20130238816 | Methods and Arrangements For Enabling Data Transmission Between a Mobile Device and a Static Destination Address - The embodiments of the present invention provide a solution for simplifying data transmission between a mobile device and a static destination address. This is achieved by introducing a new network node referred to as a VPC connector. The VPC connector is associated with a gateway of the operator network such as a GGSN. The VPC connector has access to a static first mapping between a subscriber identity associated with the mobile device and a static destination address to which the data from the mobile device should be sent. In order for the gateway to be able to route data from the mobile device to the correct static destination address, the gateway sends a dynamic second mapping between a temporary IP address of the mobile device and the subscriber identity associated with the mobile device to the network node referred to as the VPC connector. When the GGSN receives data from the temporary IP address of the mobile device, the GGSN requests information of the VPC address to which the GGSN should route that data. Since, the VPC connector can identify from which IP address the data is received, the VPC connector can then retrieve the VPC address by using the static first mapping and the dynamic second mapping. | 09-12-2013 |
