摘要: There is provided a method and system for management of Machine Type Communication (MTC) events. The system and method enables the detection of a state of the MTC event, correlating the state of MTC event with a Virtual Network Function (VNF) state of a VNF configured to mitigate the MTC event and transitioning the VNF to the VNF state which correlates with the MTC state. In this manner, the VNF can be in a configured and active state in advance of the MTC event reaching a critical state, thereby enabling mitigation of the MTC event prior to reaching the critical state.

摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for managing a mobile object using a plurality of machine type communication devices (MTCDs) communicatively connected to a communication network. A mobile object can be considered a virtual MTCD which can be managed and/or tracked by an array of MTCDs which are communicatively connected with the communication network. The MTCDs detect the mobile object and obtain or determine one or more parameters indicative of movement of the object. By tracking the movement of the object, the system can substantially ensure that there are connected MTCDs in the area to which the object is moving, thereby enabling the management and/or tracking of the mobile object can be provided by actively modifying the configuration of the communication network, for example using network function virtualization.

摘要: A telecom connectivity service provider (TCSP) and a method for allocating an infrastructure resource to a virtual network operator (VNO). A TCSP control element sends to a downstream control element, a request for a portion of the infrastructure to be allocated to the TCSP by an infrastructure provider (InP) and receives a response from the downstream control element providing access to and control of the allocated infrastructure. The TCSP control element can pool the allocated infrastructure with other resources allocated to the TCSP and/or communicate with an upstream control element for providing access to and control of the allocated infrastructure to the VNO. The downstream control element is a local InP control element or a downstream TCSP control element. The upstream control element is a VNO control element or an upstream TCSP control element.

摘要: A method for managing a network function (NF) entity in a network slice instance. The method comprises actions of accessing descriptor entities (DE) that each DE describes deployment and operational behaviour of the NF entity, including at least one DE that relates to the network slice instance and issuing a request to update a configuration of the NF entity. The DE lies in the management plane. The update request is in accordance with policy in the accessed DEs. The method may also comprise the action of obtaining performance feedback information from the NF entity regarding performance of the NF entity.

摘要: Methods and systems in which a UE can establish and maintain a data connection to a plurality of Radio Access Nodes for the creation of redundant data links is disclosed. Methods of implementing packet duplication as well as methods of determining when to activate or deactivate packet duplication are also disclosed.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide systems and methods for establishing one or more Distributed Gateways located close to a location of a UE to facilitate faster packet delivery to said UE during transitions. Such transitions can include the UE transitioning its state, for example from being idle to connected to the network, but also includes operations in which the serving AP(s) for the UE changes. The method includes establishing at least two virtual network function (VNF) components (VFNCs) of a distributed gateway (D-GW), each VNFC associated with an access point (AP). Each VNFC buffers packets directed to the wireless device. The method further includes selecting at least one AP for serving the wireless device, and forwarding the buffered packets from the VNFC associated with the selected APs to the selected APs for forwarding to the wireless device. Packets buffered at the VNFCs of non-selected APs are discarded.

摘要: Implementations of a registration procedure are described. The registration procedure includes a Access and Mobility Function (AMF) selection procedure and a Session Management Function (SMF) selection procedure. The AMF receives a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) registration request pertaining a User Equipment (UE). At least partially in response to the registration request: the AMF registers the UE on the network; and establishes a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session for the UE. The AMF transmits a registration response to the UE. An access node of the network receives a Radio Resource Control (RRC) registration request from a User Equipment (UE). At least partially in response to the registration request: The access node selects an AMF, and forwards a corresponding Non-Access Stratum (NAS) registration request to the selected AMF. The NAS registration request includes PDU session request information pertaining to the UE.
