    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for emulating mobile authentication methods to establish authenticated connectivity between a mobile service provider gateway and a wireless device attached to an alternate access network. For example, a system operating according to the described techniques includes a mobile service provider network, an alternate access network having an access gateway, and an authentication server of the mobile service provider network that receives a network access request. A subscriber database responds to the network access request with virtual mobility information, wherein the network access request does not include an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), and wherein the virtual mobility information comprises a virtual IMSI. The access gateway uses the virtual mobility information to signal a mobile network gateway of the mobile service provider network to establish a service session for the wireless device over the alternate access network that is anchored by the mobile network gateway.

    Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to techniques for offloading mobile data traffic from a mobile core network to a broadband network. For example, as described herein, a breakout gateway forwards a service request from a mobile device and addressed to a service node. The service node designates an access point name (APN) for offload such that data traffic associated with service requests specifying the designated APN is to be offloaded to an offload network. The service node receives the service requests from the breakout gateway and, if the service request specifies the designated APN, the service node sends a request to the breakout gateway. The breakout gateway receives the request and assigns a routable PDP address to the mobile device. An offload module on the breakout gateway redirects mobile data traffic to the offload network when the source PDP address of the traffic is the previously assigned PDP address.

    Abstract translation: 通常,本发明涉及将移动数据业务从移动核心网卸载到宽带网络的技术。 例如,如本文所述,分组网关从移动设备转发服务请求并寻址到服务节点。 服务节点指定用于卸载的接入点名称(APN),使得与指定指定APN的服务请求相关联的数据流量将被卸载到卸载网络。 服务节点接收来自分组网关的服务请求,如果服务请求指定了指定的APN,则服务节点向中断网关发送请求。 分组网关接收请求,并向移动设备分配可路由的PDP地址。 当流量的源PDP地址是先前分配的PDP地址时,分支网关上的卸载模块将移动数据流量重定向到卸载网络。
