  • Patent number: 8351378
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for deactivating ISR and a mobility management unit. Wherein the above method includes: when an ISR deactivation is needed to be performed, the mobility management unit judging whether to perform the following operation by the S-GW according to reasons of the ISR deactivation: the mobility management unit sends a request message of deleting bearer to the S-GW, and carries, in the request message, an identifier which is used to instruct the S-GW to initiate the bearer deletion to the other mobility management unit associated with the ISR function activation; or the mobility management unit notifies the other mobility management unit associated with the ISR function activation to perform the ISR deactivation. The synchronization between the bearer deletion and the network element state in the ISR function deactivation scenarios can be realized by the above technical scheme.

  • Patent number: 8335832
    Abstract: A method for releasing buffered data of a Serving Gateway is disclosed? the Serving Gateway (Serving GW) buffers downlink data sent to a user and sends a data notification message to a Mobility Management Entity (MME); after receiving the data notification message, the MME initiates a paging to the user and sets a paging timer, if the paging timer expires and no paging response of the user is received, the MME sends a notification message to the Serving GW to inform the Serving GW that there is no paging response from the user; and after receiving the notification message, the Serving GW releases the buffered downlink data. With this method, the Serving GW can release buffered data in time without causing wrong release of the buffered data, so the system efficiency can be improved.
