Method for integrating network elements on communications system
First Claim
1. A method for integrating network elements in an integration Internet protocol (ALL-IP) network based on a next generation mobile communications network, the method comprising the steps of:
- integrating a packet control function (PCF) for interworking a radio access network (RAN) with a packet network and a packet data service node (PDSN) function for performing a function as an access node for connecting data subscribers accessed through the RAN to the packet network; and
in case of providing a mobile Internet protocol (IP) service, integrating a mobile Internet IP foreign agent (FA) of the PDSN and a link layer edge function of a mobile station in the PCF.

Abstract
A method integrates network elements in an integration Internet protocol (ALL-IP) network based on a next generation mobile communications network. For the purpose, the method integrates a packet control function (PCF) for interworking a radio access network (RAN) with a packet data network and a packet data serving node (PDSN) function for performing a function as an access node to enable data terminals to communicate with the packet data network through the RAN, and integrates, in case of providing a mobile Internet protocol (mobile IP) service, a mobile Internet Protocol foreign agent (mobile IP FA) of the PDSN and a link layer termination function of a mobile station in the PCF.

9. An integration Internet protocol (ALL-IP) network based on a next generation mobile communications network including a processor, comprising:
a computer readable medium for implementing a function for integrating a packet control function (PCF) for interworking a radio access network (RAN) with a packet network and a packet data service node (PDSN) function performing a function as an access node for connecting data subscribers accessed through the RAN to the packet network, and employing, in case of providing a mobile Internet protocol (IP) service, a mobile Internet IP foreign agent (FA) of the PDSN and a link layer termination function of a mobile station in the PCF.
