Abstract
An Evolved Packet Core network comprises a converged media packet gateway control element including a GTP-C function of SGW, PGW, and P-CSCF and ATCF functions. The network further comprises at least one converged media packet gateway bearer element disposed remotely from the converged media packet gateway control element, in communication and under the management of the converged media packet gateway control element. The at least one converged media packet gateway bearer element includes SGW and PGW bearer plane terminating S1-U, and ATGW and IMS-AGW NAT functions.
