Summary

Local data switching is a capability that enables the routing and processing of user data traffic locally for users accessing the network. Fixed, mobile and satellite convergence (FMSC) is the capability that provides services and applications to end users regardless of the fixed, mobile, or satellite access technologies being used. This Recommendation specifies the requirements, architecture, information flows, and security considerations of local data switching for FMSC, in the context of IMT-2020 networks and beyond.
