WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE OF MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A mobile communication network includes a radio communication device which is installed in a mobile communication network to carry out radio communication with a mobile terminal, a gateway which relays a communication from the terminal device from the radio communication device to the Internet, and a node which carries out an authentication process in response to a connection request from the mobile terminal. The gateway is installed in the radio communication device or in a carrier network. The node establishes a direct tunnel between the radio communication device and the gateway, so that the mobile terminal is connected to the Internet via the direct tunnel and via the mobile communication network. Thus, it is possible to reduce traffic simply passing through the carrier network.
