A method for retrieving data from a telecommunications network includes receiving a request at a view for the subscriber data from a telecommunications application, where the subscriber data resides on multiple data sources. The method includes sending the request to each data source coupled to the view and receiving the subscriber data from the data sources coupled to the view. The method further includes merging the subscriber data into a single data record and returning the merged data record to the telecommunications application.

Subscriber data federation in a telecommunications network

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods of designing and implementing service policies in a telecommunications network. The policy management system includes interfaces operable to receive different subscriber information, an execution framework which includes policies which can be dynamically customized using one or more custom execution blocks, wherein the policies can receive the subscriber information through the interfaces and execute each policy based on the subscriber information. The method enables a network operator to dynamically update policies using customizable execution blocks and thereby change services associated with a particular policy as well as change the input factors (subscriber location, profile, etc.) available to that policy.

Execution framework for policy management

The present disclosure provides for an optimization framework that optimizes the amount of information persisted in a policy session using rule introspection. In one embodiment, the optimization framework receives a message, where the message includes an attribute, and the attribute includes an attribute name and an attribute value. The optimization framework consults a mapping table to determine persistence behavior associated with the attribute name. The optimization framework persists the attribute in a rule field cache, according to the persistence behavior. In one embodiment, the persistence behavior includes a persistence type, a persistence mode, and/or custom persistence logic, which specify how the attribute should be persisted. In one embodiment, the optimization framework also provides for performing rule introspection and rule evaluation of decision rules.

Optimization framework for in-memory storage of policy session data

In accordance with various embodiments, systems and methods of mapping an event related to a subscriber to an associated subscriber profile associated with a global unique identifier (GUID) associated with the specific subscriber, regardless of the particular subscriber identifier associated with the event. The system includes a routing module which is operable to resolve the GUID from a variety of identifiers and identifier types which might be associated with an event. The method can receive a subscriber identifier associated with an event, resolve the subscriber identifier to a global unique identifier (GUID), and route the event to a single actor for processing in accordance with the subscriber's profile and thereby provide the appropriate services and quality of service.
