Abstract

A method, network server, and communication system for deleting an address of a network anchor point from a network server is disclosed. A MMM sends an instruction to the network server to instruct the network server to delete an address of a network anchor point that has been previously stored in the network from. The network server deletes the address of the network anchor point from the network server.

Claims (33)

1. A communication system, comprising:

a network server capable of communicatively connecting to a network anchor point and a user equipment (UE),

wherein the network server is configured to:

receive an instruction to delete address information of the network anchor point stored in the network server; and

delete the address information of the network anchor point from the network server in accordance with the received instruction,

wherein the instruction to delete the address information is determined based on subscription data of the UE, and the subscription data indicates that the UE is subscribed to a mobility capability of moving to a non-3 rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network.

2. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the network server comprises a home subscriber server (HSS).

3. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the network server is configured to receive the instruction from a mobility management entity (MME).

4. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the network server is further configured to delete, from the network server, a relationship between the address information of the network anchor point and a access point name (APN) corresponding to the network anchor point stored in the network server.

5. A network server comprising:

a receiver configured to receive an instruction to delete address information of a network anchor point stored in the network server; and

a processor configured to delete the address information of the network anchor point from the network server in accordance with the received instruction,

wherein the instruction to delete the address information is determined based on subscription data of the UE, and wherein the subscription data indicates that the UE is subscribed to a mobility capability of moving to a non-3 rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network.

6. The network server of claim 5 , wherein the network server comprises a home subscriber server (HSS).

7. The network server of claim 5 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive the instruction from a mobility management entity (MME).

8. The network server of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to delete, from the network server, a relationship between the address information of the network anchor point and a access point name (APN) corresponding to the network anchor point stored in the network server.

9. A method for deleting address information of a network anchor point from a network server, comprising:

receiving, by a network server, an instruction to delete address information of a network anchor point, the address information having been previously registered to the network server; and

deleting, by the network server, the address information of the network anchor point from the network server according to the received instruction,

wherein the instruction to delete the address information is determined based on subscription data of the UE, and wherein the subscription data indicates that the UE is subscribed to a mobility capability of moving to a non-3 rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the network server comprises a home subscriber server (HSS).

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein instruction is received from a mobility management entity (MME).

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

deleting, by the network server, a relationship between the address information of the network anchor point and an access point name (APN) corresponding to the network anchor point from the network server.

13. A communication system, comprising:

a mobility management entity (MME); and

a network server communicatively connected to the MME,

wherein the MME is configured to send to the network server an instruction to delete address information of a network anchor point stored in the network server; and

wherein the network server is configured to receive the instruction from the MME and to delete the address information of the network anchor point from the network server according to the instruction,

wherein the sending of the instruction is determined based on subscription data of the UE, and wherein the subscription data indicates that the UE is subscribed to a mobility capability of moving to a non-3 rd Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) network.

14. The communication system of claim 13 , wherein the network server comprises a home subscriber server (HSS).

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

deleting, by the network server, a relationship between the address information of the network anchor point and an access point name (APN) corresponding to the network anchor point from the network server.
