Method and a system for distributing of user equipment context in an evolved packet system
First Claim
1. A method for distributing of user equipment context in an evolved packet system, includinga plurality of user equipment,at least one eNodeB,at least a first mobility management entity and a second mobility management entity, andat least one serving gateway connected to at least the first and second mobility management entities,the plurality of user equipment being connected via one of the eNodeBs to the second mobility management entity and to the at least one serving gateway,a user equipment context for each of the plurality of user equipment each being stored at the second mobility management entity, the method comprising:
- a) transferring in bulk all user equipment contexts of the plurality of user equipment contexts stored at the second mobility management entity to the first mobility management entity within a first transfer time, each user equipment context including, for each user equipment, a mobility management entity code;
b) reconfiguring the mobility management entity codes by and in the first mobility management entity;
c) storing said transferred user equipment contexts of the plurality of user equipment in the first mobility management entity; and
d) transferring the reconfigured mobility management entity codes to the at least one eNodeB.

Abstract
A method for distributing user equipment context in an evolved packet system, including a plurality of user equipment, at least one eNodeB, a first mobility management entity and a second mobility management entity and one serving gateway connected to the first and second mobility management entity, the plurality of user equipment being connected via one of the eNodeBs to the second mobility management entity and to the serving gateway, wherein the user equipment context for the plurality of user equipment is each stored at the second mobility management entity, includes: a) transferring bulk user equipment context for the plurality of user equipment context, each having a mobility management entity code, to the first mobility management entity, b) reconfiguring the mobility management entity codes, c) storing the transferred user equipment context in the first mobility management entity, and d) transferring reconfigured mobility management entity codes to the at least one eNodeB.
