Abstract:
MME decides whether to perform SIPTO@LN for one or more PDN connections using APN information, by performing the steps of: receiving, from a HeNB, information about one or more GWs, said information comprising an IP address of each local GW and at least one among APN-specific information for said one or more local GWs and/or a non-APN-specific indication for said one or more local GWs; initiating, based on subscription data and the received information about a particular local GW among said one or more local GWs, deactivation of one or more PDN connections by sending to UE a NAS Deactivate Bearer Request message indicating that reactivation is required for said one or more PDN connections; and selecting, in response to a reactivation attempt by the UE and based on said subscription data and the received information about said particular local GW, said particular local GW to allow SIPTO@LN to be performed via said particular local GW.
Abstract:
For traffic offload via a local network, a MME may obtain from a HSS, subscription data including SIPTO related permissions defined on APN basis that indicate SIPTO prohibited, indicate SIPTO allowed excluding SIPTO via Local Network (SIPTO@LN), and/or indicate SIPTO allowed including SIPTO@LN. Then, the MME may obtain information about one or more local Gateways (GWs) capable of offloading selected traffic, such information indicating which of the one or more local GWs provides access to which Packet Data Networks (PDNs), with each PDN being identified by its associated APN. Finally, the MME may process PDN connections and/or PDN disconnections in order to support offloading of the selected traffic. The counterpart UE includes the appropriate means of hardware and/or software that is configured to support and perform SIPTO@LN.
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:
The present invention relates to a mobile communications system, and particularly, to a method for determining whether to keep or deactivate an activated Idle mode Signaling Reduction (ISR) feature for a terminal in a mobile communications system. In case of the UE's intra-SGSN mobility and intra-MME mobility, when deciding, by a mobility management node, ISR activation for a UE in an IMS network environment where heterogeneous mobile communications networks (e.g., E-UTRAN and UTRAN/GERAN) interwork with each other, considered are not only whether the mobility management node can support an ISR feature, and whether the UE can use IMS voice, but also conditions (information) on whether each mobility management can support IMS voice over PS session. This may allow an incoming voice call to the UE from the IMS network to be delivered through a first trial, to a domain (PS domain or CS domain) selected with consideration of access network situations.

A wireless communication system is disclosed. More particularly, a control method and device based on multiple priorities in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method of controlling a back-off timer in a terminal configured with multiple priorities, which includes transmitting a first non-access stratum (NAS) request message set to a first priority level, starting the back-off timer configured by a network, and transmitting a second NAS request message, which is not set to the first priority level, while the back-off timer runs.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of controlling a LIPA (Local IP Access) service in a server taking charge of the control plane within a mobile communication network. The method of controlling a LIPA service may include receiving an initial message from Home (e)NodeB. The initial message may include at least one of LIPA related information and capability information. The LIPA related information may include at least one of APN (Access Point Name) for LIPA and information for a local gateway, and the capability information may include an indicator indicating whether the Home (e)NodeB supports a LIPA function, and the initial message may include an access request message by a terminal. The method of controlling a LIPA service may further include determining whether the terminal can use a LIPA service at the Home (e)NodeB by considering at least one of the LIPA related information within the initial message, the capability information within the initial message, and subscriber information of the terminal, upon receiving the initial message; storing a result of the determination; generating an access accept message including an indicator indicating whether the terminal can use a LIPA service at the Home (e)NodeB; and transmitting an initial setup message including the generated access accept message to the Home (e)NodeB.
Abstract:
A wireless terminal, such as a 3GPP UE, transmits a first message of an Internet key exchange (IKE) protocol to a node of a packet core network for initiating a first authentication procedure between the UE and a first server associated with the packet core network. The outcome of the first authentication procedure is received by the UE which transmits a second IKE message to the packet core node. The outcome of a second authentication procedure between the UE and a second server associated with an external packet data network is finally received by the UE. One of the above-mentioned first and second IKE messages (or both) conveys a protocol configuration options information element including authentication parameters for the second authentication procedure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mobile communication system and, more particularly, to a method for monitoring the occurrence of an event of a machine type communication (MTC) service in a mobile communication system. In the method for performing MTC monitoring, among MTC features, in particular, when one or a plurality of particular events occur, the occurred events are detected, and when information regarding a corresponding MTC device of the detected event is transmitted to a network entity, the network entity checks stored information regarding the corresponding MTC device; compares the checked information and information regarding the corresponding MTC device of the event, and provides the comparison information or the event-related information to a server that manages and maintains 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.
