Abstract

A node on a core network, in accordance with a connection state of a terminal, releases a transmission path resource which is made unnecessary due to LIPA (Local IP access) or SIPTO (Selected IP traffic offload) connection configuration.

Claims (18)

1. A method for a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

releasing, by an MME (Mobility Management Entity), bearers in an SGW (Serving Gateway) by sending a request to the SGW when SIPTO (Selected IP Traffic Offload) is established; and

sending, by the SGW, a response to the MME.

2. A mobile communication system, the system comprising:

an MME (Mobility Management Entity); and

an SGW (Serving Gateway),

wherein the MME releases bearers in the SGW by sending a request to the SGW when SIPTO (Selected IP Traffic Offload) is established, and

wherein the SGW sends a response to the MME.

3. A mobility management node used in a mobile communication system, the node comprising:

a unit that sends a request to an SGW (Serving Gateway) for releasing bearers in the SGW when SIPTO (Selected IP Traffic Offload) is established; and

a unit that receives a response from the SGW.

4. The mobility management node according to claim 3 ,

wherein the mobility management node comprises an MME (Mobility Management Entity).

5. A method for a mobility management node used in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

sending a request to an SGW (Serving Gateway) to release bearers in the SGW when SIPTO (Selected IP Traffic Offload) is established; and

receiving a response from the SGW.

6. The method according to claim 5 ,
