The present invention provides a system for real-time communication signaling in a telecommunication network. The system adapts complex signaling on the server-side into simple operations towards the Web. In an embodiment the system includes a server-side web signaling engine and a client-side communication controller. The client-side communication controller provides native operating system application programming interfaces (API) and JavaScript APIs to encapsulate the signaling layer. The web signaling engine includes a controller which terminates HTTP communications with the client-side, parses, and normalizes the HTTP communications into an internal protocol suitable for communication with telecommunications network systems. The gateway system thereby provides a dedicated signaling channel for applications on the client to interact with telecommunications network services.

An integrated software and hardware system is described that functions as a communications service broker in a telecommunications (telecom) network environment. The system can be used to perform mediation and orchestration of services in the telecom network. The integrated system provides the ability of fully automated configuration and provisioning of a compute blade module based on its physical location (in a chassis enclosure). In accordance with an embodiment, each blade in the chassis is assigned either a worker or bootstrap role. The worker blades perform the core processing of the service broker functionality and the bootstrap blades are used to provide the bootstrapping and administration of the worker blades.

Systems and methods are described for integrating a gateway in a telecom network environment with charging and payment functionality. The gateway is provided with three points of integration with charging and billing servers. These three points include a payment service, a charging data record listener and a credit control interceptor. The payment service provides an interface for client applications that reside outside of the telecom network to invoke a charging request, to translate the charging request and to relay it to the billing server. The charging data record listener listens for charging data records generated within the gateway and issues offline charging requests to the billing server upon detecting that a particular charging data record has been generated. The credit control interceptor intercepts requests in the communication traffic flowing through the gateway and initiates online charging requests to the billing server upon intercepting said requests.

An integrated software and hardware system is described that implements a unified lifecycle for the hardware and the software components therein. In the context of adding, removing or moving a hardware appliance, this allows the system to create, coordinate and manage a single lifecycle for each appliance together with its software processes, that is being moved or changed. The system includes a chassis with multiple enclosures for computing blades. Each blade in the chassis is assigned either a worker or bootstrap role. The worker blades perform the core processing of the service broker functionality and the bootstrap blades are used to provide the bootstrapping and administration of the worker blades. In particular, the administration features include an administration console that is provided by the bootstrap blade, which provides hardware management and process management.

A subscriber network can provide services. External applications can use the services on the subscriber network. A service access gateway can control application access to services of the subscriber network. The service access gateway can filter requests from an external application to access services on the subscriber network based on the customer for which the external application is accessing the service.

A production upgrade is described for a multiprotocol gateway. This upgrade allows various modules and components within the gateway to be upgraded independently without impacting traffic flow in the gateway. The upgrade can be performed by deploying a new version of the module alongside an older version of the same module. New client requests can then be directed to the new version, while requests requiring the older module can be continued to be serviced by the prior version. A distinction is made between stateless and stateful conversation during the upgrade of various components. For stateful conversations, request traffic can be versioned according to the session to which each request belongs. A highly available state storage scheme allows new versions of the module to consume state information used by the older versions. For stateless conversations, all new requests can be immediately routed to the new version of the module.

Methods and systems are described for generating event data records by using aspects. Cross cutting concerns are applied in order to generate the EDRs. In various embodiments, the EDRs are generated within a gateway or another type of software application that processes various communications. In processing data, the gateway can generate data records, which capture information regarding traffic flow within the gateway. The event data records are generated at various points in the gateway by using an aspect to weave code at compile time. Once generated, the EDRs can be picked up by an external listener and filtered based on various criteria, such as Java type-based filtering and classification. The listener can use predefined filtering coming from the gateway or customize the filtering according to specific needs. The EDRs can also be classified by using a configuration file, which can be modified without altering any programming code within the gateway.

A system for providing an application server for telecom-based applications can include an application server that includes an event broker distributed across a cluster. The event broker can provide a distributed publish-subscribe mechanism that is a generic interface to all server nodes in the cluster. The event broker filters events with event attributes by way of matching criteria. Additionally, the event broker is used to dispatch events to specific listeners based on certain criteria.
