Abstract:
1. A method for handling communication between a user equipment and a radio network controller of a universal mobile telecommunications system radio access network, the method comprising the steps of: providing a transmission instruction by the radio network controller for redirecting the user equipment to a target carrier frequency, the target carrier frequency being an allowed frequency of a local access radio network; evaluating if the target carrier frequency is interfered by the local access radio network near the user equipment; and preventing, if the target carrier frequency is interfered by the local access network near the user equipment, a redirection of the user equipment to the target carrier frequency by the radio network controller for a time period; wherein the step of providing the transmission instruction is caused by a first connection request transmitted from the user equipment to the radio network controller, wherein the step of evaluating if the target carrier frequency is interfered by the local access radio network near the user equipment comprises a step of detecting if a second connection request of the user equipment is received by the radio network controller after transmitting a transmission instruction to the user equipment for redirecting the user equipment to the target carrier frequency, wherein the second connection request is effectively equal to the first connection request.
