Abstract: A method of managing a telecommunications network, the telecommunications network having a first user and a second user, the method comprising the step of: ascertaining a competitive characteristic associated with the first user and a competitive characteristic associated with the second user (210); comparing the ascertained competitive characteristics (220); identifying whether there is a disparity between the competitive characteristics that exceeds a threshold (230), thereby to identify a competitive advantage associated with the first or second user; and if it is identified that the disparity exceeds the threshold, adapting a network configuration of a network connection associated with the first user so as to offset the competitive advantage associated with the first or second user (240).

Abstract: A method of authenticating a device subscribed to a first wireless communication network on a second wireless communication network, the method including: deriving at a node within the first wireless communication network a set of one or more network keys for the second wireless communication network from one or more network keys of the first wireless communication network that uniquely identify the device within the first wireless communication network; communicating the derived set of one or more network keys to the device; storing a first copy of the derived set of one or more network keys within an identification module at the device and a second copy of the derived set of one or more network keys within a secure area of the device; and authenticating the device on the second wireless communication network using the second copy of the derived set of one or more network keys stored in the secure area of the device.

Abstract: A method of establishing bearers for a device in a wireless communication network, including 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: An LTE cellular network having management mobility servers (MMEs), base stations (enodeBs) and mobile user equipment (UE). The network supporting two groups of mobile device subscribers; subscribers of a macrocell network and subscribers of a small cell network. The base stations being configured to broadcast network information and device configuration information to the mobile devices through System Information Block messages. The base stations being configured to selectively send override parameters to subscribers of the mobile devices to alter the idle mode reselection processing to prefer connections to the small cell network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method (200) of managing a telecommunications network (110), the telecommunication network comprising a network orchestrator (120), a plurality of network nodes (150) and a network ledger (140) for electronically storing data, the method comprising the steps of: the network orchestrator generating an instruction for reconfiguring at least one of the plurality of nodes (210); in response to generating said instruction, requesting and retrieving first status information from the at least one of the plurality of nodes (240); recording the instruction and the first status information to the network ledger (240)); communicating the instruction to the at least one of the plurality of nodes thereby to effect the instructed reconfiguration (230); in response to effecting the instructed reconfiguration, requesting and retrieving second status information from the at least one of the plurality of nodes; and recording said second status information in the network ledger (280).

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 connects to the WLAN of the hub and attempts to switch from its VoLTE service to VoWiFi via the hub, the hub 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 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 is configured to block the request so that the client device will time out and remain connected to VoLTE.
