Patent number: 11576231Abstract: A packet destined for a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) network is received at a wireless station from a user device. A serving gateway (SGW) receives the packet from the wireless station via an S1U GTP tunnel and assigns an uplink S1U General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Tunneling Protocol (GTP) tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID) to the packet. The SGW performs a network address translation (NAT) function on the packet based on the uplink S1U GTP TEID assigned to the packet to form a translated packet. The SGW transmits the translated packet to the MEC network.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Maqbool Chauhan, Kirk Campbell, Parry Cornell Booker, Chad Allenbrand, Jerry Steben, David Taft, Edward G.
