Abstract
The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for establishing and maintaining backhaul connections between small cell radio base stations and a core network. In particular it relates to methods using a client to manage the backhaul connection. According to one aspect, the method relates to receiving, from the small cell RBS, at least one message triggering the establishment of the wireless backhaul connection between the small cell RBS and the core network. The method further comprises deriving, from the at least one message, base station property information of the small cell RBS. The method further comprises sending, to a core network node, a connectivity request message, including the derived base station property information thereby enabling a selection of a packet gateway and/or a configuration for the small cell RBS in the establishment of the wireless backhaul connection. The disclosure also relates to a method performed in a core network node and to a corresponding client and core network node.
