Method, network and device for information provision by using paging and cell broadcast services
DCFirst Claim
1. A method of communicating in a bi-directional cellular wireless communication system between a base station and a plurality of mobile terminals supporting an emergency warning, the method comprising:
- storing, at a mobile terminal of the plurality of mobile terminals, at least two specific identifiers common to the plurality of mobile terminals, the at least two specific identifiers being for different types of emergencies;
checking, by the mobile terminal, whether a paging message received from the base station includes at least one specific identifier of the at least two specific identifiers;
switching, by the mobile terminal, to a broadcast mode for receiving broadcast content on a broadcast channel when the received paging message includes the at least one specific identifier of the at least two specific identifiers; and
establishing, by the mobile terminal, at least one of a physical channel and a logical channel when the received paging message includes a mobile terminal identifier allocated to the mobile terminal.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method, terminal and network or entity wherein a broadcast service is used for informing a number of users on an emergency or other situation of public interest. A specific identifier is used in a paging message for activating broadcast service in the terminals. A terminal checks a received paging message with regard to the presence of the specific identifier and when detecting the specific identifier, switches to a broadcast mode for receiving broadcast content. The received broadcast emergency content is notified and/or displayed to the users of the terminals.
