Abstract

The method and system provides a data packet encapsulated with protocol data according to an embodiment of the invention. A data packet for communication may be associated with a TLLI and a NSAPI identifying a communications path between a BSS and a SGSN. The method and system provides a BVC associated with the BSS and the SGSN and a NSE that provides communication service to the BVC over NS-VC. The BVC, NSE and NS-VC may be associated with the TLLI and NSAPI. The encapsulated protocol data comprises UDP and IP. UDP provides UDP ports associated with NS-VC. The UDP ports identified as data designated as either real time or non-real time services. IP provides an IP address identifying the NSE providing service to the BVC. The data packet encapsulated with UDP and IP provides for more efficient, flexible and reliable communications between a BSS and a SGSN.
