Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for a 3G gateway. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed, comprising a gateway situated between a 3G radio access network (RAN) and a core network, the gateway providing resource management for a nodeB, and providing routing and node management for another base station, wherein the base station may be configured to provide, as a virtual RNC, radio resource control, power control, ciphering, and multiplexing of multiple users onto a transmission path for a first mobile device attached to the nodeB; the gateway may be configured to relay traffic for a second mobile device attached to the base station; and the gateway may be configured to relay traffic to the core network from both the nodeB and the base station via an IuCS interface and an IuPS interface.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a base station management gateway situated between a multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT) radio access network (RAN), the multi-RAT RAN including both of a 2G RAN and a non-2G RAN, and a packet core network and a circuit core network, the base station management gateway providing resource management for a base transceiver station (BTS) in the 2G RAN and the base station management gateway providing routing and node management for a base station or access point in the non-2G RAN,
wherein the base station management gateway is configured to provide radio resource control, power control, ciphering, and multiplexing of multiple users onto a transmission path for a first 2G mobile device attached to the BTS;
wherein the base station management gateway is configured to relay traffic for a second mobile device attached to the base station or access point;
wherein the base station management gateway uses an application part protocol (AP);
and
wherein the base station management gateway is configured to relay traffic to the circuit core network from both the BTS and the non-2G RAN, and configured to relay traffic to the packet core network from both the BTS and the non-2G RAN.
