Abstract

Dans certains modes de réalisation, la présente invention se rapporte à des procédés innovants adaptés pour prendre en charge des fonctions GFA sans que des opérateurs mobiles aient à mettre à niveau leur cœur de réseau (CN). Selon le procédé de prise en charge de fonctions GFA de l'invention, une passerelle (HNB-GW) de nœud B domestique (HNB) et/ou le HNB accomplissent des fonctions (un contrôle d'accès, par exemple), qui devraient être accomplies normalement par le CN d'un opérateur mobile, si le CN a été mis à niveau de sorte un prendre en charge les fonctions GFA. Dans ces conditions, du fait que ce sont la HNB-GW et/ou le HNB qui réalisent le contrôle d'accès, l'opérateur mobile n'a pas besoin de mettre à niveau le CN pour prendre en charge les fonctions GFA.
