Abstract:
The present invention relates to a location management system and a paging server in an Internet Protocol, IP, communication network that is adapted for wireless communication. The wireless IP network comprises multiple routers wherein at least one of the routers is an access router adapted for wireless communication with mobile nodes. The location management system is divided into at least one location area manager, and at least one regional location manager, the location area manager is a first signaling server and the regional location manager is a second signaling server, one of said location area manager and regional location manager comprises means for maintaining a list of mobile nodes located within at least one location area. The regional location manager comprises means for managing location information within a single location management region, and wherein the location area manager and regional location manager are connected to each other and adapted to exchange information. Furthermore, the paging server comprises means for obtaining location management information from the location management system and means for multicasting paging requests to the access routers wherein the access routers is determined by using said location management information.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a session control unit (16) for use in a communication network (11a) for providing wireless access to the Internet for mobile nodes (2). The communication network comprises one or several access routers (3) for wireless communication with mobile nodes and one or several anchor points (12a) for routing data packets to and/or from the mobile nodes via the access routers. The session control unit is arranged to allocate a session identifier to a mobile node (2) requesting access to the network, select an anchor point (12a) to route data packets to and/or from the mobile node, and communicate an IP-address associated with the selected anchor point to the access router communicating with the mobile node. The allocated session identifier is independent of the selected anchor point. The invention also relates to a method for providing session control to a communication network.
Abstract:
Sitzungssteuereinheit zur Verwendung in einem Kommunikationsnetz zum Bereitstellen eines drahtlosen Zugriffs auf das Internet für mobile Knoten, wobei das Kommunikationsnetz zumindest einen Zugriffs-Router für eine drahtlose Kommunikation mit den mobilen Knoten und zumindest einem Ankerpunkt zum Leiten von Datenpaketen zu und/oder von den mobilen Knoten über den zumindest einen Zugriffs-Router umfasst, wobei die Sitzungssteuereinheit umfasst: eine Zuordnungseinrichtung zum Zuordnen eines ersten Sitzungsidentifizierers zu einem ersten mobilen Knoten, der einen Zugriff auf das Kommunikationsnetz anfordert; eine Auswahleinrichtung zum Auswählen eines ersten Ankerpunkts, um Datenpakete zu und/oder von dem ersten mobilen Knoten zu leiten; eine Speichereinrichtung zum Speichern des ersten Sitzungsidentifizierers und einer Information, die den ersten Ankerpunkt identifiziert; und eine Kommunikationseinrichtung zum Kommunizieren des ersten Sitzungsidentifizierers und einer ersten IP-Adresse, die dem ersten Ankerpunkt zugeordnet ist, zu dem Zugriffs-Router, der mit dem ersten mobilen Knoten kommuniziert, wobei der erste Sitzungsidentifizierer unabhängig von dem ersten Ankerpunkt ist.
Abstract:
La presente invención se refiere a una unidad (16) de control de sesiones para ser usada en una red (11a) de comunicaciones destinada a proporcionar acceso de radio a Internet para nodos móviles (2). La red de comunicaciones comprende uno o varios indicadores (3) de ruta de acceso para comunicación de radio con nodos móviles y uno o varios puntos (12a) de anclaje para encaminar paquetes de datos a y/o desde los nodos móviles por medio de indicadores de ruta de acceso. La unidad de control de sesiones está dispuesta para asignar un identificador de sesión a un nodo móvil (2) que solicita acceso a la red, seleccionar un punto (12a) de anclaje para encaminar paquetes de datos a y/o desde el nodo móvil, y comunicar una direción IP asociada con el punto de anclaje seleccionado al encaminador de acceso que comunica con el nodo móvil. El identificador de sesión asignado es independiente del punto de anclaje selecionado. La invención se refiere también a un método para proporcionar control de sesiones a una red de comunicaciones.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for measuring holding time in a communication network. Using traffic volume and call attempt number measurements from earlier measurement intervals as well as the current interval makes it possible to calculate the holding time parameters of the calls generated during the current interval in a much more accurate way. The method can be incorporated into performance management systems or any other systems or tools post-processing measurement results from network elements. As examples three practical implementations are described.
