“…This can be split into universal subscriber authentication (uAUT) and universal data path management (uDPM). uAUT provides a single functional block with a single global user data repository [12]. At network level, uAUT provides access to a common subscriber authentication platform regardless of the access network (e.g.…”

Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) is a very trendy concept as it promises integration of the previously separated fixed access network and the mobile network. From this novel approach telecommunication operators expect significant cost savings and performance improvements. FMC can be separated into structural convergence (regarding the infrastructure) and functional convergence (regarding the necessary functionalities required in fixed and mobile networks). The latter one goes hand-in-hand with Network Function Virtualization (NFV), where important network functions are provided by a server inside of the next generation point-of-presence (NG-POP). In this article implications on the system architecture as well as structural and functional convergence topics will be discussed.

“…In contrast to the connection control of today, when the UE connects to one data path determined by rules set locally, a more advanced scheme must take more into account. That means the connection control should be transferred to the uDPM and be used to maximize the utilization of the available infrastructure [12]. From Fig.…”
