SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USER PLANE HANDLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520859 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USER PLANE HANDLING

Simplified Explanation

The present invention provides systems and methods for user plane handling. An aspect of the disclosure provides a method of user plane handling. Such a method includes sending, by a first user plane entity, to a second user plane entity, a trigger message for changing the user plane handling for a protocol data unit (PDU) session. Another aspect of the disclosure provides a method of using a shared tunnel. Such a method includes receiving from a reception tunnel by a first user plane entity a tunnel packet including a tunnel header and a data packet. Such a method further includes routing, by the first user plane entity to a second tunnel using information in the tunnel header without processing the data packet.

  • User plane handling method involving sending trigger messages for changing handling in PDU sessions.
  • Method of using a shared tunnel by routing packets based on tunnel headers without processing data packets.
