Abstract:
Systems and methods relating to a cellular communications system having an architecture in which Serving Gateway (SGW) user plane functionality is separated from SGW control plane functionality are disclosed. In some embodiments, a cellular communications system having an architecture in which SGW user plane functionality is separated from SGW control plane functionality comprises a Serving Gateway Control plane entity (SGW-C) partitioned into a plurality of virtual SGW-Cs that correspond to a respective plurality of SGW User Plane (SGW-UP) service areas. The cellular communications system further comprises a plurality of SGW-UP pools each comprising one or more SGW User entities (SGW-Us), wherein each SGW-UP pool serves a respective one of the plurality of SGW-UP service areas. In this manner, the coordination problem between Tracking Areas (TAs) and the SGW-UP service areas is avoided.

Claim (Index 3):
The cellular communications system of  claim 1  further comprising a MME operable to:\n receive an attach request or tracking area update request from a User Equipment device, UE, in a tracking area; \n obtain an indication of one of the plurality of virtual SGW-Cs that serves the tracking area; and \n communicate with the SGW C to create a session between the UE and the one of the plurality of virtual SGW-Cs that serves the tracking area.
