20130343274 | METHOD AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR STORING ADDRESS OF NETWORK ANCHOR POINT TO NETWORK SERVER - A method, apparatus and communication system for registering address information of a network anchor point to a network server are disclosed. A network apparatus, such as a mobility management entity, determines whether to register address information of a network anchor point to a network server, and registers the address information of the network anchor point to the network server when determining to do so. | 12-26-2013 |
20140071854 | System and Methods for Dual Mode Network Selection - Embodiments are provided for supporting network selection for dual mode user equipment that access both WiFi and 3GPP networks. The embodiments allow a UE to determine network selection for a WLAN using an Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) according to the UE's capability to support a HotSpot 2.0 (HS2.0) WiFi selection mechanism. In an embodiment, the ANDSF server provides the UE with network selection policy and discovery information indicating available wireless access networks to the UE. The information provided to the UE includes both information for HS2.0 capable UEs and information for non-HS2.0 capable UEs. The UE then selects the suitable information for network selection according to UE support or lack thereof for HS2.0. In another embodiment, the ANDSF receives capability information from the UE regarding support for HS2.0, and accordingly provides suitable selection policy and network discovery information to the UE. | 03-13-2014 |
20140146806 | METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM FOR USER EQUIPMENT TO ACCESS EVOLVED PACKET CORE NETWORK - A method for a user equipment UE to access an evolved packet core network EPC includes: receiving, by an EPC access gateway connecting a wireless local area network WLAN to an EPC, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP request from the UE; and obtaining, by the EPC access gateway, subscription data of the UE according to a media access control MAC address of the UE in the DHCP request, and performing EPC access processing for the UE according to the obtained subscription data, where the obtaining subscription data of the UE according to a MAC address of the UE includes: obtaining the subscription data of the UE according to the MAC address of the UE and the MAC address of the UE and the subscription data of the UE that are correspondingly stored by a network device in an access authentication process. | 05-29-2014 |
20140185586 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR HANDOVER TO SERVING NETWORK - The present invention discloses a method and a device for handover to a serving network. The method includes: receiving a first Handover Request sent by a BSC/RNC; sending a second Handover Request to a target MME according to the first Handover Request, where the second Handover Request includes an IMSI and first information for determining a source SGSN so that the MME sends a Context Request message including the IMSI to the source SGSN and receives context information of a UE that corresponds to the IMSI and is sent by the source SGSN. Thereby avoiding a handover failure which is caused because the MSC server and the SGSN select different MMEs, and further synchronizing PS and CS handover processes, improving handover accuracy and efficiency, and enhancing user experience. | 07-03-2014 |
