Systems and methods are provided that allow inter-working between communication networks for the delivery of service to mobile nodes. A gateway is provided that communicates with a femto cell to extend service to an area that otherwise does not receive coverage from a service provider. The femto cell is a small scale base station used to provide coverage over a small area (such as a home or business), and connect to a home or enterprise network. The femto cell provides service for a mobile node and a gateway permits communication over a broadband network. The gateway integrates the mobile nodes connecting via a femto cell into the service provider's network. The gateway also allows provisioning of services and applications, control of service levels, and provides seamless handoffs to marco base stations and other types of access technologies such as Wi-Fi.

Interworking gateway for mobile nodes

As the proliferation of data rich content and increasingly more capable mobile devices has continued, the amount of data communicated over mobile operator's networks has increased Upgrading the existing network that was designed for voice calls is not desirable or practical for many mobile operators This disclosure relates to a mobility edge gateway that resides on the edge of the core network and can provide one or more services such as call localization, offloading of traffic, session management, and content streaming The call localization involves identifying calls that can be maintained at the edge of the network and bridging the calls at the mobility edge gateway to bypass the core network The offloading involves identifying traffic and offloading the traffic to the Internet or another network to bypass the core network These services can relieve congestion on the core network of mobile operator's networks

Providing services at a communication network edge

A method, system and device are provided for managing LIPA and/or SIPTO connection releases when UE moves out of residential/enterprise network coverage in case service continuity is not supported for the LIPA/SIPTO PDN connection(s) To address problems caused by not providing service continuity for LIPA/SIPTO PDN connections, the PDN connection/PDP context created in the HeNB/HNB by the MME/SGSN includes context information related to the UE indicating whether such connection is a LIPA PDN connection PDN connection or not In addition, each UE may be configured to reconnect or not reconnect to the PDN corresponding to a certain APN or service, depending on how the PDN connection was disconnected by the network

Method and apparatus for releasing connection with local gw when ue moves out of the residential/enterprise network coverage

This disclosure relates to a system and method for offloading selected data to an alternate communication network. The offloading provides another route for selected packet traffic that can relieve the burden on a mobile operator's network, such as the backhaul and core networks. As the proliferation of data rich content and increasingly more capable mobile devices has continued, the amount of data communicated over mobile operator's networks has exponentially increased. Upgrading the existing network that was designed for voice calls is not desirable or practical for many mobile operators. A offload gateway is provided that inspects packets and determines those packets to offload to an alternate network as well as providing mobility management to allow for seamless handoffs and gateway relocations.

Providing offloads in a communication network

An application mobility-management entity (“AME”) in a radio-access network detects movement of a mobile device and routes application data for already-active application streams associated with the mobile device to the device's new location by establishing a connection to a second AME in the radio-access network. The second AME merges forwarded application data from/to the first AME for previously active application streams with the new application streams (e.g., new TCP connections) locally and forwards to/from the mobile device through the radio access network elements.

Session handover in mobile-network content-delivery devices

The present invention relates to an arrangement comprising a functional server node forming part of a conglomerate, or pool, of functional server nodes in common controlling a number of radio network control means, each functional server node being able to control any, or a number of, radio network control means, to which mobile stations are connected The functional server nodes support transfer/redistribution of mobile stations between each other without interrupting the connection of the mobile stations, a target functional server node, to which it has been decided that a mobile station is to be transferred from a current functional server node, generates an area update or transfer acceptance message comprising an identification of the current functional server node, an identification of the target functional server node and a transfer indications The invention also relates to a method of redistributing or transferring mobile station contexts

An arrangement and a method in communication networks

The present invention relates to an arrangement comprising a packet data support node comprising a functional server node forming part of a conglomerate, or pool, of functional server nodes in a number of radio network control means, each functional server node being able to control any, or a number of, radio network control means, to which mobile terminal stations are connected. The functional server means support transfer/redistribution of mobile terminal stations between each other without interrupting the connection of the mobile terminal stations. The invention also relates to a method of redistributing or transferring mobile terminal stations.

Method for transferring a mobile terminal in e.g. an umts-network from one server node in a pool to another server node in the same pool

The invention regards a handover method for a data packet based wireless mobile communications network. The network comprises a core network (CN) and a radio area network (RAN). The core network (CN) comprises a control plane node (MME) intercommunicating with a user plane node (UPE). The radio area network comprises a mobile user equipment (UE) intercommunicating with a source radio base transceiver station, eNOdeB, (source eNodeB), wherein payload data is routed via a tunnel between the user plane node (UPE) and the source eNodeB (source eNodeB), wherein the handover comprises the step of establishing a temporary tunnel between the user plane node (UPE) and a target eNodeB (target eNodeB), the handover being initiated by the target eNodeB (target eNodeB) transmitting an unreliable uplink data signal to the user plane node (UPE) comprising handover information.

Method and system for intra e-utran handover

The present invention relates to a communication system supporting communication of data and comprising at least a first core network with a plurality of core network functional server nodes (CS core nodes; MCSs) for circuit switched communication and a second core network with a number of core network functional sever nodes (PS core nodes; SGSNs) for packet switched communication, wherein at least the CS core nodes are arranged in a pool to, in common, control a number of control nodes (BSCs). An interface (Gs) between CS core nodes and PS core nodes is used for providing information to CS core nodes from PS core nodes relating to mobility related events provided from an MS to a PS core node. Means are provided for, when a mobile station, MS, is moved from a first CS core node to a second CS core node, from either of said first and second CS core node involved in the change, providing the PS core node to which the MS is attached, with information relating to the change of CS core nodes from said first to said second CS core node.

System and method relating to mobility in a mobile communications system

The invention refers to a method for a data packet based wireless mobile communications network. The network comprises a core network (CN) and a radio area network (RAN). The core network (CN) comprises a control plane node (MME) intercommunicating with a user plane node (SAE GW). The radio area network comprises a mobile user equipment (UE) intercommunicating with a radio base transceiver station (eNOdeB) wherein payload data is routed via a tunnel between the user plane node (SAE GW) and the base transceiver station (eNodeB), wherein the method comprises the step of establishing a temporary tunnel between the user plane node (SAE GW) and the radio base transceiver station (eNodeB), the establishment of the temporary tunnel being initiated by the base transceiver station (eNodeB) transmitting an unreliable uplink data signal to the user plane node (SAE GW).
