Abstract:
An SDN architecture, for a cellular communications system, is described herein that includes a Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning framework to provision and manage traffic flows in the cellular communications system. The described architecture separates the control plane and the user plane for the transport of the user plane traffic. Network entities in the SDN architecture, such as a network controller, can detect and react to changes in network state (e.g., load conditions) to route or reroute traffic flows in the network. QoS and routing parameters may be determined for the network traffic on a per-flow basis, even when multiple flows are associated with a single service request.

Claim (Index 40):
An apparatus for a Radio Access Network (RAN) node for a cellular communication network, the RAN node comprising:\n a plurality of user plane interfaces to connect to a corresponding plurality of data gateways of the cellular communication network; a control plane interface to connect to a network controller of the cellular communication network; and processing circuitry to:\n cause forwarding of a service request, for data services, from a mobile device to a network controller, via the control plane interface; \n process, in response to the service request:\n flow profiles corresponding to a plurality of traffic flows that are used to fulfill the service request, each of the flow profiles including a flow identifier, and \n routing policies that include routing rules relating to the plurality of traffic flows, the routing rules including, for each of the plurality of traffic flows, an indication of a corresponding source data gateway, of the plurality of data gateways; and \n \n cause forwarding, of received packets corresponding to the plurality of traffic flows, towards the source gateway indicated by the routing rules for each of the plurality of the traffic flows.
