NETWORK ACCESS FEEDBACK BY MULTIMODE TERMINAL Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04W60/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method of providing network access feedback when User Equipment, UE (14), with an established connection over multiple network accesses to a Gateway, GW (10, 17, 20), initiates a set-up of a new service for a service session. The method comprises a step (22), where the GW (10, 17, 20) or a policy and charging rules function, PCRF (13), initiates a quality of service, QoS, resource reservation in response to the set-up of the new service initiated by the UE (14). The GW (10, 17, 20) or the PCRF (13) in the QoS resource reservation selects a first network access as present network access. At a step (23) the UE (14) rejects said first network access as present network access and sends a reject message to the GW (10, 17, 20), and the GW (10, 17, 20) or the PCRF (13) as a result of the reject message initiates a new QoS resource reservation by selecting a second network access as present network access.

EFFECT: reduced load in access networks.
