METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN ENHANCED AND/OR MORE EFFICIENT HYBRID ACCESS FUNCTIONALITY WITHIN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK, BASE STATION ENTITY, HYBRID ACCESS AGGREGATION POINT NODE, AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AN ENHANCED AND/OR MORE EFFICIENT HYBRID ACCESS FUNCTIONALITY WITHIN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK, PROGRAM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for providing an enhanced and/or more efficient hybrid access functionality within a telecommunications network, wherein, by means of using a home gatetway device, at least one client device is able to be connected to the telecommunications network via a first access network and via a second access network, the first access network being an access network of a fixed line telecommunications network and the second access network being an access network of a mobile communication network, wherein the telecommunications network comprises a hybrid access aggregation point node,wherein the method comprises establishing a first user plane data transmission path and at least a second user plane data transmission path between, on the one hand, either the at least one client device or the home gateway device, and, on the other hand, the hybrid access aggregation point node,wherein, in order to establish the first user plane data transmission path, the home gatetway device is connected to a broadband access node of the first access network, the broadband access node being connected to the hybrid access aggregation point node, and, in order to establish the second user plane data transmission path, the home gatetway device is connected to a base station entity of the second access network, the base station entity being connected to the hybrid access aggregation point node, wherein in order to establish the second user plane data transmission path, the method comprises the following steps:-- in a first step, an attach procedure is initiated by means of transmitting an attach request to the base station entity,-- in a second step subsequent to the first step, the attach procedure is performed by means of an authentication procedure executed by the base station entity,-- in a third step subsequent to the second step, a tunnel is established towards the hybrid access aggregation point node.
