A server associated with a core network may include a memory storing computer-readable instructions; and at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to, generate a list of preferred instances of a first network function, transmit the list of the preferred instances to a server associated with a third network function, and receive a request to establish a communication session with a selected instance selected from the list of the preferred instances, if the server is associated with a selected instance of a second network function associated with the selected instance of the first network function.

Methods, apparatuses and computer-readable storage mediums for coordinated selection of RAN and core user plane components in a wireless communications network

An UMA network controller is dedicated for an UMA mobile network including a CS core network and a PS core network with a SGSN. The UMA network controller includes a security gateway and a control means coupled to one another. The security gateway is arranged i) to ensure security procedures between mobile stations and the UMA world, ii) to forward messages relative to the control plane for the packet switched core network between mobile stations and the control means, and iii) to forward messages relative to the user plane for the packet switched core network between mobile stations and the a serving GPRS support node. The control means is intercalated between the security gateway and the serving GPRS support node and arranged for handling the control plane for the packet switched core network.

Core network interface for packet domain for UMA UNC applications

In at least one embodiment, an Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) network controller for a UMA mobile network is provided. The UMA network controller includes a circuit switched core network with at least one mobile switching center and a media gateway, and a packet switched core network with at least one serving GPRS serving node. The UMA network controller forwards messages relative to a control plan for both the circuit switched core network and the packet switched core network between mobile stations and at least one circuit switched part. The UMA network controller further forwards messages relative to a user plan for the circuit switched core network between mobile stations and the media gateway. The UMA network controller further forwards messages relative to a user plan for the packet switched core network between mobile stations and at least one packet switched part.
