Femtocell local breakout mechanisms

摘要

Local breakout mechanisms can be performed by a femto access point (FAP) to facilitate efficient utilization of backhaul and/or macro networks. In particular, a slave Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) can be integrated within the FAP to directly route the incoming traffic from a user equipment (UE) at the FAP. In one example, Internet bound traffic can be directly routed to the Internet, without employing macro network resources. Further, the system can avoid hairpinning by routing traffic between the UE and a home Local Area Network (LAN) by a anchoring a call or a session in the slave GGSN and facilitate integration of UEs with home applications by employing a UE Digital Home Agent. In addition, the FAP can perform UE-to-UE CS media breakout to facilitate communication between UEs attached to the FAP, without routing the traffic through the core macro network.

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining routing data, which represents a first routing path for routing of data associated with a first device through a first network device in communication with the system, based on policy data and device data stored in a data store, wherein the policy data represents policies for the system and the device data represents information for the first device and a second device in communication with the system;performing a local breakout for the data associated with the first device based on the policy data and the device data stored in the data store; andin response to receiving instruction data associated with an instruction to override the local breakout, disabling a breakout functionality associated with the system, and updating the policy data and the routing data to represent a second routing path for the routing of the data through a second network device in communication with the system.
