Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for resolving multiple contexts for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless network. In one embodiment a method includes maintaining, for a coordinating node hosting a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) controller and a second RAT controller simultaneously, a centrally maintained database; determining, based on the contents of the centrally maintained database, when the UE is registering with the second RAT controller while currently registered with the first RAT controller; and sending, by the second RAT controller, a deregistration command to the first RAT controller the UE was registered with, wherein context is freed and wherein resources held at both the coordinating node and at a base station are freed.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for MME load balancing. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: processing, at an MME, at least one of: an eNodeB Identifier (ID) in a setup request; Tracking Area Code (TAC) information in a setup request which an eNodeB is supporting against a configured TAC for nodes at the MME; and historical data relating to a maximum number of subscribers the MME has attached per peer. The method further includes determining a preferred load balancing arrangement at the MME based on the processing.
