METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRAFFIC RE-ROUTING BASED ON APPLICATION-LAYER TRAFFIC OPTIMIZATION SERVICES IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

Communication systems may benefit from a naming, traffic re-routing scheme based on application-layer traffic optimization services. A method may include sending a registration request to a first network element from at least two UE and receiving a registration response from the first network element to the at least two UE. The method may include sending an application registration to a second network element from the at least two UE and receiving an application list notification from the second network element to the at least two UE. The method may include exchanging an application-level message between the at least two UE. The method may include sending a request to anchor the at least two UE traffic to a third network element and receiving a unique identifier generated from the first network element to the at least two UE. The method may include exchanging application signaling and data between the at least two UE.

1. A method, comprising:
sending a first registration request to a first network element from a first user equipment; sending a second registration request to the first network element from a second user equipment; receiving a registration response from the first network element to the first and the second user equipment; sending an application registration to a second network element from the first and the second user equipment; receiving an application list notification from the second network element to the first and the second user equipment; and exchanging an application-level message between the first and the second user equipment based on the first and the second user equipment being registered and receiving the application list notification.
