Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mobile communication system and, more particularly, to a method for performing offline indication of a machine type communication (MTC) device in an MTC service. A network entity checks (or searches) whether or not an MTC device is out of monitoring or management because it is in an offline state. A network entity repeatedly transmits a signal for checking whether or not the UE is currently in an offline state to the UE during operation time of a timer, namely, during a detection time, or checks a signal (e.g., a message of an attach procedure, a message of a location registration procedure, and the like) transmitted by the UE during the detection time to check whether or not the UE is in an offline state. When the UE is checked to be in an offline state, the network entity informs an MTC server or an MTC user accordingly, to thus automatically manage a loss, malfunction, or the like, of the MTC device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of controlling a session in a serving server taking charge of the control plane within a mobile communication network. The control method may include receiving, by the serving server, a tracking area update (TAU) request message of a terminal from a target base station; retrieving, by the serving server, a previous server that has taken charge of the control plane for the terminal; receiving, by the serving server and from the retrieved previous server, a context response message comprising information indicating that a session for the terminal had been established to be passed through a path over the nodes within a fixed network different from a mobile communication network; deciding, by the serving server, whether gateway relocation is needed; releasing, by the serving server, the established session; transmitting, by the serving server, an accept message comprising information for the processing result to the terminal through the target base station; and establishing, by the serving server a session passing through a path over the nodes within a fixed network different from a mobile communication network based on the information.
Abstract:
For Inter-APN routing flow distribution, a step of receiving, by a UE from a server, an Inter-System Routing Policy (ISRP) rule that comprises flow distribution rules for at least one of a For Flow Based flow distribution container used for IP Flow Mobility (IFOM), a For Service Based flow distribution container used for Multi-Access PDN Connectivity (MAPCON), a For Non-Seamless Offload flow distribution container used for Non-Seamless WLAN Offload (NSWO), and an Inter-APN routing flow distribution container, is performed. Here, the Inter-APN routing flow distribution container comprises information related to routing IP flows with respect to a plurality of APNs for using PDN connections to access multiple IP networks. Then a step of selecting, by the UE, among active/valid flow distribution rules in the received ISRP rule, a flow distribution rule having highest priority is performed.
