Label switched packet transfer device |
摘要 |
A device for connecting base station(s) to a cellular label switched network in a cellular network. The cellular network includes: base station(s), the connecting device(s); cellular label switched network(s); and service area(s). The base station(s) communicates with mobile terminals using wireless technology. The wireless technology uses a protocol layer architecture that includes at least one of the following: a wireless physical layer; a wireless medium access control protocol layer; a radio link control layer; and a network layer. The connecting device(s) include: a first interface to connect to the base station(s); a second interface to connect to cellular label switched network(s); and a label forwarding layer that: forwards packets between base station(s) and cellular label switched network(s); attaches label(s) to packets and removes label(s) from packets. A service area divided into a multitude of cells through which mobile terminals can move through and communicate with base station(s). |

1. A network node that is configured to forward packets between a label switching node and a base station in a cellular network, the network node comprising:
a label switching component that is configured to:
receive a first network packet from the base station, wherein the base station is associated with a cell site;attach a first label to the first network packet, wherein the first label corresponds to a first label switched path; andenable communications of the first network packet with the attached first label to the label switching node. |
