MULTIPLE SCTP ASSOCIATIONS PER S1AP CONNECTION AND MOVING S1AP SIGNALING CONNECTION BETWEEN SCTP ASSOCIATIONS

Abstract:

Certain embodiments disclose systems, methods, and apparatus for establishing and using multiple Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) associations. An example method includes a network node establishing a first SCTP association and a second SCTP association for an application protocol connection with a core network node. The network node moves a user equipment (UE) associated signaling stream from the first SCTP association to the second SCTP association.
