Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to enabling data network devices to communicate using wireless network nodes, including user equipment (UE) and/or core network nodes, in a wireless network. The data network devices can have associated mechanisms for interfacing with the wireless network nodes, and the wireless network functions can facilitate transparent transfer of control information for the associated mechanisms.
Claims48
A method for reporting control information via wireless communication, comprising:
- obtaining, by a user equipment (UE), at least one of control information or status information for at least one of a mechanism used to attach an end node to the UE or the end node, wherein the mechanism includes an Ethernet port or a management entity for the Ethernet port, and wherein at least one of the control information or the status information relates to management information for the Ethernet port;
- and
- transmitting, via a radio access network, at least one of the control information or the status information to a network function in a wireless network for providing to an application that manages at least one of the mechanism or the end node.
A method for reporting control information via wireless communication, comprising:
- obtaining, by a first network function, at least one of control information or status information for a mechanism on the first network function used to communicate with an end node, wherein the mechanism includes an Ethernet port or a management entity for the Ethernet port, and wherein at least one of the control information or the status information relates to management information for the Ethernet port;
- and
- transmitting, via one or more core network nodes of a wireless network, at least one of the control information or the status information to a second network function for providing to an application that manages the mechanism.
A method for reporting control information via wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a first network function and from an application via a data network, a communication for providing to a mechanism that attaches data network nodes to a wireless network via one or more UEs or one or more core network nodes;
- where the communication relates to at least one of a first mechanism used to attach an end node to a user equipment (UE) or the end node, transmitting the communication to the first mechanism via a radio access network and the UE, wherein the first mechanism includes a first Ethernet port or a management entity for the first Ethernet port, and wherein the communication relates to management information for the first Ethernet port;
- and
- where the communication relates to a second mechanism used to attach a second network function to the data network, sending the communication to the second mechanism via one or more core network nodes of the wireless network, wherein the second mechanism includes a second Ethernet port or a management entity for the second Ethernet port, and wherein the communication relates to management information for the second Ethernet port.
