Prototyping mobile broadband applications with the open Evolved Packet Core

With the evolution towards mass wireless broadband communication, a novel set of applications tailored for this environment will be developed that are able to communicate their requirements towards core networks and foremost to adopt to a change in access network conditions of users. This paper will present their characteristics and how they can be developed and tested with the 3GPP Evolved Packet Core. Furthermore, the paper will outline the developed demonstrations with the help of Fraunhofer FOKUS new OpenEPC toolkit.
