A system and method for creating a custom-developed service by a customer in a service directory of a network service provider are provided. The data defining the custom-developed service received by the network service provider may be tested, corrected, and verified. The service directory may be established in the provider's network to store the data associated with the custom-developed service. Once the custom-developed service is established and operational, the customer or its subscribers may be billed based on their use of the service.

A mobile station has a transmitter, a first receiver, and a second receiver, each of which can be configured to use a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology. The mobile station uses the transmitter and the first receiver to engage in a communication session via a serving base station that uses the first radio access technology. When a degradation in quality of the communication session is detected, the mobile station evaluates a target base station by transmitting a trial communication to the serving base station and receiving, through the second receiver, a trial response from a target base station. The target base station uses the second radio access technology. If the trial response is acceptable, the mobile station requests a handover of the communication session to the target base station. The mobile station may select the target base station from a multi-technology neighbor list.

A method and computer-readable medium for dynamically adjusting a multimedia data resolution in a wireless environment is provided. The method includes: determining the access profile of the mobile station; monitoring transmission conditions in the wireless system; transmitting the multimedia data and control signaling to the mobile station with a highest resolution based upon the transmission conditions, wherein the control signaling determines an amount of the multimedia data accessible to the mobile station based upon the access profile of the mobile station; and decreasing a resolution of the multimedia data being transmitted to the mobile station, if the transmission conditions become unacceptable for transmitting the multimedia data at the highest resolution. If the transmission conditions become acceptable for transmitting the multimedia data at a higher resolution, the resolution of the multimedia data being transmitted to the mobile station is increased to the highest possible resolution based upon the transmission conditions.

A method, system and software to dynamically allocate bandwidth on an application flow basis in a non-Internet-Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (non-IMS) environment is described. The method includes: receiving a request to create an application flow for an Internet Protocol (IP) filter with desired Quality of Service (QoS) properties; searching for an access bearer that is comparable to the desired QoS properties; when a comparable access bearer is not found, creating the access bearer adapted to support the IP filter and the desired QoS properties; and associating the application flow with the access bearer. According to various embodiments, a method to add a new application flow from a flow bandwidth manager to a Policy Control and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) is also described The method can include: searching for an access bearer that supports an IP filter and desired QoS properties; when there is an existing access bearer, mapping the new application flow to the access bearer and modifying the properties of the existing access bearer to support the new application flow. and creating a new access bearer when there is no existing access bearer.

Managing multiple application flows over an access bearer in a quality of service policy environment

A private wireless network interface provides wireless signaling and protocols of a wireless macro network to allow a consumer to operate over a private wireless network. The private wireless network interface receives wireless signals compatible with a wireless macro network and transmits the signals over a broadband connection to a wireless service provider's wireless macro network. The private wireless network interface allows the use of mobile stations which are compatible with a wireless macro network to operate in a residence and have the signals backhauled over the residence's broadband connection. The private wireless network interface can provide wireless macro network coverage in any location with some type of coupling to the Internet.

System and method for a wireless meta service

Systems and methods for provisioning and synchronizing subscriber data are provided. Subscriber data is provisioned in two home location registers, each located in a different wireless network. When the subscriber registers in one of the wireless networks, the subscriber data is obtained from the local home location register. One of the two home location registers is designated as the owning home location register. Updates of subscriber data are performed with the owning home location register, which then updates the other home location register.

A data transfer system receives a first service flow, a second service flow, and a third service flow that comprise a data session for a user device. The data transfer system transfers the first service flow to a scheduler using a first data rate limit and transfers the second service flow to the scheduler using a second data rate limit. The data transfer system also transfers the third service flow to the scheduler. The scheduler schedules transfers of the first service flow and the second service flow at a higher priority than transfers of the third service flow. The data transfer system transfers the first service flow, the second service flow, and the third service based on the prioritized schedule and using a third data rate limit. Thus, the first and second service flows receive a limited amount of preferential bandwidth, and the third service flow obtains unused bandwidth from the first and second service flows, subject to the third data rate limit.

Data rate management in a communication network

Methods and systems are provided for automatic generation of neighbor lists in a wireless network. A first message is received from an overlapped base station. The overlapped base station has a first coverage area, and the first message comprises a location of the overlapped base station. Responsive to receiving the first message, a set of overlapping base stations is identified based at least in part on the location of the overlapped base station. Each overlapping base station has (i) a coverage area that overlaps the first coverage area and (ii) a neighbor list that includes a neighbor set of one or more neighboring base stations of that overlapping base station. A first neighbor list is generated and sent to the overlapped base station. The first neighbor list comprises of the union of the set of overlapping base stations and the neighbor set of each overlapping base station.
