Abstract
Systems and methods for managing communications among a central entity and multiple local entities in a telecommunication core network are disclosed. Localized central entities may be established across the core network based on localization patterns of telecommunication devices. The localized central entities may duplicate a portion of central entity data and provide local entities more efficient access to the data.
Claims22
A computer-implemented method for managing communications within a core network of a telecommunications network that provides services to telecommunication devices, the core network including nodes corresponding to a central entity and a plurality of local entities, the method comprising:
- determining localization patterns of a plurality of telecommunication devices based at least in part on analysis of data related to the plurality of telecommunication devices that utilize the core network;
- establishing, by the core network, a plurality of localized central entities on the core network based at least in part on the localization patterns, wherein each localized central entity is associated with one or more local entities that the localized central entity serves, and wherein each localized central entity is configured to maintain copies of at least a portion of data stored by the central entity;
- and
- transferring data maintained by the central entity and related to at least a subset of the plurality of telecommunication devices from the central entity to at least one localized central entity, wherein the at least one localized central entity receives and responds to requests from the one or more associated local entities for data related to one of the subset of telecommunication devices.
A system for managing communications within a core network of a telecommunications network that provides services to telecommunication devices, the core network including nodes corresponding to at least one central entity and a plurality of local entities, the core network comprising one or more processors on one or more nodes configured to:
- determine localization patterns of a plurality of telecommunication devices based at least in part on analysis of data related to the plurality of telecommunication devices that utilize the core network;
- establish a plurality of localized central entities on the core network based at least in part on the localization patterns, wherein each localized central entity is associated with one or more local entities that the localized central entity serves, and wherein each localized central entity is configured to maintain copies of at least a portion of data stored by the central entity;
- and
- transfer data maintained by the central entity and related to at least a subset of the plurality of telecommunication devices from the central entity to at least one localized central entity, wherein the at least one localized central entity receives and responds to requests from the one or more associated local entities for data related to one of the subset of telecommunication devices.
