Abstract: A provided apparatus is caused to direct establishment of a connection of the apparatus with a core network via a wide area radio access network (RAN), where the core network is coupled to an external network. The apparatus is also caused to select or receive selection of a local area network that is coupled to the same or different external network via one or more local gateways (L-GWs). The apparatus is caused to request selection of a L-GW of the one or more L-GWs from the core network via the wide area RAN, and in response, receive an identity of a selected L-GW. Further, the apparatus is caused to direct contact with the selected L-GW based on the identity, and establishment of a connection of the apparatus with the selected L-GW. The apparatus may thereby be connected to the external network via the local area network and selected L-GW.

Abstract: In a radio system having at least one base station that is part of a public mobile network, at least one mobile terminal communicates with the at least one base station, a local breakout service network provides Internet protocol gateway services. A serving base station of a mobile terminal is configured to provide the local breakout service to the Internet protocol gateway while retaining user access control and a remote Internet protocol gateway of a packet core network of the public mobile network for the mobile terminal; to provide information on neighboring cells in which the local breakout service can continue; to make a handover decision based on measurement reports received from the mobile terminal; and to transfer user context data including local breakout service related information to a target base station during handover for providing mobility within the local breakout service area for the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A method of transporting data in a dedicated channel of a mobile communication system includes selectively including data in the payload of a frame, and further including in the frame an indication of at least one of the selectively included data and excluded data. The dedicated channel is an enhanced dedicated channel and the data includes data sets or transport blocks.

Abstract: Described is a method of providing an AAL2 end-to-end connection in an ATM transmission network using a first and a second AAL2 endpoint and at least an AAL2 switch. The method comprises the step of establishing an end-to-end connection on a concatenation of a first path between the first AAL2 endpoint and the at least one AAL2 switch with a second path between the at least one AAL2 switch and the second AAL2 endpoint. The selection of the first and second path is performed by using a mapping scheme which is valid at least between the first AAL2 endpoint and the at least one AAL2 switch and between the at least one AAL2 switch and the second AAL2 endpoint. The mapping scheme is configured so as to ensure that the first AAL2 endpoint can control the selection of certain paths.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system of network congestion notification is disclosed. A source node sends a destination node a data packet. Upon receipt of the data packet if network congestion is detected, the destination node introduces a congestion indication into a data packet. The data packet, including the congestion indication, is sent to the source node.
