An UMA network controller is dedicated for an UMA mobile network including a CS core network and a PS core network with a SGSN. The UMA network controller includes a security gateway and a control means coupled to one another. The security gateway is arranged i) to ensure security procedures between mobile stations and the UMA world, ii) to forward messages relative to the control plane for the packet switched core network between mobile stations and the control means, and iii) to forward messages relative to the user plane for the packet switched core network between mobile stations and the a serving GPRS support node. The control means is intercalated between the security gateway and the serving GPRS support node and arranged for handling the control plane for the packet switched core network.

A method and system for configuring a wireless router and a wireless communications network includes establishing connectivity between a wireless router and at least one wireline router. Connectivity between the wireless router and a plurality of neighboring wireless routers is established through the wireline router. The wireless router is configured based on information exchanged with the neighboring wireless routers through the wireline router.

The present disclosure includes a method and system for authentication interworking. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, from a communication device, a request for services from a core network. The communication device is foreign to the core network. Authentication internetworking is provided to the foreign device to enable access to services provided by the core network.

Authentication interworking

The present disclosure includes a method and system for providing mobile core services independent of a mobile core device. In some embodiments, a method includes presenting a network element as a Base Station Controller to a first Mobile Switching Center (MSC) to provide mobile core services to a device foreign to the mobile core network. The network element is presented as a different MSC to the first MSC for providing an authentication vector used to confirm the foreign device as a mobile communication device.

Providing mobile core services independent of a mobile device

A method and system for sharing over-allocated bandwidth between different classes of service in a wireless network. Traffic is transmitted for a first service class in excess of bandwidth allocated to the first service class using unused bandwidth allocated to a second class. After transmitting traffic for the first service class in excess of bandwidth allocated to the first service class using unused bandwidth allocated to a second class, traffic for a third service class is transmitted in unused bandwidth remaining in the second service class.

A method and system for providing services for wireless data calls includes monitoring a wireless data call for a predefined event associated with a service for the wireless data call. The service is initiated for the wireless data call in response to detecting the predefined event for the data call. The predefined event may comprise a uniform resource locator (URL) match or change, excess use of transmission or time resources, a location change of a mobile device for the wireless data call, a network event, or a combination of any or all suitable events.

A method and system for managing transmission resources in a wireless communications network includes receiving a plurality of packets and determining a time duration for transmission of each packet. A power level for transmission of each packet over the time duration is further determined. Based on the time duration and the power level determined for each packet, a wireless resource impact is determined for each packet. Transmission resources are allocated to each packet based on the wireless resource impact determined for each packet.

A wireless communications network includes a wireless-specific router topology layer that connects cellular sites to a wireline topology. The wireless-specific router topology provides a distributed architecture in which call processing including call setup, resource preservation, air bandwidth allocation, switching, soft handoff, and micromobility is performed at the cell level. The wireless routers are technology independent to support various cellular technologies. The wireless router may include a first interface operable to communicate wireless packets for a call with a remote device and a second interface operable to communicate wireline packets for the call with the wireline network. A traffic controller is coupled to the first and second interfaces and operable to convert traffic between the wireless and wireline packets and to route packets to a destination mobile or wireline device. A selection and distribution unit is operable to select and distribute traffic to support soft handoff for calls in the wireless communications network.

A method and system for brokering bandwidth in a wireless communications network includes receiving a request for a wireless service at a geographic region. An availability of the wireless service is determined at the geographic region. A response to the request is generated based on the availability of the wireless service. The response includes one or more terms for the wireless service.

A method and system for queuing traffic in a wireless network includes receiving a stream of packets for transmission in the wireless network. Each packet includes a flow identifier and is assigned to one of the plurality of virtual groups based on the flow identifier. The virtual groups include discrete transmission resources. Each packet is queued in an assigned virtual group for transmission in the wireless network.

A method and system for managing transmission resources in a wireless communications network includes receiving a packet and determining a time duration for transmission of the packet. A power level for transmission of the packet over the time duration is further determined. Based on the time duration and the power level, a wireless resource impact is determined for the packet. Transmission resources are allocated based on the wireless resource impact.
