First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication system for communications with mobile user equipment, comprising:
- a first 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;
a first 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;
a packet data network (PDN) gateway operatively connected to the application-aware serving gateway and facing a PDN, wherein the application-aware serving gateway is arranged to apply a given policy to the packets based on a comparing of the given policy to the user identifier and the application type identifier;
a second base station to communicate the radio signal messages with the mobile user equipment, and to communicate the packets based on the radio signal messages; and
a second application-aware serving gateway to receive the packets from at least one of the first base station and the second base station, wherein the first application-aware serving gateway is further arranged to receive an externally generated handoff command identifying the mobile user equipment, generate and store an application-aware training data based on the user identifier, the application type identifier, and the given policy, and transmit the application-aware training data to the second application-aware serving gateway in response to the handoff command.

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.

9. A method for managing mobile protocol packets, comprising:
-
communicating packets from a mobile user equipment to a first application-aware serving gateway, the packets having a header field and a payload field; detecting, at the first 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 first application-aware serving gateway, a user identifier and an application type identifier; applying, at the first application aware serving gateway, a given policy to the packets based on comparing the given policy to the user identifier and the application type identifier; generating an application-aware training data at the application-aware serving gateway, based on the stored user identifier, the application type identifier, and the given policy; receiving, at the application-aware serving gateway, an externally generated handoff command identifying the mobile user equipment and indicating a handoff from a first base station to a second base station communicating packets from the mobile user equipment, wherein the first base station and the second base station communicate the packets based on radio signal messages with the mobile user equipment; and propagating the application-aware training data from the application-aware serving gateway to a handoff second application-aware serving gateway in response to the handoff command. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A serving gateway for transporting packets between mobile user equipment and a packet data network (PDN) gateway, the packets having at least a header field and a payload field, comprising:
-
an application-aware engine 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 detected header information and the detected application information; and a packet management engine arranged to perform a forwarding of the packets according to a given policy based on the user identifier and the application type identifier; and a hot redundancy application aware processing handoff engine arranged to; generate an application-aware training data at the application-aware serving gateway, based on the stored user identifier, the application type identifier, and the given policy; receive, at the application-aware serving gateway, an externally generated handoff command identifying a mobile user equipment and indicating a handoff from a first base station to a second base station communicating packets from the mobile user equipment, wherein the first base station and the second base station communicate the packets based on radio signal messages with the mobile user equipment; and transfer the application-aware training data from the application-aware serving gateway to a handoff second application-aware serving gateway in response to the handoff command.
