Abstract  Abstract

In a wireless communication network, a serving gateway support node controls connections between user equipment nodes and a packet-based network, passing through at least one serving gateway and at least one packet gateway. The serving gateway support node detects a failure in communication to the first serving gateway. The serving gateway support node initiates relocation of the existing connections in response to the detected failure so that the existing connections through the first serving gateway instead pass through the second serving gateway. The serving gateway support node detects the recovery of the communication to the first serving gateway and, in response, stops the relocation of at least some of the existing connections that have not yet been relocated to the second serving gateway. Related methods, serving gateways, and packet gateways are also disclosed.
