DYNAMIC SWITCHING BETWEEN EDGE NODES IN AUTONOMOUS NETWORK SYSTEM
20170366426 · 2017-12-21 ·

System and method of dynamically selecting an egress edge node for data transmission between different autonomous systems based on real-time route performance detection. With respect to a destination node located in a second autonomous system, a plurality of edge nodes in the first autonomous system each operate to detect route performance in real-time and send the detected information to a control center for evaluation. The evaluation results are compared and used to select an optimal edge node and an associated link for transporting data between the source node and the destination node. To switch from a first edge node to a second one, the IP address of the source node contained in the data packets are converted from an address assigned to the first edge node to an address assigned to the second edge node.

Described herein is a method for processing an invalidation of a downlink data tunnel between networks. The method includes the following steps: (1) a core network user plane anchor receives an error indication of data tunnel sent from an access network device, (2) after deciding that the user plane corresponding to the error indication uses a One Tunnel technology, the core network user plane anchor notifies a relevant core network control plane to request recovering the downlink data tunnel, (3) the core network control plane recovers the downlink data tunnel and notifies the core network user plane anchor to update information of the user plane. In addition, a communication system and a communication device are also provided. The method, system, and device can improve the speed of recovering data transmission after the downlink data tunnel becomes invalid.

Method and apparatus for signaling the release of a persistent resource

A method and apparatus for signaling the release of a persistent resource in long term evolution (LTE) are disclosed. An indication of the release of a downlink (DL) persistent resource is received by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) from an evolved Node-B (eNB) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). A positive acknowledgement (ACK) is transmitted by the WTRU which denotes that the indication has been received. The PDCCH or a medium access control (MAC) CE may be used by the eNB to signal the indication. At least one bit may be added to contents of the PDCCH to signal whether the PDCCH is for DL persistent or dynamic resource allocation. The DL persistent resource is then released and an indication that the DL persistent resource has been released is transmitted.
