Unique connection identifier

摘要

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a connection identification scheme are provided. One method includes determining, for example by an information receiver, a unique connection identity for an off-band connection with an information provider. The unique connection identity may be based on information related to a user plane connection with the information provider. The method may further include storing the unique connection identity, receiving radio access network information and synchronization information from the information provider, and synchronizing at least part of the radio access information with at least part of information sent in the user plane connection, using the synchronization information.

1. A method, comprising:
establishing a user plane connection passing through an information receiver and an information provider without an off-band connection being present between the information receiver and the information provider; after the establishing of the user plane connection, determining a unique connection identity for the off-band connection between the information receiver and the information provider, the unique connection identity being based on information related to the previously established user plane connection passing through the information receiver and the information provider; storing the unique connection identity; receiving radio access network information and synchronization information from the information provider; and synchronizing at least part of the radio access network information with at least part of information sent in the previously established user plane connection, using the synchronization information.
