Wireless communication service delivery over co-located gateway user planes

In a wireless communication network, a Gateway Control Plane (GW-C) receives a session request for a User Equipment (UE) from an Access Point (AP) that serves the UE. The GW-C transfers a DNS request having an AP ID and network data. A Domain Name System (DNS) translates the AP ID and the network da...

Zusammenfassung:In a wireless communication network, a Gateway Control Plane (GW-C) receives a session request for a User Equipment (UE) from an Access Point (AP) that serves the UE. The GW-C transfers a DNS request having an AP ID and network data. A Domain Name System (DNS) translates the AP ID and the network data into an AGW-U ID and an EGW-U ID for co-located GW-Us. The GW-C receives a DNS response and transfers GW control signals using the AGW-U ID and the EGW-U ID. The co-located AGW-U and EGW-U serve the UE responsive to the control signals. In some examples, the selected AGW-U and EGW-U are co-located at the network edge near the AP.
