  • Patent number: 10575173
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a local evolved packet core (EPC) that interoperates with an eNodeB and a remote EPC. If it is determined that it is possible or likely that the eNodeBs may lose the connection to the remote EPC, or if a connection has been lost, the local EPC may serve as a transparent proxy between the eNodeBs and the remote EPC, identify active sessions and transparently proxy those sessions, destroy or de-allocate unneeded sessions or bearers, and download and synchronize application data and authentication credentials, such as HSS or AAA data, to provide authentication to mobile devices once offline. The use of the local EPC and/or the remote EPC may be toggled, or switched, preemptively or reactively, based on various network conditions. The remote EPC may be disconnected proactively when the local EPC determines that there is no connectivity.
