A method, apparatus and communication system for registering address information of a network anchor point to a network server, the method including receiving, by a packet data network gateway, a request message from a mobility management entity, determining, by the packet data network gateway in response to the request message, to register identity information of the packet data network gateway to a home subscriber server, and registering, to the home subscriber server, by the packet data network gateway in response to the determining to register the identity information, the identity information of the packet data network gateway and an access point name corresponding to the packet data network gateway.

Method and communication system for storing address of network anchor point to network server

This application provides a data transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving, by a first network node, first indication information sent by a second network node, where the first indication information is used by the first network node to determine first duration, and the first duration is duration from receiving a first data packet by the first network node to sending the first data packet by the first network node; and sending, by the first network node, the first data packet based on the first indication information. The data transmission method and apparatus provided in embodiments of this application help ensure that a communications network transmits a data packet based on a duration requirement.

Data transmission method and apparatus

System and method embodiments are provided for accessing a wireless network. The embodiments enable establishing and releasing session resources in a wireless local area network (WLAN) corresponding to packet data network (PDN) connections in a 3 GPP enhanced packet core (EPC). In an embodiment, a method in a network component for establishing a control channel with a user equipment (UE) includes setting up, by the network component, a link layer channel, sending, by the network component, an identifier of the link layer channel to the UE; and communicating, by the network component, with the UE over the link layer channel using a WLAN control protocol (WLCP), wherein the WLAN comprises a trusted WLAN Access Network (TWAN).

The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for allocating an Internet Protocol (IP) parameter. Deployment of a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server may be determined according to a received DHCP server indication, so as to allocate an IP parameter of user equipment (UE). The DHCP server indication may indicate whether a data packet network gateway (P-GW) serves as the DHCP server, so that specific deployment of the DHCP server may be determined, and the P-GW and a trusted WLAN access gateway (TWAG) are compatible with the UE, ensuring that the UE can receive an IP parameter allocated by the P-GW, and improving accuracy of allocating the IP parameter.

Method and apparatus for allocating IP parameter

A method, apparatus and communication system for registering address information of a network anchor point to a network server are disclosed. A network apparatus, such as a mobility management entity, determines whether to register address information of a network anchor point to a network server, and registers the address information of the network anchor point to the network server when determining to do so.

A method, an apparatus, and a system for routing user plane data in a mobile network are disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention, relate to the field of communications, and solve the problem that transmission delay of packet service data is relatively great in the prior art. The method for routing user plane data in the mobile network includes that: an access network bearer and a PDN gateway bearer of a user equipment are directly interconnected through a tunnel established between an access network and a PDN gateway; and data between a Home NodeB, a Home NodeB Gateway or a macro network access network and the PDN gateway is directly routed through the tunnel. The method, the apparatus, and the system can be applied to a mobile communication system.

A method, device and system for implementing optimized inter-RAT handover are disclosed. In the method, a user equipment or a source network decides to prepare for a handover to a target network. A corresponding target network ID is obtained from a configured mapping between cell IDs and target IDs according to a received cell ID. Target network bearers are set up after determining an access node of the target network. The user equipment is connected to the target network after handover preparation is complete.

Method, device and system for implementing optimized inter-rat handover

A method for a user equipment (UE) to access an evolved packet core (EPC) network includes: receiving, by an EPC access gateway connecting a wireless local area network (WLAN) to an EPC, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) request from the UE; and obtaining, by the EPC access gateway, subscription data of the UE according to a media access control MAC address of the UE in the DHCP request, and performing EPC access processing for the UE according to the obtained subscription data, where the obtaining subscription data of the UE according to a MAC address of the UE includes: obtaining the subscription data of the UE according to (a) the MAC address of the UE and (b) a matching MAC address of the UE the subscription data of the UE that are correspondingly stored by a network device in an access authentication process.

Method, device, and system for user equipment to access evolved packet core network

The present invention discloses a method and a device for handover to a serving network. The method includes: receiving a first Handover Request sent by a BSC/RNC; sending a second Handover Request to a target MME according to the first Handover Request, where the second Handover Request includes an IMSI and first information for determining a source SGSN so that the MME sends a Context Request message including the IMSI to the source SGSN and receives context information of a UE that corresponds to the IMSI and is sent by the source SGSN. Thereby avoiding a handover failure which is caused because the MSC server and the SGSN select different MMEs, and further synchronizing PS and CS handover processes, improving handover accuracy and efficiency, and enhancing user experience.

Method and device for handover to serving network

System and method embodiments are provided for optimizing offloading wireless services to a WLAN in 3GPP-RAT mobility. The embodiments enable changing network priority based on changing network conditions. In an embodiment, a method in a user equipment (UE) for offloading wireless services to a wireless local area network (WLAN) in a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) inter-radio access technology (RAT) handover includes receiving an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) policy from an ANDSF server, wherein the ANDSF policy comprises policy rules including a validity condition, wherein the receiving is performed during a procedure in which the UE conducts an inter-RAT handoff from a first 3GPP RAT to a second 3GPP RAT; comparing evaluation condition information for the second 3GPP RAT against the validity condition; and offloading a first wireless service to the WLAN in accordance with the ANDSF policy when the validity condition is satisfied.
