Abstract: A system includes a wireless access network, a gateway that controls communications between the wireless access network and a packet data network, and a policy-charging-and-rule-function (PCRF). The PCRF includes a routing agent in communication with the gateway and a group of multi-media processing engines (MPEs) that are associated with the routing agent. The routing agent receives from the gateway a request to establish a session for a piece of user equipment, and selects one of the MPEs to handle the session based on an IMSI of the piece of user equipment. The routing agent maintains a table indexed by IP address, and makes an entry therein that points to the selected MPE.

Abstract: A first device associated with an evolved packet core network receives a first update request from a second device associated with the evolved packet core network. The first update request is associated with a communication session previously provided between the first device and the second device, and the first update request is generated based on a voice/video request. The first device generates an update answer in response to the first update request, where the update answer includes a code requesting that the communication session be restored between the first device and the second device. The first device receives, based on the code, a second update request from the second device, where the second update request includes session information associated with the communication session. The first device restores, based on the session information, the communication session between the first device and the second device to create a restored communication session.

Abstract: Systems and methods for APN-based DNS query resolution for wireless data networks are disclosed. Some implementations include receiving a domain name system (DNS) query for a domain name from a device having a source IP address, the DNS query being associated with an access point name, determining whether the source IP address is within a predetermined IP address range, upon determining the source IP address is within the predetermined IP address range, updating the DNS query to include an updated domain name unique to the predetermined IP address range, forwarding the updated DNS query to a DNS server for resolution, receiving an IP address corresponding to the updated DNS query from the DNS server, the IP address being different from an IP address associated with the DNS query, and providing the device with the IP address corresponding to the updated DNS query.

Abstract: At a web browser application installed on a device a first Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is received. The web browser application determines a first Access Point Name (APN) network identifier associated with the first URL and establishes a first data connection based on the first APN network identifier between the device and a network. At the web browser application installed on the device a second URL is received. The web browser application determines a second Access Point Name (APN) network identifier associated with the second URL and establishes a second data connection based on the second APN network identifier between the device and a network.

Abstract: A policy and charging rules function node of a network may receive from the network an indication of an element of user equipment connecting to the network, query a subscription profile repository to receive a subscriber profile associated with the user equipment, the subscriber profile including indicators used in the selection of subscriber policies associated with the subscriber, and create a spending limit session based on the subscriber profile without waiting to receive a request from the user equipment for data services. The node may receive the request for data services from the element of user equipment, identify the spending limit session specifically corresponding to the user equipment, and respond to the request according to spending limit rules of the spending limit session associated with the element of user equipment. The node may also respond to the request according to default spending limit rules without waiting for creation of the spending limit session.
