Abstract
A wireless network for mobile communications has a connectionless framework using native internet protocol (IP). In this connectionless framework, packet routing may be based on user endpoint (UE) physical IP address, which is associated with the prefix of an associated access node (e.g. eNB). In addition to using the connectionless-IP framework for the traffic flow carried by one access point (e.g. eNB) at a time, advanced mobile call processing features, such as carrier aggregation and dual connectivity, are enhanced to leverage the packet-oriented connectionless radio access network and wireless core network architecture by using the SDN architecture and a wireless network specific software-defined network controller.
