Patent ID: 7181218

Claim:
A mobile terminal which is in radio communications with a radio access network of a telecommunications system, the mobile terminal comprising: a receiver/transmitter unit which is in established radio communication with a first radio access network having a first type radio access network technology and which monitors transmissions from a second radio access network having a second type radio access network technology; a network handover function which processes a radio access technology (RAT) handover message transmitted to the equipment unit (UE), the radio access technology handover message being transmitted to the mobile terminal in conjunction with handover of the mobile terminal from the first radio access network to the second radio access network, wherein the network handover function processes the radio access technology handover message by using a first information element included in the radio access technology handover message and representative of a first parameter to derive a value of a second parameter so that the second parameter is not included as a separate information element in the radio access technology handover message, and wherein the second parameter is a Default DPCH Offset Value.
