SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PLACING VIRTUAL SERVING GATEWAYS FOR MOBILITY MANAGEMENT

摘要

Methods and systems for determining placement of a virtual serving gateway. The method includes obtaining a set of input information. The input information includes network information and configuration information providing one or more parameters for placing the virtual serving gateway, and includes at least one mobility insensitivity criterion. Placement of the virtual serving gateway at one or more physical hosts is determined in accordance with the network information and the configuration information. The virtual serving gateway is distributively placeable across physical hosts. A set of output information is generated. The output information includes information identifying placement of the virtual serving gateway at the physical hosts, and a hosting percentage for each physical host.

1. A method for placing a virtual serving gateway for serving a mobile device in a physical network, the method comprising:
obtaining a set of input parameters including at least one mobility insensitivity criterion, the set of input parameters providing information for evaluating one or more host candidates in the physical network; and generating a set of output information indicating placement of the virtual serving gateway over one or more physical hosts selected from the one or more host candidates in accordance with the set of input parameters, the set of output information further indicating a respective hosting percentage for each physical host.
