Abstract:
We envision a new mobile architecture for the future Evolved Packet
Core (EPC). The new architecture is designed to support the
virtualization scheme called NFV (Network Function Virtualization).
In our architecture, the user plane of EPC is decoupled from the
control-plane and uses routing information to forward packets of
mobile nodes. Although the EPC control plane will run on hypervisor,
our proposal does not modify the signaling of the EPC control plane.
The benefits of our architecture are 1) scalability, 2) flexibility
and 3) Manageability. How to run the EPC control plane on NFV is out
of our focus in this document.
