Abstract:
1. A system for providing mobile data service within a Fixed Wireless Data Network (FWDN), the system comprising: an enterprise network having a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), wherein the enterprise network is a part of the FWDN; an enterprise Mobile Access Controller (eMAC) communicatively coupled between the enterprise network and a Mobile Wireless Data Network (MWDN), wherein the eMAC is configured to provide IP connections to both the enterprise network and one or more mobile devices communicatively coupled to the WLAN; wherein the eMAC is further communicatively coupled, via a first IPTN, to an enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway (eMSG) resident in the MWDN; wherein the eMAC is further communicatively coupled, via a second IPTN, to an enterprise Mobile User-plane Aggregator (eMUA) resident in the MWDN, wherein the eMUA is configured to provide IP connections to the MWDN; wherein the eMAC is further configured to: receive a first control-plane data from the eMSG via the first IPTN, wherein the first control-plane data at least provides configuration and management instructions to the eMAC; establish a third IP tunnel to a first mobile device upon confirmation from the MWDN, that the first mobile device is authorized to access the eMAC; wherein the third IP tunnel carries both a second control-plane data and a user-plane data of the first mobile device; receive and separate the second control-plane data and the user-plane data from the third IP tunnel; establish a first IP tunnel across the first IPTN and bilaterally communicate with the eMSG; and transmit a third control-plane data, derived from the second control-plane data, to the eMSG, via the first IP tunnel, wherein the third control-plane data requests routing instructions for the user-plane data.
