Methods, apparatus, and systems for selecting appropriate gateway servers for user devices with different device capabilities are disclosed. In one example aspect, a wireless communication method includes provisioning multiple wireless electronic devices of a user with a first access point name, and receiving, from a wireless electronic device of the multiple wireless electronic devices of the user, a request for establishing a data session. The method also includes determining, in part based on a capability of the wireless electronic device, a second access point name that is different from the first access point name and selecting a packet gateway server corresponding to the capability of the wireless electronic device using the second access point name. The method further includes establishing the data session between the packet gateway server and the wireless electronic device.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for supporting mobile originated data multicasting in a communications network.in a communications network are disclosed. One method includes receiving, from a consumer network function (NF) in a communications network, a deliver request message containing mobile originated (MO) data corresponding to a protocol data unit (PDU) session, wherein NIDD context information stored at NEF and referred by a context identifier in the deliver request message includes a subscriber identifier and a data network identifier associated with a user device requesting the PDU session and determining that a rule entry belonging to a plurality of rule entries contained in a multicasting ruleset matches at least one of the subscriber identifier and the data network identifier included in the NIDD context information that is stored at the NEF and referred by the context identifier in the deliver request message. The method further includes accessing a list of NF identity objects in the rule entry in response to determining the rule entry matches at least one of the subscriber identifier and/or the data network identifier and delivering the MO data to each of a plurality of NF endpoints specified in the rule entry in accordance with a routing condition indicated in each of the NF identity objects respectively associated with each of the NF endpoints.

Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of network device name management involves at a cloud server, determining a device name of a network device to be deployed at a customer site based on site survey result information of the customer site, at the cloud server, receiving network device information of the network device after the network device is deployed at the customer site, and at the cloud server, associating the device name of the network device with the network device information of the network device.

Systems and methods are disclosed for a 3G gateway. In a first embodiment, a method is disclosed for a network, comprising: receiving a relocation request message at a home nodeB gateway (HNBGW), the HNBGW coupled to an operator core network, the relocation request message including a target super cell identifier and a user equipment (UE) identifier; sending a second relocation request message from the HNBGW to a coordinating node, the coordinating node having as its identifier the target super cell identifier; querying a lookup table at the coordinating node using the UE identifier to determine a target cell identifier; replacing, in the second relocation request message, the target super cell identifier with the target cell identifier to create a third relocation request message; and sending the third relocation request message to a target cell identified by the target cell identifier.

A method of redirecting data streams exchanged by a mobile terminal associated with a “third-party” account, with a first telecommunications network. The method includes a prior stage including: the first network receiving from the mobile terminal a registration request, and recovering the profile of the third-party account; the first network sending a DNS request including a “redirection” access point name; the DNS system responding by supplying the IP address of a “stream redirection” server; the first network setting up a tunnel between the server and the mobile terminal, by providing the server with at least one identifier of the third-party account; the server supplying a second telecommunications network with which the user of the mobile terminal holds a personal account that is distinct from the third-party account, with at least one identifier of the personal account; and the stream redirection server setting up a tunnel with the second network.

A method for selecting a gateway node for a terminal which connects to its registered domain via an access domain and, in a predetermined scenario, an intermediate domain, the access domain having an associated domain name system arranged to return an address of a gateway node based on a domain name system query. The method includes using a first part of such a query to identify the registered domain of the terminal to the domain name system and a second part of the query to indicate to the domain name system that it should use a predetermined mapping to return the address of a gateway node based on the query, the predetermined mapping being one which returns an address of a gateway node either in the registered domain or in an intermediate domain based on the registered domain identified in the query and on the access domain.

The present invention provides a method for obtaining a serving gateway, a mobility management node, a data gateway, and a system. A method for obtaining a serving gateway according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: when a UE is switched from an old-side mobility management node to a new-side mobility management node, sending, by the new-side mobility management node, a domain name resolution request to a domain name system DNS server according to access information of the UE; receiving a hostname of a device returned, according to the domain name resolution request, by the DNS server; obtaining a hostname of a new-side available S-GW; and selecting the new-side available S-GW closest to the device on geographic topology as a new-side S-GW. User service data transmission time delay can be reduced through the method.

Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of network device name management involves at a cloud server, determining a device name of a network device to be deployed at a customer site based on site survey result information of the customer site, at the cloud server, receiving network device information of the network device after the network device is deployed at the customer site, and at the cloud server, associating the device name of the network device with the network device information of the network device.

Provided are a method and system for distributing service data, wherein the method includes that a user terminal is authenticated and accesses a core network, a service data message sent by the user terminal is received, target address information contained in the service data message is acquired, and the service data message is distributed according to the acquired target address information.

An access network has a position management device function, the loss of connectivity to a core network by a base station is detected, and a state transition process, led by the base station, for transitioning to an Isolated E-UTRAN state is initiated on the basis of the detection. In the state transition process, by performing a reattach procedure from a terminal device, a switch to base station loop-back communication can be made. It is possible thereby to provide a communication control method by which communication between terminals present within the communication coverage of a base station which has lost connectivity to a core network is switched to base station loop-back communication.
