| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a method, devices, computer program and system for signaling data packets in a cellular network. A multicast address and a set of tunnel endpoint identifiers are set for a predetermined service area of a cellular network. The multicast address is assigned to a group of access controlling devices of said cellular network, and a unique tunnel endpoint identifier is assigned to a terminal device. Then, the multicast address and the unique tunnel endpoint identifier are used for forwarding a multicast data packet via at least one of the access controlling devices to the terminal device within said service area. |
