Abstract:
The method includes retrieving subscriber and device information based on an application identifier and a GBR request indication, sending a message to a network entity, the message including a Quality of Service (QoS) Class Identifier (QCI), the QCI indicating an AGBR bearer is to be used for delivering content to a mobile unit, generating an AGBR bearer based on the QCI and a GBR setting and associating the content with the AGBR bearer. The method includes sending a message and the content to a network entity, the message including the QCI, scheduling the mobile unit on the AGBR bearer based on the QCI and communicating the content to the mobile unit based on the schedule.
Abstract:
Various embodiments provide a method and apparatus of providing SPOF elimination for cloud-based applications that provides rules that support rapid elasticity, infrastructure maintenance such as, for example, software/firmware/hardware upgrades, updates, retrofit, and growth, and preventative maintenance such as, for example, cleaning fan filters and replacing failed hardware components. In particular, the SPOF elimination provided by the method and apparatus is based on network architecture and persistent storage considerations in addition to VM to host instance mappings.
