  • Patent number: 11962566
    Abstract: An example object is to appropriately provide, to a terminal apparatus, both a service via a packet data network gateway and a service for Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network. A first communication processing unit 131 transfers data between a terminal apparatus 500 and a packet data network gateway 200 when a destination address of the data for the terminal apparatus 500 is an address other than an address of an MEC server 300, and a second communication processing unit 133 transfers data between the terminal apparatus 500 and the MEC server 300 when a destination address of data for the terminal apparatus 500 is an address of the MEC server 300.

  • Publication number: 20230396558
    Abstract: A communication control device included in a user plane of a mobile communication system in which a control plane and the user plane are separated includes: a packet transfer unit that transfers a packet to a network apparatus; a reception unit that receives, from the control plane, a basic DSCP being a DSCP set to each QoS flow by the control plane according to a QoS class; and a measurement unit that measures a use band amount of the packet for each of the QoS flow, and the packet transfer unit determines a new DSCP being a DSCP to be stored in the packet to be transferred, based on the basic DSCP and the use band amount of the QoS flow to which the packet to be transferred belongs, and stores the new DSCP in the packet to be transferred to the network apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20230155952
    Abstract: An identification unit analyzes a received packet and identifies a network slice to which the received packet belongs and a class in QoS. A group of queues includes a plurality of queue groups associated with the plurality of network slices. Each queue group includes a plurality of queues associated with a plurality of classes in the QoS. A distribution unit distributes the received packet to a queue according to an analysis result of the received packet. Each data transfer unit acquires the received packet from the queue associated with each class of the associated queue group, and performs packet transfer processing according to the QoS on the acquired received packet.
