Abstract: A request from a user terminal for content in a content delivery network (91, 94, 97) is directed to a cache (97) associated with the currently-connected access node (17) if the content is available at that cache, and content is streamed from the local CDN cache (97) to the user terminal (90). If the requested content is not identified as being available at a cache (97) associated with the currently-connected access node (17). A check is made to establish whether the requested content is available at any additional network nodes (14, 15, 16, 18, 19) which is in range of the terminal (90). If the requested content is available at any of the access nodes within range, then a handover is arranged to the node (14) with the strongest signal (or optimised for other criteria such as latency or bandwidth), and the content request is forwarded to that access node's local CDN cache (94) for delivery of the content. If it is not possible to identify a local access point having a cache with the required content, a request is forwarded to a core CDN (91) and the streaming session is established through the original serving base station (14). If the user terminal (90) has a dual connectivity capability, it may use two or more access nodes in order to receive the content from multiple CDN sources. The process is controlled from a processor (190) in the user terminal. Identification of available content in the neighbouring cacehes (94, 95, 96, 98, 99) may be performed by handing over, one at a time, to each base station (14, 15, 16, 18, 19) on a neighbour list associated with a respective cache and requesting the content, until the content is identified, the neighbour list is exhausted, or a predetermined number of attempts is reached. In the latter two cases the user terminal then hands back to the original access point (97) and obtains the required content from a default master cache (91).

Abstract: A method of establishing bearers for a device in a wireless communication network, comprising: collecting for the device data over a period of time from communication sessions the device participates in, the communication sessions supported by a first and second bearer for the network wherein the first bearer transports packets of the second bearer between nodes of the network; calculating from the collected data a likelihood the first bearer will be established for the device at one or more different time values, and predicting the first bearer will be established for the device at a time value if the likelihood of establishment at that time value exceeds a specified threshold; and initiating establishment of the first bearer to establish the first bearer for the predicted time value.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method (300) of operating a telecommunications network (110-1), said telecommunications network comprising a plurality of nodes (150), and the method comprising the steps of: storing: a set of historic reconfiguration instructions, said instructions having been used to reconfigure the telecommunications network; first status information from each of the plurality of nodes, wherein said first status information is received prior to reconfiguring the telecommunications network according to a given historic reconfiguration instruction; and second status information from each of the plurality of nodes, wherein said second status information is received after reconfiguring the telecommunications network according to the given historic reconfiguration instruction; receiving a new reconfiguration instruction (310); prior to reconfiguring the telecommunications network according to the new reconfiguration instruction, identifying from the set a similar historic reconfiguration instruction having a similarity to the new reconfiguration instruction within a tolerance threshold; comparing the first and the second status information associated with the identified similar historic reconfiguration instruction so as to determine whether the identified similar historic reconfiguration instruction resulted in a detrimental effect to performance of the telecommunications network; in dependence on whether the identified similar historic reconfiguration instruction resulted in a detrimental effect, calculating a success confidence metric for the new reconfiguration instruction, said metric representing a probability that a reconfiguration instruction does not result in a detrimental effect to performance of the telecommunications network (320); and if the success confidence metric is: greater than a predetermined threshold value, reconfiguring the telecommunications network according to the new reconfiguration instruction (350); or less than a predetermined threshold value, preventing reconfiguration of the telecommunications network according to the new reconfiguration instruction (360).

Abstract: A method of establishing a telecommunications service between a client and a server. The method comprises receiving a request at a first domain for the telecommunications service and providing, by the first domain, a first function for establishing part of the telecommunications service. A process is repeatedly performed until a path is established between the client and the server via a plurality of domains comprising the first domain. The process comprises a domain identifying and instructing a subsequent domain to provide a further function for establishing the telecommunications service, and using the subsequent domain as the domain for a subsequent iteration of the process. The telecommunications service is established between the client and server via the plurality of domains.

Abstract: A wireless access point is configured to regularly monitor the status of WLAN, WAN and ePDG data links to determine whether the current connections are sufficient to support VoWiFi services. When a device (9) connects to the WLAN of the hub and attempts to switch from its VoLTE service to VoWiFi via the hub (17), the hub (17) is configured to determine whether the current conditions can satisfy a VoWiFi connection. If the VoWiFi service can support the connection, the request is routed to the ePDG (25) associated with the mobile device's subscriber LTE network. However, if the current conditions cannot satisfactorily support a VoWiFi connection such that incoming calls may be missed or the quality of active calls would not be clear, then the hub (17) is configured to block the request so that the client device 9 will time out and remain connected to VoLTE.
Abstract translation: 无线接入点被配置为定期监视WLAN，WAN和ePDG数据链路的状态，以确定当前连接是否足以支持VoWiFi服务。 当设备（9）连接到集线器的WLAN并尝试经由集线器（17）从其VoLTE服务切换到VoWiFi时，集线器（17）被配置为确定当前条件是否能够满足VoWiFi连接。 如果VoWiFi服务可以支持连接，则该请求被路由到与移动设备的用户LTE网络相关联的ePDG（25）。 然而，如果当前条件不能令人满意地支持VoWiFi连接从而可能错过输入呼叫或者活动呼叫的质量不清楚，则集线器（17）被配置为阻止该请求，使得客户端设备9将时间 并保持连接到VoLTE。
