Abstract:
According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a system for controlling local breakout using a policy infrastructure. The system includes a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) configured to receive an admission request associated with a subscriber from an evolved node B (eNode B) and, in response to the admission request, to install a subscriber-specific policy on the eNode B for implementing local breakout at the eNode B for the subscriber.
Abstract:
The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing virtualized Diameter network architecture and for routing traffic to dynamically instantiated Diameter resource instances. A system for providing virtualized Diameter resources and for routing traffic to dynamically instantiated Diameter resource instances includes a cloud virtualizer for virtualizing a hardware pool and for supporting dynamically instantiated Diameter resource instances. The system further includes a cloud orchestrator for monitoring network and hardware events and for instructing the cloud virtualizer to instantiate Diameter resource instances or to reallocate hardware from the hardware pool among instantiated Diameter resource instances in response to the network or hardware conditions. The system further includes a cloud flow manager for dynamically configuring at least one network element for routing traffic to the dynamically instantiated Diameter resource instances or the allocated hardware.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for distributing policy rules from a data content network to user equipment in a mobile network are disclosed. In one example, the method includes obtaining, by a mobile offload gateway (MOG) located in a core data content network, at least one mobile policy rule associated with a mobile subscriber. The method further includes transmitting, from the MOG, the at least one mobile policy rule to a user equipment (UE) located outside of the core data content network, wherein the UE is associated with the mobile subscriber and configuring the UE to function in accordance to the at least one mobile policy rule.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for dynamically controlling congestion in a radio access network are disclosed. According to one aspect, a system for dynamically controlling congestion in a radio access network includes a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) for receiving, from a node for communicating with user equipment via a radio access network, admission requests, and, in response to receiving the admission requests, installing, on the node, subscriber-specific policies to control congestion in the radio access network.
Abstract:
The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a PCRF with an integrated openflow controller. According to one system, a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) is configured to determine policies to apply to network sessions or users. An openflow controller is integrated with the PCRF and configured to provide instructions to telecommunications network elements in an openflow protocol to implement the policies.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing sedation service in a telecommunications network are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for providing sedation service in a telecommunications network is provided. The method includes steps that are performed at a session initiation protocol (SIP) sedation node. The method includes receiving a first message sent from a SIP user agent and intended for a SIP server. The method further includes determining whether the SIP server is unavailable. The method further includes responsive to a determination that the SIP server is unavailable to respond to the first message, sending, to the SIP client, a SIP sedation message for reducing the number or frequency of messages sent by the SIP user agent to the SIP server.
