摘要： The various embodiments include methods, computers and communication systems for controlling services across multiple heterogeneous networks, which may include receiving a service request, identifying two or more telecommunications domains required to fulfill the received service request, generating two or more domain specific service requests based on the received service request, associating at least one of the generated plurality of domain specific service requests with one of the identified telecommunications domains, and sending the associated domain specific service requests to exposed public interfaces of the associated telecommunications domains. A component in the telecommunications domain may receive the domain specific service request, decompose the request into resource rule(s), and send the resource rule(s) to a relevant component within the associated telecommunications domain for enforcement.

摘要： The various embodiments include methods, servers and systems for communicating signaling information in a telecommunications signaling network that involves decoding a first portion of the received first message, determining if the decoded first portion identifies a destination component, determining if the destination component can be derived from the decoded first portion when the decoded first portion does not identify a destination component, recursively decoding subsequent portions of the received first message when previously decoded portions do not identify the destination component and that the destination component cannot be derived using the previously decoded portions, performing context-based routing operations using information extracted from the previously decoded portions to identify the destination component, packaging the previously decoded portions along with a remainder of the first message into a second message encoding signaling information, and sending the second message encoding signaling information to the identified destination component over a second communications link.

摘要： Methods, servers and systems for communicating signaling information in a policy and charging control network within a telecommunications signaling network, may include receiving a message encoding signaling information in a dynamic context router operating at the application layer. The dynamic context router may determine whether the received message is to be replicated, and if so, the dynamic context router may identify a primary destination to which the received message is to be sent and secondary destinations to which replicated messages (“fork-routed messages”) are to be sent. The message may be replicated into multiple fork-routed messages, with the original message sent to the primary destination and the fork-routed messages sent to secondary destination components. The replicated fork-routed messages may be the same as or different from the received message, and may be sent using the same protocol or different protocols.

A computing device in the second telecommunications domain may receive the second request message and adjust the second attribute of the communication to alter the first attribute of the communication in the first telecommunications domain.

摘要： Methods, servers and systems for communicating information in networks enable efficient expansion while maintaining high-availability. A first message associated with an entity may be received on a first server. An operation may be performed on certain information included in the first message associated with the entity to identify a first data repository in which information associated with the first message or the entity is to be stored. Information extracted from the first message may be stored in the identified first data repository. When a second message associated with the entity is received, the same operation may be performed on the same certain information included in the second message to identify the first data repository in which information associated with the first message or the entity is stored. The information related to the first message or the entity from the first data repository may then be used.
