METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBTAINING RADIO ACCESS NETWORK
(RAN) INFORMATION OF CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATIONS
NETWORKS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to methods and systems for obtaining Radio Access Network (RAN) information of cellular telecommunications networks.
Background of the Invention Cellular telecommunications networks include a core network for switching purposes and a so-called Radio Access Network (RAN) including a multitude of cells providing service to mobile stations. RANs are divided into registration areas which typically include from several to sometimes hundreds of contiguous cells. Cellular telecommunications networks are designed with overlapping contiguous cells to enable smooth handovers of mobile stations between adjacent cells as mobile stations change their geographical location. Cells include a Cell Configuration Register (CCR) for storing cell configuration information, for example, cell identity, its registration area, broadcasting strength, etc.
Mobile stations have two operative states as follows: First, a so-called default passive or idle state in which the mobile stations are in reception mode only. Passive mobile stations are located in a so-called camping cell. Passive mobile stations do not send measurements reports to the radio access network to save battery consumption and network resources.
And second, a so-called active state in which the mobile stations are in a bidirectional communication session with their host network. Active mobile stations are located in at least one so-called serving cell. Serving cells can change during a bidirectional communication session but an active mobile station's initial serving cell is the last camping cell when in its passive state before becoming active. Active mobile stations send measurements reports to
Its native CCD mechanism. In this case, the CCCM module sends Point To Multi Point (PTMP) messages to the passive mobile stations camping on a selected cell with simulated CCR values for processing by the CCD simulator.
The CCD simulator uploads reporting events which would be indicative of a change in the relationship between the passive mobile station and their host network if they had been uploaded by the native CCD mechanism. Such reporting events can be uploaded by SMS, a data session, and the like. US2008/0261602 to Livneh discloses an inter-femto Base station network to facilitate low interference low power cellular access utilizing two or more femto Base stations. Livneh is concerned only with obtaining information for, and handing over active mobile stations i.e. those that are actively participating in a communication session. In contrast, a feature of the current invention is steering idle mobile stations to neighbouring cells. US2009/0010213 to Yamada discloses a method for mapping an operating frequency band of a mobile device in a mobile communication system. An operating frequency band position at the time of idle mode of respective mobile station devices is arranged so as to be distributed throughout a unique frequency bandwidth of a base station device. Yamada discloses collecting information about idle mobile stations. In contrast, the current invention features steering idle mobile stations to neighbouring cells
