  • Patent number: 11395363
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of processing UE idle state, a mobility management (MM) entity, and a session management (SM) function entity. The method includes: receiving, by the mobility management MM function entity, a connection release request sent by an access network entity, wherein the connection release request carries identifier information of the UE; and sending, by the MM function entity, a user plane connection deactivation request to the SM function entity according to the connection release request, the user plane connection deactivation request is used to request the SM function entity to delete the user plane connection of the UE, and maintain the signaling plane connection of the UE. In this way, after the UE is in an idle state, the user plane between the UE and the core network is not maintained, but the signaling plane remains.

  • Patent number: 10986537
    Abstract: A method of selecting a user plane gateway and a device of selecting a user plane gateway are provided. The method includes: receiving, by a CP function, a first data packet sent by a UE; selecting, by the CP function, based on the first data packet, a first target UP-GW for the UE. An UP-GW is selected for the UE when receiving the data packet sent by the UE, so as to enable the data transmission to better adapt to changes of the UP load and the network topology, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20200127967
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an IP address configuration method and an IP address configuration device. The IP address configuration method includes: acquiring first data transmitted by a User Equipment (UE), wherein a source IP address of the first data is a default IP address or a random IP address; and determining an IP address allocated by a session management (SM) function entity to the UE as the source IP address of the first data and replacing the default IP address or the random IP address.
