Abstract
Optimizing modify bearer request handling may be provided. A Modify Bearer Request (MBR) may be received by a Serving Gateway (SGW) for a User Equipment (UE). Then a current User Location Information (ULI) may be compared, in the MBR, to a previous ULI. It may then be determined, based on the comparison, determining, if the current ULI and the previous ULI are included in a same Extended-ULI (E-ULI). Next, when the current ULI and the previous ULI are included in the same E-ULI, the MBR may be suppressed from being forwarded to the Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW).
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a Serving Gateway (SGW), a Modify Bearer Request (MBR) for a User Equipment (UE);
- comparing a current User Location Information (ULI), in the MBR, to a previous ULI;
- based on the comparison, determining if the current ULI and the previous ULI are included in a same Extended-ULI (E-ULI);
- and
- when the current ULI and the previous ULI are included in the same E-ULI, suppressing the MBR from being forwarded to a Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW).
A system comprising:
- a memory storage;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
- receive, by a Serving Gateway (SGW), a Modify Bearer Request (MBR) for a User Equipment (UE);
- compare a current User-Location-Information (ULI), in the MBR, to a previous ULI;
- based on the comparison, determine if the current ULI and the previous ULI are included in a same Extended-ULI (E-ULI);
- and
- when the current ULI and the previous ULI are included in the same E-ULI, suppress the MBR from being forwarded to a Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW).
A computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
- receiving, by a Serving Gateway (SGW), a Modify Bearer Request (MBR) for a User Equipment (UE);
- comparing a current User-Location-Information (ULI), in the MBR, to a previous ULI;
- based on the comparison, determining if the current ULI and the previous ULI are included in a same Extended-ULI (E-ULI);
- and
- when the current ULI and the previous ULI are included in the same E-ULI, suppressing the MBR from being forwarded to a Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW).
