Abstract
Provided are a radio access network, a distributed radio network controlling structure and a network element, each providing mobile communications services, and each having controlling elements including at least one control plane server for providing control plane functions and at least one user plane server for providing user plane functions, and a network having a mapping function for interfacing the radio control elements with a core network. Using this solution, only the network element containing a mapping function interfaces with the core network.
