Abstract: A home agent is configured to be placed in a visited connectivity service network and configured to provide a possibility of a local break out of data. The home agent is configured to separate a first data traffic path and a second data traffic path. The first data traffic path is directly routed between the visited connectivity service network and the internet, and the second data traffic path is routed between the visited connectivity service network and a home connectivity service network, in order to minimize a number of hops and delay times. The home agent is configured to receive a routing policy from a home authentication, authorization and accounting server. The home agent is configured to route data traffic based on the received routing policy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for providing an improved peer-to-peer system, in particular, to providing live streams.

Abstract: The present document describes a distributed communication arrangement, wherein a radio access network of a wireless telecommunication system provides a terminal device with two logical communication connections. Both uplink and downlink of a first logical connection are routed between a base station and the terminal device through a relay node. Uplink of a second logical connection is also routed between the base station and the terminal device through the relay node. Downlink of the second logical connection is, however, transmitted directly from the base station to the terminal device. Such an arrangement is used for cooperative communication purposes.
