Abstract
A mobile communications network has separation between a user plane (UP) and a control plane (CP). The network includes plural entities, including plural user plane entities (UPEs), which form the user plane and plural mobility management entities (MMEs), which form the control plane. At least one of the entities is configured to transmit advertisement information. The advertisement information includes status information and configuration information of the at least one entity. The network also includes a node or unit configured to use both the advertisement information and transport information transported on the user plane to select a user plane entity for attachment to a wireless station serviced by the network.
