Abstract
Example implementations are directed to systems and methods involving a mobility management entity (MME) pool. In example implementations, the MME of the pool can be configured as a backup for a fraction of subscribers associated with other MME in the pool. Upon detection of the failure of an MME in the pool, the surviving MME messages eNodeBs and other peer network nodes that it will take over the impacted subscribers such that the subscribers do not need to conduct a reattachment process. Multiple MME codes per MME can be used to partition the subscribers for backup, which can thereby lead to geo-redundancy for the MME.
