1. A communication system for communications with mobile user equipment, comprising:
- a base station to communicate radio signal messages with the mobile user equipment, and to communicate packets based on the radio signal messages, each packet having a header field and a payload field;
an application-aware serving gateway facing the base station to receive the packets, constructed and arranged to detect header information in the header field and application information in the payload field, to generate a user identifier and an application type identifier based on the detected header information and the detected application information; and
a packet digital network (PDN) gateway operatively connected to the application-aware serving gateway and facing a DPN, whereinthe application-aware serving gateway is arranged to apply a given policy to the packets based on a comparing of the policy to the user identifier and application type identifier.

Abstract
Mobile protocol packets, with a header field and a payload field, are communicated from a user mobile equipment to an application-aware serving gateway. The application-aware mobile protocol serving gateway detects header information in the header field and application information in the payload field to manage the mobile protocol packets based on a policy.

8. A method for managing mobile protocol packets, comprising:
-
a communicating packets from a user mobile equipment to an application-aware serving gateway, the packets having a header field and a payload field; detecting, at the application-aware serving gateway, header information in the header field and application information in the payload field of the packets; generating and storing, at the application-aware serving gateway, a user identifier and an application type identifier; and applying, at the application aware serving gateway, a given policy to the packets based on comparing the policy to the user identifier and application type identifier. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A serving gateway for transporting packets between mobile user equipment and a gateway to a packet data network (PDN), the packets having at least a payload field, comprising:
-
an application-aware engine arranged to detect application information in the payload field, to generate a user identifier and an application type identifier based on the detected header information and the detected application information; and a packet management engine arranged to perform a forwarding of the packets based on the user identifier and the application type identifier.
