摘要:
Systems and methods are described for integrating a gateway in a telecom network environment with charging and payment functionality. The gateway is provided with three points of integration with charging and billing servers. These three points include a payment service, a charging data record listener and a credit control interceptor. The payment service provides an interface for client applications that reside outside of the telecom network to invoke a charging request, to translate the charging request and to relay it to the billing server. The charging data record listener listens for charging data records generated within the gateway and issues offline charging requests to the billing server upon detecting that a particular charging data record has been generated. The credit control interceptor intercepts requests in the communication traffic flowing through the gateway and initiates online charging requests to the billing server upon intercepting said requests.

摘要:
A plurality of service facades are used to expose the capabilities of an underlying telecommunications network in different ways. Each service façade provides a different interface to access a set of functions of the telecom network. The service facades can be accessed by client applications residing externally with respect to the telecom network. The client applications can invoke a particular service façade to send a message to the network and the invocations can be translated to the native protocols used by the resources in the telecom network to carry out the request. The service facades can be deployed on a service access gateway to the telecom network and can include a simple object access protocol (SOAP) façade, a representational state transfer (REST) façade, a service oriented architecture (SOA) façade and a native façade.

Systems and methods are described for providing a gateway that enables cloud-based service exposure. The gateway can allow a particular operator to expose its services and to control, manage and monetize the communication traffic that accesses these services. In accordance with one use case, the gateway can be utilized to expose the services of a Web based application to other external service providers and applications and to manage, control and monetize the requests received from the external providers to the exposed service. In accordance with another use case, the gateway can be utilized to expose the excess capacity of a telecom network, such as a code division multiple access (CDMA) network or a global system for mobile communications (GSM) network and to manage the access to the exposed capacity of the network.
摘要:
A communications marketing and advertising system is described for delivering advertising content to subscribers of a telecommunications network. The system includes a marketplace component accessible by advertisers and ad space owners, which is used to create ad space for delivering content to subscribers of a telecommunications network. The marketplace allows advertisers to submit bids on the ad space and the ad space owners to approve or reject the bids. The system also includes a campaign manager that creates a campaign upon determining that the bid has been approved by the ad space owner. The campaign includes a set of messages containing ad content to be sent out to the subscribers. The subscriber profile module of the system obtains profile data associated with the subscribers of the telecommunications network and customizes the content of the messages according to the profile data. The ad engine delivers the messages to the recipients.
