Abstract
A method and a system for intelligent mobile function distribution are disclosed. An embodiment includes discovering, by an Intelligent Mobile Function Distribution (iMOD) entity, resources available in a mobile network and moving mobile functions across the mobile network in accordance with the discovered resources, thereby allowing the mobile network to adapt to changing conditions.
Claims10
A method comprising:
- discovering, by an Intelligent Mobile Function Distribution (iMOD) entity, bandwidth constrains in a first geographical location but not in a second geographical location in close proximity to the first geographical location of a mobile network;
- and
- dynamically limiting, by the iMOD entity, mobile functions at the first geographical location but not at the second geographical location, thereby allowing the mobile network to adapt to changing conditions.
A method comprising:
- assigning, by a Mobility Management Entity load balancer (MME LB), a first User Equipment (UE) to a MME-1 when the first UE satisfies a first policy so that the MME-1 selects a first sub mobile function and the first sub mobile function processes user data for the first UE;
- and
- assigning, by the MME LB, a second UE to a MME-2 when the second UE satisfies a second policy so that the MME-2 selects a second sub mobile function and the second sub mobile function processes user data for the second UE,
- wherein the first sub mobile function processes the user data for the first UE faster than the second sub mobile function processes the user data for the second UE based on a complex policy comprising the first policy and the second policy.

A method comprising:
- discovering, by an Intelligent Mobile Function Distribution (iMOD) entity, bandwidth constrains in a first geographical location of a mobile network but not in a second geographical location of the mobile network, wherein the second geographical location is in close proximity to the first geographical location;
- and
- dynamically limiting, by the iMOD entity, mobile functions at the first geographical location but not at the second geographical location, thereby allowing the mobile network to adapt to changing conditions,
- wherein dynamically limiting the mobile functions further comprises dynamically limiting the mobile functions for a User Equipment (UE) when the UE satisfies a first policy and not dynamically limiting the mobile functions for a further UE when the further UE satisfies a second policy.
