Patent ID: 8661109

Claim:
A method for operating a network, especially an IP (Internet Protocol) network, wherein the network is comprising a local network and an operator network, wherein the local network is in connection with the operator network via a gateway and wherein a UE (User Equipment) of the local network is performing a session setup by communicating with a functional entity of the operator network in order to communicate with a UE-related and/or session-related application or in order to start a UE-related and/or session-related application, wherein the application is communicating with a local network controller, wherein the local network controller is assigned to the local network and is receiving a UE-related and/or session-related parameter (LID—Local Identifier) from the application for locating a UE and/or a specific session within the local network based on the received parameter, wherein the parameter will be looped from the local network through an operator network domain where the parameter has no significance back to the local network via the same or a different network path, and wherein the application is split into a RCS (Resource Control System) for controlling and/or reserving network resource required for the session within the network and the function handling the application logic requested be the UE.
