Abstract:
A traffic controller (8) receives, from a traffic monitor (7), a first control message generated in response to an increase in a total transmission rate of a plurality of packet flows sent from a plurality of wireless terminals (1) to a specific external network. The controller (8) determines, based on an evaluation criterion received from a criteria manager (6), one or more packet flows on which traffic shaping is to be imposed. In response to the first control message, the controller (8) controls a base station within a RAN (2) or a packet transfer node within a mobile backhaul (30) to execute the traffic shaping. This, for example, contribute to adjusting traffic that passes through a cellular communication network based on a monitoring result of a total transmission rate of traffic sent from the cellular communication network to the external network.
Abstract:
A network entity (5) sends, to a mobility management entity (6) or a subscriber server (9), a request message in order to configure the mobility management entity (6) to report a second identifier to be used by a radio access network node (2) for identifying a radio terminal (1). Further, the network entity (5) receives the second identifier from the mobility management entity (6) directly or through the subscriber server (9) and communicates with the radio access network node (2) by using the second identifier. It is thus, for example, possible to allow an MEC server (or an MEC application hosted on the MEC server) and the radio access network (RAN) node to directly exchange therebetween control messages regarding a specific radio terminal.
Abstract:
A base station includes a wakeup signal transmission part transmitting transmission signal information to a wireless terminal by wireless communication. The transmission signal information includes a wakeup signal starting a given function included by the wireless terminal. The wakeup signal transmission part transmits the transmission signal information including connection information in addition to the wakeup signal to the wireless terminal. The connection information is information for causing the wireless terminal of a destination of transmission of the wakeup signal to connect by wireless communication using the given function.
