CONVERGED NETWORK SYSTEM INDEPENDENT OF ACCESS SCHEME, AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention provides a converged network system independent of a wired or wireless access technology and a method thereof having advantages of attempting to optimize provision of various future services and providing efficiency of investment and operation of an infrastructure by accommodating various network access technologies such as an international mobile telecommunication (IMT)-2020 wireless technology (5G), a wireless fidelity (WiFi), and the like, as All-IP-based converged control technology, and introducing a common signaling system and a mobility control system.

主权项

1. A converged network system for converged accommodation of a multi-access network, comprising:
one or more converged gateways disposed on a converged wired internet protocol (IP) network for transmitting traffic; and a unified control entity managing and controlling the one or more converged gateways, and providing a route of transmitted and received IP flows to the converged gateways so that the converged gateways separate and manage/control traffic for each subscriber or each service and communicate with homogeneous access nodes or two or more kinds of heterogeneous access nodes connected to a backhaul on the basis of IP packets, wherein the unified control entity performs at least one of control functions including user authentication control, access control, user equipment mobility control, service call control for IP flows, mobility control, and quality of service (QoS) control through the one or more converged gateways.
