Satcom access in the Evolved Packet Core
conference paper
Satellite communications (Satcom) networks are increasingly integrating with terrestrial communications networks, namely Next Generation Networks (NGN). In the area of NGN the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) is a new network architecture that can support multiple access technologies. When Satcom is considered as another access technology, EPC can provide the multiple access features and to integrate Satcom and NGN services. The current paper outlines the opportunities for NGN and Satcom integration, focusing on the mobility issues between EPC and DVB-RCS standards (representing the Satcom network) under a common Mobile IP based EPC core network.
