Multipoint-to-point (mp2p) eps bearer

A method for creating a Multipoint-to-Point (MP2P) EPS bearer in a packet switched transmission network, said method comprising the following steps:

• installing a plurality of user equipments (UE) at predetermined destinations located within a predetermined tracking area, to acquire data in form of uplink data packets therefrom, each of said user equipments communicably coupled to an eNodeB, said eNodeB located within said predetermined tracking area tracked by a Serving Gateway (SGW), and wherein each of said user equipments are communicably to said eNodeB regardless of at least one of a purpose associated with each of said user equipments, and Quality of Service (QoS) parameters associated with each of said user equipments;
• configuring said eNodeB to receive the uplink data packets transmitted from each of said user equipments;
• communicably coupling said eNodeB to an S1 bearer, and eliminating a need for packet inspection at said eNodeB for identification of appropriate destination for said uplink data packets, by designating said S1 bearer as destination for said uplink data packets transmitted from said eNodeB, and further eliminating said need for packet inspection at said Serving Gateway for identification of said appropriate destination for any downlink data packets to be transmitted to said eNodeB, by designating said S1 bearer as said destination for said downlink data packets transmitted via said Serving Gateway;
• configuring said S1 bearer to multiplex said uplink data packets received from said eNodeB;
• communicably coupling said S1 bearer to an S5 bearer, and configuring said S5 bearer to receive multiplexed uplink data packets from the S1 bearer, and to transmit received multiplexed uplink data packets to a database server via a predetermined Packet Network Gateway (PGW), wherein, said Multipoint-to-Point EPS bearer is created by a communicably coupling between said eNodeB, said S1 bearer and said S5 bearer, and further enabling said Multipoint-to-Point EPS bearer to be communicably coupled to each of said plurality of user equipments for transmission of both said uplink data packets and said downlink data packets without said packet inspection;
• transmitting a paging message from a Mobility Management Entity (MME) to at least some of said plurality of user equipments present within said predetermined tracking area tracked by said Serving Gateway, only after creation of said Multipoint-to-Point EPS bearer;
• creating said Multipoint-to-Point EPS bearer only in an event of acquiring data from each of said user equipments, and deactivating said Multipoint-to-Point EPS bearer immediately after receiving said data from each of said user equipments;
• and
• preventing use of individual bearer systems dedicatedly coupled to each of said user equipments, by communicably coupling each of said plurality of user equipments directly to said Multipoint to Point EPS bearer.
