Associating and consolidating MME bearer management functions
Abstract:
A method of managing bearer signalling for one or more user equipment (UE) coupled to eNodeB via at least one relay node, includes generating and sending MME Association Consolidation (MAC) request message by eNodeB to plurality of disparate mobility management entities managing plurality of UE coupled to said relay node based on receiving bearer resource request of UE coupled to said relay node. The method further includes receiving MAC response by eNodeB from plurality of disparate mobility management entities managing plurality of UE and forwarding to MME of said relay node, received MAC response by eNodeB. The method further includes provisioning by MME of said relay node bearer request of UE, based on received MAC response, and provisioning consequential bearer setup request of said relay node wherein, provisioning includes creating, updating, modifying and deleting bearers of UE and RN.
