Abstract
Methods and apparatus for communicating with the Internet via a gateway are disclosed. The gateway may be a Radio Access Network (RAN) gateway. The gateway may communicate data with at least one user equipment (UE). The gateway may route the data via one or more interfaces. The data may be routed by bypassing a core network.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- receiving user equipment (UE) data;
- routing, by an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway, the UE data in IP formatted packets directly to the Internet while bypassing a core network;
- and
- routing, by the IP gateway, authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) information to the core network via the Internet.
1 more element
A gateway apparatus comprising:
- a first interface;
- and
- a second interface to connect the gateway apparatus to the Internet,
- wherein the gateway apparatus receives user equipment (UE) data via the first interface, routes the UE data in IP formatted packets through the second interface directly to the Internet while bypassing a core network, and routes authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) information to the core network via the Internet.
1 more element
A communications network comprising:
- a plurality of transceivers;
- and
- at least one gateway device including a first interface to connect the at least one gateway device to and receive user equipment (UE) data from a respective one of the transceivers, and a second interface to connect the at least one gateway device to the Internet, wherein the at least one gateway device routes the received UE data in IP formatted packets through the second interface directly to the Internet while bypassing a core network, and routes authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) information to the core network via the Internet.
