| 20120008578 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTERWORKING A WLAN INTO A WWAN FOR SESSION AND MOBILITY MANAGEMENT - According to one aspect, a mobility gateway device (MGW) receives a request from a wireless local area network (WLAN) controller of a WLAN for accessing the Internet or a packet core network, where the request is originated from a user equipment communicatively coupled to the WLAN. In response to the request, the MGW is configured to determine whether there is an active session associated with the UE over a wireless wide area network (WWAN). If so, the MGW assigns an IP address to the UE that was assigned to the UE during the active session of the WWAN. The assigned IP address is used by the UE to access the Internet or the packet core network over the WLAN. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20110208959 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING PACKET OVERHEAD FOR AN LTE ARCHITECTURE WHILE SECURING TRAFFIC IN AN UNSECURED ENVIRONMENT - A first packet is received at a network element from an E-UTRAN Node B (eNB) of an E-UTRAN access network via a secured communications tunnel of a secured connection, where the first packet encapsulates a second packet therein. It is determined whether the network element serves both a security gateway functionality and a serving gateway functionality of a core packet network based on the first packet and the second packet. The network element negotiates with the eNB to switch further communications from a tunnel mode to a transport mode of the secured connection if it is determined that the network element serves both the security gateway functionality and the serving gateway functionality. Thereafter, the network element exchanges further packets with the eNB via the transport mode of the secured connection after the eNB switches from the tunnel mode to the transport mode. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110116499 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTIVELY BYPASSING PACKET CORE NETWORK WITHIN A SESSION BASED ON TRAFFIC TYPE - According to one aspect of the invention, packets of a first type within a first data flow are routed to a destination through a packet core network. In response to a detection that packets of a second type are to be routed while routing the first data flow, a second data flow is created which is a sub-flow of the first data flow. Packets of the second type are routed via the second data flow to the destination without traversing the packet core network, while packets of the first type are routed via the first data flow traversing the packet core network. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20100077102 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BYPASSING 3GPP PACKET SWITCHED CORE NETWORK WHEN ACCESSING INTERNET FROM 3GPP UES USING IP-BTS, FEMTO CELL, OR LTE ACCESS NETWORK - A type of network traffic associated with a packet received from a remote node of an access network is determined. A first interface logic routes the packet to a radio network controller (RNC) if the packet is received from an Internet protocol-basestation (IP-BTS) access network and destined to a packet core network. The RNC forwards the packet to a component of the packet core network. A second interface logic routes the packet to the component of the packet core network, including aggregating other packets of the same type received from other remote nodes, if the packet is received from a femto cell and destined to the packet core network. A breakout logic routes the packet to a destination of the Internet directly to enable the packet to reach the Internet without having to route the packet to the component of the packet core network, if the packet is destined to the Internet. | 03-25-2010 |
