摘要: Disclosed is a system and methods for creating and maintaining a virtual subnetwork of telecommunication base stations within a wider telecommunication network. In an LTE-based example, the subnetwork includes a connection aggregator that is coupled between the plurality of eNodeBs internal to the subnetwork and one or more MMEs in the outer network. The connection aggregator intercepts all control plane messages between the MMEs and the internal eNodeBs, remaps eNodeB identifiers, and transmits repackaged messages so that the outer network sees the entire subnetwork as a single “giant” eNodeB. The disclosed system and methods enables the operator of the virtual subnetwork to add and shut down eNodeBs as demand for connectivity fluctuates, and to do so such that all changes are unseen by the outer network.

摘要: Disclosed is a virtual base station capable of hosting multiple network operators and/or private networks in a single compute environment. The virtual base station includes a plurality of virtual baseband processors configured to communicate with the plurality of mobile network operators, a supervisor module, a fronthaul network interface configured to be coupled to one or more remote units, and a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) coordinator module coupled to the supervisor module and the one or more virtual baseband processors. The base station may have on or more CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Daemons to act as a proxy for obtaining grants to CBRS channels and allocating the CBRS channels to the mobile network operators.

摘要: A method for pooling resources in a mobile network includes allocating baseband resources between a plurality of virtual baseband engines supporting the mobile network, determining a change in a usage of the mobile network, and re-allocating, in response to the change in the usage of the mobile network, the baseband resources between the plurality of virtual baseband engines.

摘要: Systems, methods, and computer readable media are directed to pooling resources in a mobile network. The method includes allocating baseband resources between a plurality of virtual baseband engines supporting the mobile network. The method includes determining a change in a usage of the mobile network. Additionally, the method includes re-allocating, in response to the change in the usage of the mobile network, the baseband resources between the plurality of virtual baseband engines. Systems, methods, and computer readable media are also directed to providing services at a location that includes a mobile network.
