Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a user equipment (UE) comprising a receiver for receiving a paging message from a base station. A processor determines at least one network slice to which the paging message pertains based on the received paging message. The disclosure further relates to a UE comprising a receiver for receiving information on a plurality of network slices. The information includes for each network slice a shortened network slice ID identifying the respective network slice and includes mapping information defining a mapping between the shortened network slice ID and a full network slice ID. A processor determines a network slice and the corresponding full network slice ID and further determines the corresponding shortened network slice ID based on the received mapping information. A transmitter transmits a data transmission preparation message to the base station that comprises the determined shortened network slice ID.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed, according to which a mobile node, having a plurality of interfaces and performing communication according to flow information when an operator is performing communication based on the flow information as defined by a policy, can select an interface suitable for the flow and can perform communication. According to this technique, a mobile node (MN 10) having a plurality of interfaces has a list to indicate domain limited flows to be transmitted only within a specific network (a trusted network), and a list to indicate the trusted networks. When a certain interface performs handover, and in case there is a domain limited flow that uses the interface, it is decided whether the network of handover destination is a trusted network or not, and in case the network of the handover destination is not a trusted network, it is decided whether it is possible or not to transmit and receive the domain limited flow via another interface that is connected to the trusted network.

Abstract: The invention discloses a technique to adequately control a handover of a user terminal in a data communication network and to decrease the number of signalings. According to this technique, when address of a user terminal (UE (101)) is not changed after a handover, UE (101) transmits a session update signaling message to carry out update processing of application session to P-CSCF 1 (121) corresponding to a location before the handover via P-CSCF 2 (123) corresponding to a location after the handover. P-CSCF 1 (121) transfers a session update signaling message to S-CSCF/AS (125) by using setup of signaling relating to UE (100) before the handover. At S-CSCF/AS (125), the application session is updated by using registration information of UE (100) before the handover.

Abstract: A technology is disclosed for a mobile device with multiple interfaces to make use of its multiple interfaces capability with Mobile IP. According to this technology, MN (Mobile Node) 100 comprises a cellular interface to connect to the cellular network 112 and a Wireless-LAN interface to connect to the local network 122 and 132, and sends a Binding Update message to set the address of the Wireless-LAN interface to CoA (Care-of Address) to HA (Home Agent) at the cellular network or CN (Correspondent Node) 160. This Binding Update message includes a special label indication that the cellular interface is currently connected to the home network.

Abstract: With the deployment of home NodeB or home eNodeB, a user can access both operator's core network and Local Internet (IP) Access (LIPA), e.g. to home based network or general Internet, on the same device at the same time. However, existing mechanisms do not allow an efficient way of LIPA mobility support, especially when there are multiple home NodeBs or home eNodeBs serving the same LIPA domain. The present invention provides a solution that can achieve seamless mobility among different home NodeBs or home eNodeBs without interruption to LIPA service. The LIPA traffic for the terminal can be contained within the local domain during the handover process. It also provides support of the relocation of the gateway that provides the LIPA access to the mobile terminal.

Abstract: There is disclosed a technology which improves scalability in an overlay network system and which efficiently supplies a service with respect to a user, and according to the technology, for example, in a case where a mobile node (110) transmits an update message including a specific flow filtering rule to an HA (120) in order to receive a service concerning functions of multiple interfaces, the HA (120) interprets the flow filtering rule, specifies an HA 160 to transfer a data packet from CNs (180, 190), an HA (150) to transfer a data packet from the CN (190) and an HA (140) to transfer a data packet from a CN (1100), and selectively transmits to each HA a message including information useful for the respective HA.

Abstract: The present invention introduces a method for managing the route to be used for the user's local device access traffic through the use of intelligent switching performed by the breakout node (eNodeB, home NodeB, or home eNodeB) together with the local access gateway node of the local service domain. Essential information pertaining to performance of this intelligent switching is obtained through the communication of specific tokens using selected channels of communication. A variety of combinations pertaining to the setup, selection and composition of token and channel is possible and described.

Abstract: The present invention introduces a method for the network to optimize the route for user's local IP access, without affecting the access to operator's core network. With this mechanism, no excessive signalling is needed for the optimization. The present invention is also applicable to the corporate network that has multiple home NodeBs or home eNodeBs. Finer grain control on the services to be provided over different home NodeB or home eNodeB is also possible. Further, path optimization and continuation of the service upon handover can be controlled, and hence flexibility of the service can be secured.
