    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a local evolved packet core (EPC) that interoperates with an eNodeB and a remote EPC. In one embodiment, a method for establishing an ad hoc local network may be disclosed, comprising: monitoring an availability of a connection to a remote core network; creating a first data connection between a first mobile device and a local core network module, thereby permitting a first mobile device to attach to a local network base station without connectivity to the remote core network; identifying, at a local core network module, reconnection to the remote core network; sending, from the local core network module to the remote core network, a service request message based on a prior message received from the first mobile device at the local core network module; creating a second data connection between the local network base station and the remote core network; and forwarding downlink data, received from the remote core network via at the second data connection, to the first mobile device via the first data connection.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing software provisioning of functionality in a wireless communications device. Software-enabling functionality may include systems for granting a license to intellectual property or other pre-embedded functionality within a device. Communications to and from the device may be used to send or receive activation messages and/or licensing messages. Network capabilities may be provisioned using activation messages sent over the network. Activation messages may be sent in-band or out-of-band, for a device connected to the Internet and/or a mobile operator core network. Licenses may be required for any functions or intellectual property present on a given device. Activation may enable logical modules of a system-on-chip (SOC), functions of a software-defined radio (SDR), baseband, or DSP core. The disclosed systems and methods could thereby provide a new, flexible paradigm, namely, “Silicon as a Service (SaaS).”
