Abstract:
A broadband network gateway (BNG) in a wireline network. The BNG includes an interworking function in a control plane (IF-CP), the IF-CP configured to use a control plane interface (N1′/N2′) between the BNG in the wireline network and a fifth generation (5G) core in a 5G network to couple a control plane of the BNG to a control plane of the 5G core; an interworking function in a user plane (IF-UP), the IF-UP configured to use a user plane interface (N3′) between the BNG in the wireline network and the 5G core in the 5G network to couple a user plane of the BNG to a user plane of the 5G core; and a transmitter configured to transmit data packets toward the 5G core after the user plane of the BNG and the user plane of the 5G core have been coupled.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of facilitating communications between a wireline network and a fifth generation (5G) network, comprising:\n transmitting, by an interworking function in a control plane (IF-CP) of a broadband network gateway (BNG), a registration request to a 5G core in the 5G network, the registration request carrying a temporary identifier (ID) with location information corresponding to a residential gateway (RG) in the wireline network; exchanging, by the IF-CP, authentication messages with the 5G core to authenticate the RG; exchanging, by the IF-CP, registration messages with the 5G core to complete registration; transmitting, by the IF-CP, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request to the 5G core, the PDU session establishment request carrying an identifier of the RG; receiving, from the 5G core, a PDU session acknowledgement (ACK) and establishing a session, the PDU session ACK carrying a tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID) of a user plane function (UPF) in the 5G core; providing, by the IF-CP, the TEID of the UPF in the 5G core to an interworking function in a user plane (IF-UP) of the BNG such that the IF-UP of the BNG is able to establish a tunnel based on the session; encapsulating a data packet with a tunnel header including the TEID of the UPF in the 5G core; and transmitting a data packet over the tunnel to the 5G core.
