First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing a packet data service upon request from an MS (Mobile Station) in a core network including an RNC(Radio Network Controller), an SGSN(Serving General packet radio service Supporting Node), and a GGSN(Gateway GPRS Supporting Node) of a mobile communication system, comprising the steps-of:
- transmitting a request message for the packet data service to the core network;
assigning a GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) path for transmitting the packet data; and
assigning uplink and downlink VCCs(virtual Channel connection) wherein at least one VCC among uplink and downlink VCCs is different from the remaining VCCs within the core network.

Abstract
To simplify a protocol structure for a packet data service in a CDMA mobile communication system, an ATM protocol is used for communication between an SGSN and a GGSN and a downlink TEID and an uplink TEID are assigned to an RNC and the GGSN and thereby, GTP tunnels are integrated into one GTP tunnel.

2. A method of establishing ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) packet data paths via control paths between an RNC (Radio Network Controller) and an SGSN (Serving General packet radio service Supporting Node) and between the SGSN and a GGSN (Gateway GPRS Supporting Node) upon a packet data service request from an MS (Mobile Station) in a core network of a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
requesting from the RNC a TEID (Tunnel Endpoint ID) identifying an uplink packet data path by the SGSN upon receipt of the packet data service request from the MS;
assigning by the RNC a first TEID to the SGSN;
assigning by the SGSN to the GGSN the first TEID and a first ATM VCC (Virtual Channel Connection) for data transmission from the GGSN to the SGSN;
assigning by the GGSN to the SGSN a second TEID and a second ATM VCC for data transmission from the SGSN to the GGSN;
assigning by the SGSN to the RNC the second TEID and a third ATM VCC for data transmission from the RNC to the SGSN ; and
assigning by the RNC to the SGSN a fourth ATM VCC for data transmission from the SGSN to the RNC. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method of providing a packet data service upon request from an MS in a core network of a CDMA mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:
-
assigning an identical uplink TEID and an identical downlink TEID to an RNC, an SGSN, and a GGSN in the core network;
assigning different uplink and downlink VCCs to the RNC, the SGSN, and the GGSN;
transmitting packet data from the RNC to the SGSN using the downlink TEID and a first downlink VCC for data transmission between the RNC and the SGSN;
transmitting packet data from the SGSN to the GGSN using the downlink TEID and a second downlink VCC for data transmission between the SGSN and the GGSN;
transmitting packet data from the GGSN to the SGSN using the uplink TEID and a first uplink VCC for data transmission between the GGSN and the SGSN; and
transmitting packet data from the SGSN to the RNC using the uplink TEID and a second uplink VCC for data transmission between the SGSN and the RNC.
