摘要：An integrated network control (INC) arrangement (300), for use in a UMTSwireless network, comprising an RNC element (250B) for management and control ofbasestations (250A); an SGSN element (270A) for session control and mobility

management; and a GGSN element (270B) for external IP communication, the RNC, SGSNand GGSN elements being integrated together, and the GGSN means comprising only aLayer-2 Tunnelling Protocol Access Concentrator (LAC) element. This allows thearrangement to be optimised for Internet access and provides a number of advantages,resulting the ability for cost-effective network deployment to be achieved with multipleINC's, where each INC SGSN is responsible for only one INC RNC and each INC RNCcontrols a relatively small number of Node B's. This permits networks to be deployedincrementally without having to initially deploy infrastructure scaled to meet therequirements of a maximum sized network.
