Abstract

Disclosed are a method and a system of sharing resources between operators in cellular mobile communication networks, wherein each operator comprises its own dedicated resource. The particularity of the present invention lies in that for a new connection, i.e. an incoming call and/or a handover, a serving operator (A) is enabled during operation to use another operator's (B) or other operators' (B, C, D, . . . ) resource(s), wherein said resource sharing is dynamical and seamless in a way that the new connection is not interrupted.
