Mobile access controller for fixed mobile convergence of data service over an enterprise WLAN

摘要

A system for providing a mobile data service to a mobile device over a fixed wireless data network comprises an enterprise network having a WLAN. An enterprise Mobile Access Controller, configured to provide IP connections to the enterprise network and mobile devices, coupled between the enterprise network and a Mobile Wireless Data Network. The enterprise Mobile Access Controller is further coupled, via a first IPTN, to an enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway resident in the MWDN. Additionally, the enterprise Mobile Access Controller is coupled, via a second IPTN, to an enterprise Mobile User-plane Aggregator configured to provide IP connections to the Mobile Wireless Data Network. The enterprise Mobile Access Controller is further configured to receive a first control-plane data from the enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway, via the first IPTN, wherein the first control-plane data at least provides configuration and management instructions to the enterprise Mobile Access Controller.
