Abstract
A system and method for coordinating network operation modes of a GPRS network is disclosed. The system includes a database storing a preferred list of network operation modes of the GPRS network that a mobile subscriber registered for. A SGSN detects the status of an interface for GPRS packet data services and reports the status to a BSC. BSC in turn decides which network operation mode to use based on the preferred list. The GPRS network is then switched to the preferred network operation mode.
