Service-based routing for mobile core network

摘要

Data sessions are established based in part on services. When establishing a data session for a communication device, the desired mobility gateway can be dynamically assigned via a specified policy mechanism or provisioned using a predefined service policy table, where particular services are linked with respective identifiers associated with respective mobility gateways. A communication device can reference the service policy table to locate a service that is to be used for the data session and can identify an identifier(s) linked to the service(s) and associated with a mobility gateway(s). The identifier(s) can be received and used to facilitate selecting one or more respective mobility gateways for the data session(s). The service policy table can be automatically pushed to the communication device or the communication device can initiate a download of the service policy table when the default data connection is established.

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: receiving a mobility gateway identifier from a device via a default communication connection associated with the device and a default mobility gateway device, wherein the mobility gateway identifier is determined based on service policy data that was communicated to the device via the default communication connection, and wherein the service policy data is based on a defined service criterion that relates to respective costs associated with mobility gateway devices to be incurred in connection with establishment of a dedicated communication connection between a communication device and a mobility gateway device of the mobility gateway devices; determining the mobility gateway device of the mobility gateway devices to use in connection with a service, based on the mobility gateway identifier received via the default communication connection, to facilitate the establishment of the dedicated communication connection between the communication device and the mobility gateway device to facilitate communication of traffic associated with the communication device in connection with the service employed during a communication session; and in response to the mobility gateway device being determined, establishing the dedicated communication connection between the communication device and the mobility gateway device.
