Abstract
This disclosure generally discloses an anchor mobility mechanism. The anchor mobility mechanism is configured to support migration of flows between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system. The anchor mobility mechanism may be configured to support migration of flows between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system in a highly seamless manner. The anchor mobility mechanism may be configured to support migration of a flow of a wireless device between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system using functions performed by a control element (CE) and one or more forwarding elements (FEs) within the data plane of the flow of the wireless device. The functions may include identifying a time at which to initiate migration of the flow, initiating migration of the flow based on identification of the time at which to initiate migration of the flow, or the like, as well as various combinations thereof.
