Communication system, communication apparatus, communication method, and non-transitory medium

A communication apparatus constituting a network of a first data center that is owned and operated by a mobile virtual communication operator, and provides a cloud service by the mobile virtual communication operator, the communication apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing a program executable by the processor,
• wherein the processor, based on the program stored in the memory, is configured to execute:
• a communication process to connect to a first mobile virtual network that is included in the first data center and provide a communication service to a first user terminal in cooperation with a first base station provided in a first communication facility of a first mobile communication operator, the communication process being configured to communicate with a second data center that is owned and operated by the mobile virtual communication operator;
• and
• a control process to control a transmission destination of communication data transmitted by the communication process, the control process being configured to control the communication process to transmit to the second data center, communication data transmitted from the first user terminal to a second user terminal, the second user terminal connecting to a second base station provided in a second communication facility of a second communication operator,
• wherein the first mobile virtual network in the first data center includes a first virtualized core network that is configured to transmit the communication data from the first user terminal to the second user terminal through a second virtualized core network implemented in a second mobile virtual network in the second data center.

A communication method comprising:

• a first data center that is owned and operated by a mobile virtual communication operator, and provides a cloud service by the mobile virtual communication operator, by using a first mobile virtual network configured to provide a communication service to a first user terminal in cooperation with a first base station provided in a first communication facility of a first mobile communication operator, and a first gateway configured to communicate with a second gateway in a second data center that is owned and operated by the mobile virtual communication operator;
• and
• communicating data from the first user terminal to a second user terminal, the second user terminal connecting to a second base station provided in a second communication facility of a second mobile communication operator,
• wherein the first mobile virtual network in the first data center includes a first virtualized core network, and
• wherein the communicating the data from the first user terminal to the second user terminal comprises transmitting the data from the first user terminal to the second user terminal through a second virtualized core network implemented in a second mobile virtual network in the second data center.
