ABSTRACT:
The present invention facilitates control over inter-system handover between different types of radio access technologies. Assuming a radio connection has been established between a first mobile radio communications system and a user equipment (UE) using an anchor node, a request is made for handover of the UE connection to a second mobile radio communications system that includes a non-anchor node. UE handover information is provided to the non-anchor node. The UE handover information includes first radio handover information relating to handover of the connection from the first mobile radio communication system to the second mobile radio communication system and second handover information relating to handover from the second mobile radio communications system to the first mobile radio communications system. The non-anchor node forwards to a node in the target network the UE handover information having the protocol format recognized by that node. As a result, the node can readily interpret the information element to determine if the UE subscription and/or type of call warrant or permit a subsequent inter-system handover.
