METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BYPASSING 3GPP PACKET SWITCHED CORE NETWORK WHEN ACCESSING INTERNET FROM 3GPP UES USING 3GPP RADIO ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

Techniques for bypassing a packet core network for Internet bound traffic from user equipment (UE) via a RAN are described herein. According to one embodiment, it is determined whether a packet of data is destined for the Internet, in response to receiving the packet from a radio network controller (RNC) of a radio access network (RAN). The packet is originated from user equipment (UE) over the RAN. The packet is routed directly to the Internet without sending the packet to an SGSN (serving GPRS support node) of a packet core network, if the packet is destined to the Internet. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
