Abstract
This paper discusses a shift of functionality in the 3GPP Evolved Packet Core (EPC) from distributed data plane gateways (GW) to centralized control nodes. In particular in deployments with largely distributed GWs cost savings for management of the network can be expected. As a special use case that takes advantage of the proposed architecture a GW relocation scheme is introduced that allows smooth migration of users from one GW to another.
