A method of providing a mobile application service on a user equipment based on composing a plurality of services supported by service platforms executing in a backend of a communication network. The method comprises receiving a request for a content service from a mobile application executing on a user equipment (UE) by a mobile application framework (MAF) and verifying the request for the content service by the MAF through a communication service provider platform, wherein the communication service provider platform completes verification in part by invoking a service of the MAF. The method further comprises completing a payment transaction for the content service by the MAF through messaging a payment platform, wherein the payment platform iteratively invokes services of the MAF and ordering the content service delivery by the MAF through messaging a content provider platform, wherein the content provider platform iteratively invokes services of the MAF.

Service composition in a mobile communication device application framework

A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor, a non-transitory memory, a mobile application installed in the memory, and a mobile application framework (MAF) client installed in the memory. When executed by the processor, the MAF client receives a request to access services of a MAF from the mobile application, retrieves a digital certificate associated with the mobile application, sends an application validation request comprising the certificate and an application identity to a MAF server, receives an application validation token from the MAF server, and provides the application validation token to the mobile application, whereby the mobile application is granted access to a first security tier of MAF services.

Security tiering in a mobile communication device application framework

A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor, a memory, a radio transceiver, and a mobile application framework client stored in the memory. When executed by the processor the client receives a request for a communication service via an API, builds a service request message comprising an application identity and an identity of the requested service, transmits the service request message via the radio transceiver directed through a first communication channel defined by a first access point node (APN) specified by the client to a server, receives a first service response message comprising a second APN from the server, transmits the service request message via the radio transceiver directed through a second communication channel defined by the second APN to the server, and receives a second service response message from the second communication channel defined by the second APN from the server.
