Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a session management method of an LTE network, a base station and an OpenFlow controller. Background technique
[0002] In the current LTE (Long Term Evolution, long-term evolution) or LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced, long-term evolution upgrade) network, from S-GW (Serving-GateWay, serving gateway) / PDN-GW (Packet Data Network-GateWay, Packet data gateway) to eNB (base station side) UE (user equipment) traffic data is generally backhauled through the GTP (GPRS TUNNELLING Protocol, GPRS tunneling protocol) tunnel, specifically as Picture 1-1 shown. However, when the UE moves to another new eNB, even if the IP address in the UE traffic data has not changed, the GTP tunnel needs to be re-established, specifically as follows Figure 1-2 shown. Obviously, such frequent GTP tunnel reconstruction cannot meet the needs of ultra-dense networks in the 5G era. Contents of the ...
