    摘要: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for a Self Organizing Network (SON) Radio Access Technology (RAT) selection for User Equipment (UE) in a virtualized Radio Access Network (RAN) environment. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: establishing, by the UE, a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) and at least one Data Radio Bearer (DRB) with a Virtual node (Vnode); determining, by the SON, whether the Vnode has reached a data saturation limit; when the Vnode has reached the data saturation limit, then determining whether there is another RAT Vnode which can provide better data throughput; and when there is another RAT Vnode which can provide better data throughput, then initiating a handover procedure for the UE and specifying a target cell located in a same geographic area.

    摘要: A method, computer-readable medium and system are presented for providing prioritized connectivity service based on geography using a HetNet Gateway (HNG). In one embodiment, the method includes specifying a location and time where an event will take place; specifying a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event; generating a prioritization profile for the event; providing prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile; and monitoring prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions when the prioritization performance is not met.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer readable medium are disclosed for a Self Organizing Network (SON) assisted optimized Radio Access Technology (RAT) selection for a User Equipment (UE) in a virtualized Radio Access Network (RAN) environment. In one embodiment a method includes establishing, by a UE, a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) and a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) with a virtualized node (VENB); determining whether the VENB has reached a data saturation limit; when the VENB has reached the data saturation limit, then determining if a virtualized function (VRNC) has reaches a data saturation limit; and when the VRNC has reached the data saturation limit, then initiating an Long Term Evolution (LTE) to 3G handover procedure for the UE and specifying a target 3G cell.
