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.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- receiving at a transceiver data in a third generation partnership project (3GPP) wireless format from at least one user equipment (UE);
- routing by an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway the received data in IP formatted packets directly through an Internet interface to bypass a core network;
- and
- tunneling authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) information directly through the Internet interface to the core network.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive data in a third generation partnership project (3GPP) wireless format from at least one user equipment (UE);
- and
- an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway configured to route the data in IP formatted packets directly through an Internet interface to bypass a core network, wherein authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) information is tunneled directly through the Internet interface to the core network.
A method comprising:
- receiving data at a transceiver in a third generation partnership project (3GPP) wireless format from at least one user equipment (UE);
- routing from an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway the received data in IP formatted packets through a GI interface such that the data is routed to the Internet by bypassing a core network;
- and
- tunneling authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) information related to the at least one UE through the GI interface and directly to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS).
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
