Abstract
A method for managing at least one communication network, including a first network including a mobility management entity. The method includes broadcasting, on a multicast IP address, an announcement message carrying an identifier of the mobility management entity; and receiving at least one attachment message from at least one entity for coordinating the broadcast in the first network or at least a second network of the at least one communication network, carrying an identifier of the broadcast coordination entity sending the attachment message.
Claims17
A method for managing at least one communication network, comprising a first network comprising a mobility management entity of a network core of the first network, the method being implemented by the mobility management entity and comprising:
- broadcasting, on a multicast IP address, an announcement message carrying an identifier of said mobility management entity;
- and
- receiving at least one attachment message, from at least one broadcast coordination entity of a radio access network of said first network or from at least one second network of said at least one communication network, carrying an identifier of the broadcast coordination entity emitting said attachment message.
A method for managing at least one communication network, comprising a first network comprising a broadcast coordination entity of a radio access network of the first network, the method being implemented by the broadcast coordination entity and comprising:
- receiving an announcement message broadcast, on a multicast IP address, by a mobility management entity of a network core of said first network or of at least one second network of said at least one communication network, said announcement message carrying an identifier of said mobility management entity;
- and
- transmitting to said mobility management entity at least one attachment message, carrying an identifier of said broadcast coordination entity.
A method for managing at least one communication network, comprising a first network comprising a broadcast management entity of a network core of the first network, the method being implemented by the broadcast management entity and comprising:
- receiving an announcement message broadcast, on a multicast IP address, by a mobility management entity of the network core of said first network or of at least one second network of said at least one communication network, said announcement message broadcast carrying an identifier of said mobility management entity.
A broadcast management entity of a network core of a first network of at least one communication network, wherein the broadcast management entity comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor configure the broadcast management entity to implement a method comprising:
- receiving an announcement message broadcast, on a multicast IP address, by a mobility management entity of said first network or of at least one second network of said at least one communication network, said announcement message broadcast carrying an identifier of said mobility management entity.
