Software Defined Networking (SDN) is used in IMS in order to provide a mechanism to forward (Internet Protocol) IP packets and provide a simplified solution to the complex signaling path of IMS according to directives from an SDN Controller. SDN is used in at least three particular scenarios. In the first scenario, communications are simplified using SDN directed signaling disaggregation. In the second scenario, SDN is used to direct media function chaining. In the third scenario, the system can be used as an SDN based media relay.

System and method for using software defined networking in internet protocol multimedia subsystems

According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a cloud computing system can include a load adaptation architecture framework that performs operations for orchestrating and managing one or more services that may operate within at least one of layers 4 through 7 of the Open Systems Interconnection ('OSP') communication model. The cloud computing system also can include a virtual resource layer. The virtual resource layer can include a virtual network function that provides, at least in part, a service. The cloud computing system also can include a hardware resource layer. The hardware resource layer can include a hardware resource that is controlled by a virtualization layer. The virtualization layer can cause the virtual network function to be instantiated on the hardware resource so that the virtual network function can be used to support the service.

Load adaptation architecture framework for orchestrating and managing services in a cloud computing system

A method and system for centralized control of user devices is disclosed. The method for centralized control of user devices via universal IP services registrar includes receiving a request to register a user device for a plurality of services, registering the user device for the plurality of services by creating a user settings profile for the user for each of the plurality of services, receiving data from the plurality of registered services, and transmitting received data to the user device in accordance with the user profile.

Centralized control of user devices via universal IP services registrar/hub

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for service creation and management. A processor can detect an event relating to a service, and access a service creation database to identify a recipe associated with the service. The recipe can define a resource to be used to provide the service. The processor can access an inventory to determine if the resource is available, identify a service control to control the service, instruct an infrastructure control to allocate virtual machines to host components of the service, and issue instructions to the service control. The instructions can instruct the service control to load service functions to the virtual machines.

Service creation and management

A method and apparatus for creating a custom service in a communication network are disclosed. For example, the method implemented via a processor determines that the custom service does not exist, receives one or more desired functions for the custom service, creates the custom service having the one or more desired functions and modifies one or more network elements within the communication network to perform the one or more desired functions to deploy the custom service.

The cloud computing system also can include a virtual resource layer. The virtual resource layer can include a virtual network function that provides, at least in part, a service. The cloud computing system also can include a hardware resource layer. The hardware resource layer can include a hardware resource that is controlled by a virtualization layer. The virtualization layer can cause the virtual network function to be instantiated on the hardware resource so that the virtual network function can be used to support the service.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a model of a communication network, applying first data to the model to generate an updated model, processing the updated model to establish a first control, enabling first communications in the communication network in accordance with the first control, obtaining first parametric data regarding the first communications in the communication network that are based on the first control, processing the first parametric data in accordance with the updated model to generate an updated first control, and enabling second communications in the communication network in accordance with the updated first control. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and apparatus for controlling disaggregated radio access networks

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that performs operations including receiving a request for a communication session, determining participants of the communication session, determining a location of each participant of the communication session, selecting a virtual media server from among a group of media servers according to a location that reduces a communication path among the participants for the communication session, instantiating the virtual media server at a start time of the communication session, grouping the participants of the communication session into end points, and relaying communication session data between the end points. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and apparatus for managing communication resources

A method may include a processing system having at least one processor for receiving a first machine learning model, the first machine learning model in a first format associated with a first development environment, adapting the first machine learning model to a containerized environment, validating the first machine learning model according to at least one validation criterion associated with a repository, and publishing the first machine learning model to the repository.
