Abstract
Systems and methods for handling signaling connection establishment in systems which include home gateways (502, 800) are described. A request is received, by a home gateway (502, 800), to establish a signaling connection, which request includes a reason for requesting establishment of that signaling connection. The home gateway (502, 800) determines whether to establish the signaling connection based upon that reason plus a load status of at least one of the home gateway (502, 800) itself and a core network node (208).
Claims25
A method for signaling connection establishment in a home gateway, said home gateway being comprised in a radiocommunication network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at said home gateway, a request from a home base station to establish a signaling connection towards a core network node, said request including information associated with a reason for requesting establishment of said signaling connection;
- and
- determining, at said home gateway, whether to establish said signaling connection based upon said information and a load status associated with at least one of:
- (a) said home gateway and (b) said core network node in said radiocommunication network.
A home gateway comprising:
- a first interface configured to transmit signals to, and receive signals from, a plurality of home base stations, said signals including a request to establish a signaling connection, said request including information associated with a reason for requesting establishment of said signaling connection;
- a second interface configured to transmit signals to, and receive signals from, at least one core network node associated with a radiocommunication network;
- and
- at least one processor configured to determine whether to establish said signaling connection based upon said information and a load status associated with at least one of:
- (a) said home gateway and (b) said at least one core network node.
A method for signaling connection establishment in a home base station, said home base station, being comprised in a radiocommunication network, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by said home base station, a request to establish a signaling connection towards a core network node, said request including information associated with a reason for requesting establishment of said signaling connection.
