to store the first and second subscriber identification information, the first and second subscriber identification information indicating that the at least one mobile station is logged into a network, wherein the device uses the first and second subscriber identification information to deactivate the at least one mobile station when a deactivation signal is delivered to the device, wherein the deactivation signal is triggered by an external event not caused by use of the at least one mobile station, and causes the at least one mobile station to regard its own subscriber identity module as invalid and prevents the at least one mobile station from transmitting radio waves. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
