Abstract
A cellular network base station configured to operate in a cellular network having a service area divided into a multitude of cells through which mobile terminals can move through. The base station is configured to forwarding packets to and from the mobile terminals. The base station forwards packets to at least one label switching node. There is a means for determining a label switched path for directing packets between nodes and the base station. There is also a means for attaching a label to the packets. The label includes the label switched path and control information. Nodes forward the label switched packet along the label switched path. The base station uses wireless technology to communicate with the mobile terminals. The wireless technology uses a protocol layer architecture including a wireless physical layer; a wireless medium access control protocol layer; a radio link control layer; and a network layer.
