RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (RAN) FOR PEER-TO-PEER (P2P) COMMUNICATION

摘要

A serving gateway (S-GW) in a radio access network (RAN) server system for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication can include a P2P content manager. The P2P content manager can be configured for receiving P2P data content from other nodes in a P2P network, forwarding the P2P data content to other nodes in the P2P network, and transmitting the P2P data content to a mobile device associated with the S-GW in a downlink (DL) transmission. The serving gateway can be a node in the P2P network and coupled to a transmission station in the RAN. The P2P data content includes at least one P2P data packet.
