Abstract: This application discloses methods for creating self-organizing networks implemented on heterogeneous mesh networks. The self-organizing networks can include a computing cloud component coupled to the heterogeneous mesh network. In the methods and computer-readable mediums disclosed herein, a processor determines if a user equipment (UE) should hand over its service from a base station to a multi-radio access technology (RAT) node, based on heuristics including one or more of: a distance traveled over a time T1, an average speed over a time T2, a destination stored in internal memory within the UE, a speed limit measurement for a nearby road, a possible direction in which the UE could travel, a signal strength measurement for a servicing base station, and a signal strength measurement for the multi-RAT node. A position profile may be used to predict a future location of the UE.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing IP access across packet data network gateways (PGWs), comprising: receiving, from a UE, at a coordinating node, an attach request; sending a request to create a first new session to a first PGW; sending a request to create a second new session to a second PGW; receiving, from the first PGW and at the coordinating node, a first request for policies for the UE; receiving, from the second PGW and at the coordinating node, a second request for policies for the UE; opening a first data tunnel from the coordinating node to the first PGW; opening a second data tunnel from the coordinating node to the second PGW without closing the first data tunnel; and opening a data tunnel between the UE and the coordinating node for providing IP access to both the first PGW and the second PGW.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for assigning a quality of service to a data packet in a communications network by mapping a Wi-Fi access layer identifier such as an SSID to a value in a datagram header, and subsequently using the datagram header to assign an appropriate data bearer for the datagram, the data bearer having a quality of service class identifier appropriate for the type of traffic expected to be sent over the particular Wi-Fi access layer.

Abstract: A method for topology hiding is disclosed, comprising: receiving, at a gateway, the gateway positioned between a core network and a radio access network, a configuration information request from a base station; analyzing, at the gateway, a topology of the radio access network, the radio access network including the base station; grouping, at the gateway, the base station into a first group based on the topology; sending, from the gateway to the base station, a grouping message to indicate that the base station be placed in the first group; and terminating connections from the core network to one or more base stations in the first group at the gateway as a back-to-back proxy, thereby hiding the topology of the radio access network from the core network.

Abstract: The use of wireless backhaul poses special challenges for in-vehicle base stations. Users that are connected to an in-vehicle base station expect continuous service, even as the in-vehicle base station passes in and out of different wireless backhaul coverage zones, such as when a train passes from a train station with good coverage to a tunnel with poor coverage. The base station thus needs seamless backhaul handover. A system that enables an in-vehicle base station to receive continuous service across different backhaul coverage zones is needed. To solve this problem, a system enabling handover is described. The system involves double-tunneling mobile device data packets in an ESP-UDP IPsec tunnel encapsulated in a GTP-U tunnel. Traffic is transmitted from a mobile device to a specially configured base station that encapsulates mobile device data packets and sends them to the network via wireless backhaul using an LTE UE modem connection.
