Architectural model for LTE (long term evolution) EPC (evolved packet core) deployment

摘要

A new deployment model enables a seamless migration to LTE (long term evolution)/EPC (Evolved packet core). In addition, an intelligent edge gateway (IEG) supports future distributed architecture and a converged network for service providers. Specifically, the model supports existing data services (e.g. UMTS) and the delivery of LTE services does not affect the existing data services. Moreover, a distributed architecture is employed, such that, local traffic is optimally routed at the edge and backhaul is minimized. The system can also provide support for enhanced Femto cell 3GPP access to a home network.

1. A system, comprising:
a memory to store executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising: based on time dependent traffic projection data, determining a first portion of data, received at a serving support node device of a first communication network in accordance with first percentage data, that is to be directed to a first packet data network gateway device, wherein the first packet data network gateway device is deployed at a parent node device of a hierarchically defined second communication network, based on the time dependent traffic projection data, determining a second portion of the data in accordance with second percentage data that is to be directed to a second packet data network gateway device that is deployed at a child node device of the hierarchically defined second communication network, and in response to determining that an expiration of a defined time period has occurred, updating the time dependent traffic projection data to adjust the second percentage data to facilitate an increase in the second portion of data.
