    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a local evolved packet core (EPC) that interoperates with an eNodeB and a remote EPC. if it is determined that it is possible or likely that the eNodeBs may lose the connection to the remote EPC, or if a connection has been lost, the local EPC may serve as a transparent proxy between the eNodeBs and the remote EPC, identify active sessions and transparently proxy those sessions, destroy or de-allocate unneeded sessions or bearers, and download and synchronize application data and authentication credentials, such as HSS or AAA data, to provide authentication to mobile devices once offline. The use of the local EPC and/or the remote EPC may be toggled, or switched, preemptively or reactively, based on various network conditions. The remote EPC may be disconnected proactively when the local EPC determines that there is no connectivity.

    Abstract: In this invention we disclose methods for incorporating a security gateway within a wireless mesh network. In one embodiment, the wireless mesh network is a heterogeneous mesh network. In one embodiment, a gateway node, which is part of the wireless mesh network, requests a connection to the core network through a security gateway. The security gateway responds by creating an IPSec tunnel and a GRE tunnel within the IPSec tunnel from itself to the gateway node. Once the gateway node is communicatively coupled to the security gateway via secure tunneling, the gateway node sends a mesh routing protocol to the security gateway.

    Abstract: An approach is disclosed for synchronization of frequency and/or phase in a full duplex network. The method may comprise sending a timing beacon over a single full duplex radio channel from a timing master to a timing slave; receiving the timing beacon over the single full duplex radio channel at the timing slave; sending a retransmitted beacon over the single full duplex radio channel from the timing slave to the timing master; and sending a delta of the timing beacon and the retransmitted beacon from the timing master to the timing slave. The beacon may contain a timestamp. The retransmitted beacon may include a delay calculation. A hybrid analog/digital self-interference cancellation system may be used at the timing master or the timing slave. The method may also include simultaneously sending and receiving the synchronization information over the single full duplex radio channel.
