Abstract

Method for handling terminals in a network using VAMOS technology which performs a 'virtual' pairing of the terminal with a simulated call. The method comprises the steps of generating a VAMOS support database with terminal information of terminals in the network; checking in the VAMOS support database for an entry corresponding to terminal information of a given terminal; if no entry is found in the VAMOS support database, pairing the terminal with a simulated call, launched by the network, in a VAMOS channel; measuring at least one indicator parameter of the terminal during the pairing with the simulated call; assigning an entry in the VAMOS support database indicating the applicability of the terminal with VAMOS technology; and allowing VAMOS channelization for the terminal in dependence upon the entry corresponding to the given terminal.
