Abstract
A mobile network component comprises a mobile management entity, MME, a software defined network controller, SDNC. The SDNC is configured to link to MME so as to establish directly Ethernet, MPLS or GRE based internet protocol with mobile QoS priorities mapped into Ethernet, MPLS or GRE transport priorities, IP, communications between evolved node b, eNB, SDN switch, and internet.
Claims16
A mobile network component (eMME), comprising:
- a mobile management entity (MME);
- a software defined network controller (SDNC);
- and
- a quality of service (QoS) tagger configured to map mobile QoS priorities into a layer 2 or a layer 3 tunneling transport;
- wherein the SDNC is coupled with a software defined network (SDN) switch,
- wherein the SDNC is configured to link to the MME so as to establish directly the layer 2 or the layer 3 tunneling transport-based internet protocol (IP) communications between an evolved node b (eNB) and the SDN switch using the mobile QoS priorities mapped by the QoS tagger into the layer 2 or the layer 3 tunneling transport,
- wherein the MME is located on a cloud or a backhaul,
- wherein the QoS tagger is located in the eNB or in a service/packet gateway (S/P GW) and is connected with the MME, and
- wherein the layer 2 or layer 3 tunneling transport-based IP communications comprise ethernet, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), or generic routing encapsulation (GRE).
