Abstract

A method for a base station includes receiving a signal relating to a location of a user equipment (UE) from the UE, selecting a first exchange for the UE and sending the signal to the first exchange, and sending the signal to a second exchange based on subscription information of the UE provided by a server.

Claims (20)

1. A method for a server in a communication system comprising:

storing subscription information on a user equipment (UE); and

providing the subscription information for a first communication apparatus selected by a base station,

wherein based on the subscription information, a signal for registration of the UE sent by the UE is forwarded to second communication apparatus that is different from the first communication apparatus via the base station.

2. A server in a communication system comprising:

a processor configured to store subscription information on a user equipment (UE); and

a transmitter configured to provide the subscription information for a first communication apparatus selected by a base station,

wherein based on the subscription information, a signal for registration of the UE sent by the UE is forwarded to a second communication apparatus that is different from the first communication apparatus via the base station.

3. A method for a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

sending a first signal, related to a location of the UE, to a base station; and

receiving a second signal, related to a location of the UE, from an communication apparatus via the base station,

wherein the base station selects a first communication apparatus for the UE upon receiving the first signal and sends the first signal to the first communication apparatus,

wherein the base station resends the first signal to a second communication apparatus, different from the first communication apparatus, based on subscription information on the UE provided by a server, and

wherein the UE receives the second signal from the second communication apparatus via the base station.

4. A user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmitter configured to send a first signal, related to a location of the UE, to a base station; and

a receiver configured to receive a second signal, related to a location of the UE, from an communication apparatus via the base station,

wherein the base station selects a first communication apparatus for the UE upon receiving the first signal and sends the first signal to the first communication apparatus,

wherein the base station resends the first signal to a second communication apparatus, different from the first communication apparatus, based on subscription information on the UE provided by a server, and

wherein the UE receives the second signal from the second communication apparatus via the base station.
